Mission Statement
SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals, Inc., is an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to protect the health and welfare of homeless companion dogs and cats. Through six core programs of Rescue, Shelter Adoption, Health and Welfare, Spay/Neuter, and Humane Education, SAVE focuses on the successful rehabilitation and placement of adoptable animals. SAVE is committed to strengthening the human-animal bond.
About This Cause
SAVE was co-founded in 1941 by two forward thinking women, the late Dr. Cornelia Jaynes and her friend the late Ms. Emily Myrick. Through a series of selfless donations of time, money, land, and resources, they created the Small Animal Veterinary Endowment (SAVE) which rescued strays and provided neutering services. Dr. Cornelia Jaynes became the third female graduate of Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1927. After spending a year as a research technician at the Rockefeller Institute, she opened her own practice on a farm in Princeton, New Jersey. She died on her farm April 15, 1969. Two years later, SAVE merged with the Small Animal Rescue League and, together, the two groups were able to build the shelter of which Dr. Jaynes had dreamed, on the very land where she had spent 40 years caring for the community’s animals. On February 21, 2006, SAVE merged with Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA). Founded in 1998, FOHA concentrated on animal rescue and care in Princeton. The new union, renaming the organization as SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals, is now the largest shelter for companion animals in the Princeton area. Consolidating over 70 years of community involvement and a shared philosophy and mission, the merger of SAVE and FOHA has led to a greater number of successful adoptions.
