Constant ringing blares from the former animal shelter, which abruptly closed in October 2013. The sound breaks the eerie calm that otherwise surrounds the shelter. Beep-beep-beep sounds come in rapid-fire bursts just loud enough to notice, just quiet enough that it’s almost inaudible down the driveway.
It’s a contrast to the final days of Safe Haven, when moving trucks, media and cars streamed down the gravel pathway off Shingle Point Road in an effort to remove animals from the failing shelter. In the process, 19 dogs were euthanized at what had been a no-kill shelter.
That was the day Safe Haven ended as a business; the end became official in May 2015 when U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Mary Walrath approved a motion by Safe Haven’s attorneys to abandon the property.

They had big dreams and that was their downfall. They thought they could run it like the nationally known Best Friends Animal Society or Cleveland Amory's Black Beauty Ranch.
The biggest mistake they made was overbuilding the facility.
'Safe Haven was built using a $2.7 million loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Program..."
More taxpayer dollars wasted.
I wouldn't say the tax dollars were wasted...I'd say the management wasn't what they should have been and big mistakes were made on their part!!
So sad because the animals always seem to loose.
