Photos from 7/17 Medium/Large Dog adoption event

At yesterday's medium/large dog adoption event at the Richfield Petco we had Beulah (aka Bell), Chester, Sherman and Thunder make their appearance. With the exception of Thunder, who is an 8 - 9 year old St. Bernard/collie mix, all the others are new dogs into Pet Haven's foster program and are beautiful black dogs ... on the left is Bell who has already captured the heart of foster mom and foster dad. In the animal rescue world there is a term call Black Dog Syndrome ... unfortunately big black dogs are euthanized at one of the highest rates in shelters and animal control facilities across the country (after pitbulls). To learn more about Black Dog Syndrome check out the MSNBC article.

The small dog adoption event at the Calhoun Chuck & Don's was also hopping and we will have more info on these pups soon! Click here for a list of all of our available dogs up for adoption.

The following is a short 2 minute video of photos taken at the medium/large dog adoption event. We hope to see you at the next adoption event. For a list of our upcoming adoption events check out our website, www.pethavenMN.org.
