The White Oak Aniaml Safe Haven is a small, volunteer ran, no-kill shelter that is located in White Oak, Pennsylvania. WOASH has been opening its doors to homeless cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens since March of 2000 and has found forever homes for more than 8,000 pets and counting. We run only on donations from the public and our fundraising events. Without these fellow animal lovers we wouldn't have been able to accomplish what we have done today.
Being a no-shelter we do not have an open door policy which means we can only take animals that we have room for. Currently we are not taking in any animals at the moment but hopefully after Christmas we have some room to take some more animals in.
Meet our featured dogs and cats of the White Oak Animal Safe Haven! These guys featured here are ones that have been here the longest, have special needs, or need a little extra TLC.
Our Featured Pets are Gunner and Princess!
Meet Gunner! He is a year and a half old Pit Bull mix who is looking for that special place to call home. He loves to play with toys and to give love to everyone he meets. This boy is full of life and would love to be with a family is active and keeps busy. He gets along great with people and only wants to cuddle after a nice walk. He should be the only pet in a house, he seems to be too much for smaller dogs and cats. If you're looking for a fun dog to call your own, Gunner is your boy.
Princess is an awesome and sweet DSH Orange and White cat that is looking for a forever home and a lap to sleep on. She loves to be petted and cuddled. Princess adores people and gets along well with the other cats. Altough she is 9 years YOUNG she has many more years ahead of her. If you're looking for a laid back cat that isn't as crazy as a little kitten Princess is the cat for you!
