FALL FUNDRAISER 2026

Sunday, October 18, 2026, 1-5pm

Animal Haven’s annual Fall Fundraiser is one of our favorite days of the year. It is a chance to come together as a community, enjoy great food and music, and spend time with the animals who make this sanctuary so special.

Your ticket includes a full vegan buffet with dessert, along with beer, wine, and non‑alcoholic drinks. Southern Style Band will be performing live throughout the afternoon. Our silent auction will feature items from local artists and businesses. The entire sanctuary will be open, so you can visit stations where you can meet all 60+ animals, learn their stories, and see the impact your support makes. The thrift store will be open as well.

Reserve Your Tickets

Tickets are $25 online per person; $30 at the door. Children under 12 attend free.

Every ticket directly supports the food, shelter, medical care, and enrichment programs that help our rescued animals thrive. Your participation keeps the sanctuary strong and ensures that we can continue providing lifelong care to the residents who depend on us.

You can also shop at the on-site thrift store or take part in our silent auction.

Onsite parking is available. Off-site parking with shuttle service will also be provided for overflow, which makes arrival easy and stress free. Off-site parking will be at Smokey Mountain Lumber Mill at 19 Lower Grassy Branch Rd. After turning off Tunnel Rd., it will be on your right before the Animal Haven entrance. There will be signs and a shuttle.

Whether you are a longtime supporter or visiting for the first time, we hope you will join us for an afternoon filled with compassion, community, and fun. It is a beautiful time of year at the sanctuary, and we look forward to welcoming you. If you cannot make it, please consider making a donation through our website.
