Hope Haven opened eight years ago when our founder, Dr. Karen Phillips, began noticing farm animals being surrendered at the city animal shelter where she worked. She knew Pittsburgh needed its own Safe Haven for these neglected sentient animals so she created a farm just for them.
Not only is this a beautiful farm full of amazing and charismatic individual animals but also a charity devoted to spreading compassion and education about animal welfare to the public.
We offer guided farm tours, on-site farm events, participate in offsite events, and try to have a strong online presence.
