Adopted Dog Monday!

Oh wow, we have a lot to celebrate today!

Dakota, a mid-aged husky mix was adopted by her fosters. Dakota has/had some pretty serious dog-dog aggression issues and Ed and Edith have worked very hard with her over the many months. They have made tremendous progress and hope that next year Dakota will be able to handle having a foster dog in their home. Congratulations, Dakota!

Missy, a black lab mix, has been patiently waiting for her new mom to get settled in a new place so that she could finally go home. That day has come and the adoption is final. Congratulations, Missy!





Clyde was returned to PH after a short adoption last month when he did not get along with the resident dog (not Clyde's fault). He moved to a new foster home, where it just so happens that one of the neighbors had been following Clyde on Petfinder. They ran into Clyde and his fosters on a walk and the rest, as they say, is history. Congratulations, Clyde!



Decey, a hound mix, has been officially adopted by his foster-with-intent family after spending several weeks settling into his new digs. Congratulations, Decey!





Abbie, a black lab mix, had a couple of interested parties come to meet her at our adoption event on Saturday. She picked a young couple to claim as her very own and enjoyed her first adopted dog shopping trip at Petco before they headed out on Saturday. Congratulations, Abbie!




Baxter, a maltese, has had a lot of interest during his short time in foster care and this weekend he went home with a wonderful new family. Congratulations, Baxter!





Louie, a three-legged sheltie mix, was adopted this weekend. His new mom has had her eye on him for a couple of weeks. Congratulations, Louie!






Eli, a Jack Russell Terrier, has been in foster care of over a year. He's a timid guy with a multitude of behavior quirks, but his foster has stuck with him and he has made tremendous progress. Of course, after bonding with Eli and helping him to come so far there was no way that she could let him go, so Eli has been officially adopted by his foster mom. Congratulations, Eli!



Maisey, a beagle, was adopted by a PH volunteer. He was helping out at an adoption event handling a different foster dog when he fell in love with little Maisey. Her new dad works from home and she has a brother to play with. Congratulations, Maisey!

Abbie and Jester

Abbie and Jester came in to Pet Haven this weekend from a small shelter in rural Iowa.

Abbie was surrendered to the shelter because she would not hunt. She's 15 months old and a small lab mix at about 40lbs. She is smart and sweet, the shelter volunteers just loved her. She kept her kennel clean at the shelter so they think she is probably housetrained. She's shy at first, but loves attention once she warms up to you. She is good with other dogs. Abby has gone to a foster home.


Jester is a sweet retriever mix. He has longer black hair. He's estimated to be 2 years old and weighs in at 58 lbs. He's working hard on housetraining and doing very well. The shelter reports that he loves attention and he loves other dogs. He was checked by our vet this weekend and was given a good bill of health other than a little ear infection. He's hanging out at one of our doggy daycare partners while he waits for a foster home. He's a young boy who is still impressionable and I am sure he will flourish in a loving foster home. Maybe that home is yours?
