Max the Hound

I had the chance to meet this sweet boy over lunch yesterday. Max came to us from the Sioux City IA animal control. He's one of the lucky ones who had a couple folks really advocating for him and persistently worked to find him a place at a rescue. He arrived this past Saturday and after getting checked out at the vet I picked him up yesterday to transport him to one of Pet Haven's new doggie daycare partners, Now Boarding.

Max is a lover and definitely a hound :) He definitely wanted to take me for a walk guided by all the lovely scents that i'm sure he wishes I could enjoy just as much as he does!

As much as we love and appreciate our doggie daycare partners we would love to get Max into a foster home. That will then allow us to bring another dog in to our foster program! If you would be open to fostering Max email us at volunteer@pethavenmn.org.

Koda is searching for a home!

Koda is a 4 ½ year old, male, Lab/Dalmation mix who’s looking for a foster home. Koda is a former Pet Haven dog who returned to us because his owner didn’t have enough time to spend with him. Koda is dog-friendly when out on walks, and is doing very well learning how to not pull on his leash.

If you're interested in fostering Koda, please email Celayne at dogdirector@pethavenmn.org.

Everyone needs a little Enya

Enya, the dog, that is!

Enya is an 8 year old, 27lb, female sheltie mix who needs a foster a home. Enya is being surrendered by her owners because their two-year old daughter is allergic. Because Enya is coming directly from a family and home life, we need to find her a foster home rather than boarding.

Enya is a very sweet, beautiful girl who is housebroken and would be great for a first time foster! One note, she doesn't get along with cats...or rather, she likes to chase them but they don't necessarily like it.

If you're interested in fostering Enya, please email Celayne at dogdirector@pethavenmn.org.

Colby would like to come home and play!

Colby (formerly Chili Pepper) came to us a few weeks ago, and while he loves playing with Missy, who’s also boarding at Pampered Pooch, he really needs a foster home!

Colby grew up in the shelter, but has the sweetest demeanor. He’s a smaller black lab, about a year old. He is a very laid, especially for an adolescent boy! He walks very well on the leash, and a slight fear of small doorways, but is getting over that.

Colby gets along well with cats, as well as other dogs. He's a little bit of a follower and really needs someone who will love him and help him gain his confidence. A good leader with a gentle touch would be helpful for this boy.

Heather, a trainer at PP, hung out w/ both Colby and Missy yesterday and had this to say:

I took Colby and Missy out to Petsmart today for a nice little walkand to see how they did around distractions and how they walk onleash. They did absolutely fabulous at the store, in fact its funny how theybehaved 10 times better than all the other dogs in the store withtheir actual owners!! Dogs barked and snarled at them and they juststood and looked at them like "what are you doing?" They could havecared less! Both walked awesome on gentle leaders and by the time weleft, they were both walking behind me.

It’s pretty cute how well these two get along. If someone could handle it, they would do great getting adopted into the same home, and they could wear each other out!

If you are looking to foster a truly nice dog, you can’t go wrong with Colby! And of course if you’re interested in fostering two absolutely wonderful dogs, Missy would love to go home you as well!

Max is on his way to MN!

Meet Max!

Max is a 3 yr old male Collie/Hound mix (approx 60lbs) we’d like to bring in from an Iowa shelter.

Sources say that Max is quiet in the kennel (quite a feat!), both dog and kid friendly, and an all-around sweet boy. And really, who can resist this face?

If you are interested in fostering Max, please contact Celayne at dogdirector@pethavenmn.org

Savannah needs a foster!

This poor girl has been with us now for a couple months. She was recently being well cared for by one of our doggie daycare partners but an extended amount of time in a doggie daycare environment is just too much for any dog. She had been losing weight and is now being boarded at our partner vet clinic. I learned the other day that she has stress colitis. Please help us find a foster home for this sweet girl. 

Check out her bio to learn more about her. Please help us get the word out about her and help us find her a foster home, or even better, an adoptive home. We need to get her into a home where she can get some individual love and attention.
