Homes needed for unwanted pets

A pet-adoption organization based in Sturgis is seeking homes for several displaced or unwanted pets, as it is ceasing operations.

Pet Haven, which started in the 1980s, has struggled with financial obligations, hastening its end, according to founder Lois Rosenburg. The non- profit organization, which does not have a permanent site, operates from volunteer foster homes that keep animals until they are found permanent homes.

All pets have been checked by veterinarians to make certain they do not have any health problems. Cats are checked for blood diseases, while dogs are checked for heartworm and other parasites.

More information about adopting a Pet Haven animal is available through its site on Facebook or by phoning 651-4237.
