Adopted Dog Monday

We have had three of our dogs from People 4 Pets adopted in the last two weeks. Bob is lucky to have found a new life with a couple that have another lab mix named Al, a beautiful home near their work, and a lake home where they spend three days out of the week. Stay tuned for updates on Bob's swimming and dock jumping abilities. Congrats to Merry, Aaron and Ian on your 4th adoption.

Buster was the last of the three springer/beagle puppies to find a new family. He is living with homeschooled children from 3 to college age. He will be part of the curriculum this summer including dog training classes. The kids were so excited to take Buster home.

Thanks Mike for fostering Buster. And for spending so much time with his new family giving them training tips.

Frankie a spaniel/lab mix found his forever home with an active family full of teenagers. He is another one of the family members going along to soccer games, picnics, and trips to the dog park. Thanks again Mike for taking Frankie into your home. And congrats on two successful adoptions.

First there were three springer/beagle puppies...............

Then there were two springer/beagle puppies............

Now there is only one 16 week old puppy left. It's me Buster. I have watched both of my brothers get picked over me. I was there when each of them found their forever families. It is tough to be the last puppy left without a home of my own.

Please it is my turn now. I am doing good on potty training and puppy socialization. Pick me, pick me! You can find out more about me on my bio page. I will love you forever.

Adopted Dog Monday!

Wilma, a sweet black lab, was adopted this weekend. Her new dad works from home so she will have someone to hang out with most of the time. They also live across the street from a dog park -- what a lucky girl!






Cocoa was adopted by her foster dad this weekend. Dave said that it became clear that Cocoa already thought she was home and given all the change that she has gone through recently he couldn't stand the thought of making her go through another adjustment. Congratulations, Cocoa!






Buster has also found a foster-with-intent home. He will pack his bags and move next week. Congratulations, Buster!

Buster: Big personality in a little package

Buster is a 1 year old Pomeranian and quite the little clown!

When Buster first arrived in Pet Haven care he was a scared boy. He would snap at strange people and strange dogs, but as his confidence has grown these behaviors have subsided. Now Buster loves to play with other dogs and has learned that new people frequently hand out treats! Buster does need a forever home that will provide him with structure and training -- treating Buster like a toy, accessory or baby (common mistakes with toy breeds) makes him feel insecure. He needs to know his new family is in charge so that he can relax and just be a cute, fun and charming companion.

Buster recently spent a few days out at All Seasons Canine Country Club, one of our fabulous boarding partners, for a little socialization boot camp. He loved it and they loved Buster. All of the staff fell in love with him and Buster had a blast playing with dogs of all shapes and sizes. In the photo to the right you can see him sacked out snuggling with a min pin friend that he met during his stay.

The staff at All Seasons also worked on teaching Buster some new tricks. He now knows how to "roll over" and "sit pretty" along with all the basic commands. He would love to show off for you. Please email pethavendogs@yahoo.com if you are interested in meeting Buster.

Adopted Dog Monday!

Here it is -- a new standard feature for the Dog Blog -- every Monday I will let you know which dogs found their forever homes over the past week. Many people have told me that they wished they could learn about when the dogs are adopted (outside of the Happy Tails on the website and in the Pet Haven Newsletter). Everyone could use a pick me up on a Monday morning -- and what's more heart warming than reading about adopted dogs?

Without further ado...

After 7 months in foster care, Hank has found his forever home. Hank has two kids and a fenced in yard to call his very own. He lives only a few blocks from a fabulous dog park. His new mom and dad are taking time off from work to get him settled into the house.








Keisha is a 6 year old lab/beagle mix who never even made it onto our Petfinder available dogs listings. She was adopted at her first Adoption Day appearance! Congratulations Keisha!





Libby went home this week. She has a lab sister and 7 year old twin boys to throw the ball for her. Libby's idea of a dream come true!











Buster went home this weekend with a woman who has owned Cocker Spaniels for more than 20 years. She knows all about Cockers and their allergy issues and she's prepared to keep working with Buster on his skin issues. What a lucky boy!




Seeka, one of our spaniel puppies, and Sammy Jo, a brand new chow/papillion (?? who knows, but she's cute!) mix, went home with foster-with-intent-to-adopt homes this weekend. Peanuts and Snickers, two fox terrier mix puppies were adopted at long last by their foster-with-intent families.
