A Unified Heartbeat: Our Story and Mission
Our Mission
Jess' Haven is a dedicated nonprofit sanctuary that provides healing and hope to horses and donkeys facing abuse, neglect, or abandonment while fostering a compassionate community where both people and animals find refuge and connection.
Who We Are
Providing unparalleled care for rescues is not just a passion--it's a calling. We are a tenacious team of animal advocates, dedicated to providing healing and hope for horses and donkeys who have faced neglect, abuse, or abandonment. Jess' Haven is committed to building a community united by compassion--where animals and friends alike can discover connection and care.
Ed and Cheri Marks, the founders of Jess' Haven, created this sanctuary after witnessing the pain abandoned and neglected horses suffered first-hand and decided to take action. Their commitment to ensuring that no horse or donkey is ever mistreated or forgotten is reflected in the flourishing of each rescue that steps foot—or, ahem, may we say hoof—onto the ranch.
Why Donations Matter
Each life saved is a testament to the generosity of our community and supporters like you. All donations directly fund essential resources like medical treatments, nourishing meals, shelter improvements, and essential supplies. This ensures that every rescue at Jess' Haven is given the best possible care and a restored beginning.
Every gift, regardless of size, is essential to sustaining our rescue efforts and furthering our ability to provide for more horses and donkeys who need a fresh start. With your continued support, we give these precious animals hope, healing, and the opportunity to begin life anew.
