🐶 Meet Clarice 🐶

This sweet brindle female Boxer/Terrier mix is just 5 months old and weighs 16 lbs. With her petite size and the sweetest face you’ve ever seen, Clarice’s foster mom thinks she’ll stay on the smaller side.

Clarice is a playful, curious pup who loves exploring the yard, her nose always on the lookout for new scents. After a fun-filled play session with her foster sisters, she’s all about snuggling up in her foster mom’s lap and giving lots of puppy kisses.

Smart and eager to please, Clarice is doing great with potty training and is quickly learning commands like 'sit,' 'no,' and 'off'—especially when treats are involved! She’s a social butterfly who gets along well with other dogs, holding her own during playtime. While she rarely barks, she can be vocal when romping with her foster siblings.

Her kennel is her happy place, where she enjoys taking naps—often with a foster sister by her side—and she willingly settles in at night for bedtime. Clarice loves meeting new dogs and people and would thrive in a home with other dogs or kids to play with. While she hasn’t met the cat in her foster home yet, she’s always curious and open to making new friends.

Clarice is active but balances it with her love for naps. She enjoys daily walks, is great on a leash, and responds well to redirection.

If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and snuggly companion, Clarice might just be your perfect match!

🐶 Meet Kenji 🐶

This sweet 4- to 5-year-old female cur mix, weighing around 40 pounds, is looking for her forever family. Kenji has been affectionately nicknamed Ginger by her foster mom, and she’s thriving in her foster home.

Kenji is already housebroken and loves following her human around. She’s fantastic with kids, happily living with 11- and 7-year-olds, and was a star with a visiting 3-year-old. She currently shares her home with a small foster dog brother. While her momma-dog instincts occasionally come through to keep him in line, they are getting along well. She hasn’t yet been introduced to cats.

At night, Kenji is a dream sleeper—she rests quietly in her crate without a peep. During the day, she enjoys zooming around the fenced yard but is equally happy curling up indoors for long naps near her favorite humans.

Kenji is shy with new people but quickly warms up into a loving and cuddly companion. She is gentle when taking treats, learning her basic commands, and starting to figure out the fun of toys.

She has about two weeks of activity restriction left as she finishes heartworm treatment but is doing great and ready to bring her gentle, loyal energy to your home.

Could Kenji (or Ginger!) be the perfect fit for your family?

🐶 Meet Fletcher 🐶

Fletcher is a sweet and cuddly 1-year-old male Pit mix (born 4/4/2023) weighing 64 pounds. He’s the perfect shadow companion, happily following you around or curling up for a cozy nap. Fully potty trained, Fletcher hasn’t had a single accident at his foster home and is also crate-trained—though he appreciates a little treat incentive to go in.

Fletcher’s heart is as big as his paws! He’s amazing with people of all ages and sizes and is gentle and curious around other animals. While he hasn’t had many encounters with dogs or cats, slow introductions have brought out his good-boy behavior. He’s even lived with small critters in cages and leaves them completely undisturbed.

When it’s playtime, Fletcher loves his toys (but fetch isn’t really his thing—“My name is Fletcher, not FETCHer!”). He adores running zoomies in his fenced yard but stays calm and collected inside. He’s a chewer, but with enough enrichment and toys, he sticks to his playthings.

Fletcher has a scar on his back left leg that occasionally causes a slight limp, but a vet has confirmed there’s nothing to worry about. This resilient pup is also incredibly tolerant—his ears, paws, tail, teeth, and belly are all fair game for gentle handling. Remarkably, Fletcher has yet to bark at all in his foster home! He’s a little skittish with loud noises but seeks comfort from his people or retreats to his bed when startled.

Ready to welcome Fletcher’s loving, playful, and gentle energy into your home? He’s eager to find his forever family! ?

🤍 FOSTER NEEDED 🤍

💙Training videos included in comments 💙

Hi there, I’m Tigger! I’m a 1.5-year-old pit-mix with a whole lot of love packed into my 50-pound frame (and I’m hoping to fill out a bit more once I’m healthy!). Right now, I’m heartworm positive, but I’m ready for my treatment and the new start it promises.

I’m super smart and learn fast—give me some repetitive, positive training with treats, and I’ll show you how quick I pick things up. Treats? Oh, I LOVE them and working for them makes me so happy! As much as I love walks, I prefer when I don't see other people or dogs. I’m on the lookout for my special person, someone who’ll help me feel safe and confident using positive reinforcement and lots of patience.

My perfect home is one with less chaos, where I can relax and thrive. I do best with adults or families with older kids. I’d also prefer a house with no other pets or just a laid-back, quiet dog buddy. I will need time to trust my new buddy. I’m not sure how I feel about cats yet.

Life’s thrown me some challenges, and I’m still learning that new people, sounds, and fast movements don’t have to be scary. With time and trust, I know I’ll settle into being the loyal, loving companion anyone is looking for.

Oh, and I recently had an interview with a behavioral trainer, and I rocked it! If you welcome me, you'll get to check out that video and other clips that show my potential and how you'll best help me. Let’s start this journey together and make each day brighter. Are you ready to help me? 🐾

Safe Haven provides everything you need to foster including food, vetting, a crate, leash, etc.

🐶 Meet Chance! 🐶

I’m Chance, a 1- to 2-year-old, 40 pound male American Staffordshire Terrier mix who’s full of energy and love! I already know how to sit on command, and when you call my name, I’ll come running with a big smile. I absolutely adore humans and get along great with kids.

I have the playful spirit of a puppy, and going on walks is one of my favorite things to do. After I’ve zoomed around and had my fun, I’m all about cuddling on the couch and binge-watching your favorite shows.

I’m still working on my house manners, but don’t worry—my belly band helps keep things tidy while I learn. I’m a fast learner and eager to please, so I know I’ll have it mastered in no time.

If you’re looking for an affectionate, energetic buddy to keep up with your active lifestyle, I’m your guy! Let’s make some memories together.

🐶Meet Victoria 🐶
Female
2 Years Old
Cattle dog/ Blue Heeler Mix
40 Pounds

Hi my name is Victoria, but my foster family calls me Tori! I'm the sweetest snuggle bug! I love people and prefer to be close with my humans. I do well with other dogs, I have a foster brother who I love, but I haven't been around cats.

I was a new Mama who was very skinny when I arrived from Texas, but I'm an excellent eater and gaining weight. I'm currently around 40 pounds and 2 years old!

I am a herding dog, so I do try to herd my foster brother, and my ears stick straight up when I see a squirrel, but I'm very gentle to other dogs.

I'm an excellent walking companion, and a perfect angel on a leash. I love walks or just being in my yard.

I'm a pretty quiet girl who loves lounging on the couch, chewing on bones or going on car rides. Toys were new to me, but I have discovered I love to play.

I'm doing pretty well with my potty training as long as I'm on a schedule. I love treats, so that always helps me remember to go outside!

At first I hated my crate, but now when my foster parents show me my kong, and say crate I go right in and sleep soundly through the night. I'm in my crate when they are at work, and I only whine for a few minutes after they leave.

I love kids, and getting all the love. I currently live with two four year olds and a nine year old, and they are always loving on me. It's never quiet at my foster home, so the loud doesn't bother me.

I'm looking for my forever family, maybe that's you!

Love, Victoria

🐶 Meet Georgie🐶

I am a sweet Aussie possibly chi mix who is 12 weeks old and as sweet as pie. I’m a petite girl at 7 lbs and will be a smaller sized dog.

I came up with my sister, who I had to protect, she’s blind, and just realized I am safe and don’t have to be on my own anymore. I am currently living with my foster family and their pack of 4 other dogs big and small. I also have 2 foster puppies to play with. I absolutely love children and love having them pet me and play with me. I do have puppy teeth and some herding tendencies!

I am very athletic! Can jump high! Run fast! And dig out of playpens! I am an athletic girl who loves to play tug of war, fetch, and chase balls. I am going to need a savvy owner to keep me secure and safe!

I am working on taking walks on a leash, I especially love to roll in the leaves and carry sticks. Even more fun is to jump on my golden foster brother’s back while we walk or bite his tail. He is very patient and does give me gentle corrects which I respect. I love giving him kisses and curling up by his side. My sister and I sleep in a pile in our puppy pen and are doing a really good job using our potty pads. I have started to potty train but am just a beginner.

I love food and treats and sometimes worry there won’t be enough, so I need routine with feedings to feel safe. I love chewing on puppy bones and adore eating peanut butter out of my kong. My snuffle mat keeps my brain going strong digging up treats.

As the smart girl I am, I am learning “off” when I jump, I know “no” and “sit”.

My perfect family would love someone who snuggles, in fact I give the best hugs and kisses. Nestling my head against their neck. I would love another dog to play with - the chihuahua in the house is my favorite. I know I’ll miss my sister, so the company will be good for my development. I would also love having kids to play toys with me.

If you are active with love and hugs to give please apply to adopt me!

🐶 Meet Brownie 🐶

Hello there! I’m Brownie, and I would love to be your new cuddle buddy. I weigh 30 pounds and am a 3-year-old mixed breed female. My foster parents believe I may be a mix of Blackmouth Cur and Terrier.

I am a shy yet very curious girl. I enjoy making new friends, both humans and dogs, but it takes me a few minutes to warm up. I like both big and small dogs, and I love to run and wrestle with them. Some noises scare me, particularly loud trucks, but I am becoming accustomed to them. I have never met any children, but I am very polite and docile. I am somewhat prey-driven and enjoy chasing after bunnies and squirrels, so I’m not sure how I would behave around cats.

I am extremely snuggly and spoon my foster mom every night in bed. I also love to lay next to her on the couch. I like to follow her around the house and gently bump my nose behind her knees to let her know I’m there. I do fine in a crate, but I would prefer to be with someone who is around frequently. I also love to play! I am learning to fetch by bringing the ball back and enjoy running around in circles when I’m excited. I walk well on a leash without pulling; however, I haven’t quite figured out how to walk in a straight line yet.

I am almost fully potty trained; I have a few accidents occasionally, but I do my best to avoid them.

I’m still learning basic commands, but I respond to a firm "no!" if I do something naughty and come when I’m called. I love treats and am sure to learn tricks with your help! As long as I get a few good zooms around the yard, I am a very polite and sweet little girl.

🐶Meet Espresso!🐶

Hi, my name is Espresso, and I’m a lively three-month-old female Chihuahua mix who loves to play!

My name matches my energetic personality, but don’t let that fool you—I’m a snuggle bug too. I get along well with other dogs but am still learning some boundaries. I get so excited to play that I sometimes jump too much, but I’m improving every day. My bigger foster brother has even started letting me play tug with him, which has been so much fun!

Here’s a little more about me:

I’m a quick learner and already sit on command and go potty outside.

I’m still working on walking nicely on a leash, but I’m getting better each time.

I sleep soundly in my crate but might need a little encouragement to get in at bedtime.

I’m great with kids, making me an ideal fit for a loving family.

If you’re looking for a playful and affectionate pup who will bring joy and energy to your home, I’m the one for you!

Could I be your perfect match?

🐶Meet Cooper!🐶

Hi there, I'm Cooper, a 3-month-old male Chihuahua mix with a big heart and lots of love to give.

I’m a cuddle bug who adores being held or snuggling in your lap. While I enjoy playtime with my sister and foster brother, my favorite moments are quiet ones, like chewing on a bone while getting a belly rub.

Here’s a little more about me:

I get along great with other dogs and absolutely love kids—they’re the best cuddle buddies ever.

I’m crate-trained and settle down quickly after a few little cries. Once I’m in, I sleep soundly like the good boy I am.

Potty training? I’m getting better every day. I might have the occasional accident, but I’m working hard to improve.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate pup who’ll bring endless joy and snuggles to your home, I’m your guy.

Could I be the perfect addition to your loving family?

🐶 Meet Boo Berry 🐶

Hi, I’m Boo Berry or Honey as my foster family calls me!

I am a sweet and docile 7 month old female lab/collie mix with a spunky side! I am about 38 pounds right now but still have some growing to do.

I am completely crate trained and sleep through the night, but also like to snuggle in bed with my foster family. Snuggling is my favorite! (I like to think I’m a lap dog ?) I am also mostly potty trained and love to explore outside! I have only had a couple accidents since coming to my foster home.

I adore my foster dog brothers and sister and love to play with them and go on walks. Did I mention I also have great leash manners?! I have met my foster family’s cats and respect them, but they prefer to distance themselves.

I am an independent girl and will busy myself with my toys and bones. I enjoy lick mats and snuffle mats to stimulate and enrich my brain!

I am very quiet and I aim to please my humans. I know “sit”, “shake”, and “down”. I would do well in a home with other dogs to play with, but also wouldn’t mind being the queen bee. I haven’t met kids, but my foster family believes I would be great with them as I am gentle and haven’t met a stranger yet!

If you’re ready for all the snuggles, I’d be the perfect loving and loyal companion for you!

‼️No longer accepting applications since we received many for Brody ‼️

🐶Meet Brody!🐶

I am an 8 week old golden and husky mix - yep, I love to talk and have husky fur!! I am a big boy at 25lbs and rapidly growing - I will likely be an extra large boy when done growing!

I came up from Texas as a sick puppy but am doing much better now thanks to my foster mom and foster dog friends! I live with 4 dogs big and small and 2 pint size foster sisters and get along great with everyone. The sisters correct me often and I just go with the flow. I do like to complain to my foster mom when they do it by yapping and chatting! I also love children and was even gentle with the toddlers I’ve met.

I am very smart and already doing great with potty pads and just now learning to potty outside. I sleep with my foster sisters at night and will cry if I feel like I’m left alone too long. I walk very nicely on a leash and already know “sit”, “no”, “off” and learning “touch”. I really love to run and am super fast! I especially love cold weather and cannot wait for the snow to come!

I am an active boy that needs lot of brain stimulation and exercise in my forever home!! I would do best with a fenced yard to burn off my energy and will need regular long walks or runs. I also love to dig and play in the mud! Swimming in my water bowl is also very fun!

I would do best in a home that is active with other dogs and kids because I love to have someone to play with! Tug of war, fetch or ball!! I also love my foster mom to carry me or hold me while she’s working so snuggles are must have for me! I will also need grooming which she is also teaching me!

I’ve been told I might be a popular pup so act fast if you might be my forever family!

🐶Meet Alvin 🐶

Sweet Alvin is looking for a new home. He has been loved and spoiled by his single mom, but she has recently been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and is looking to help Alvin find his new forever home. She is heart broken to have to find him a new home but she wants what is best for him and he’s becoming stressed seeing her sick. 💔

Alvin was adopted from a rescue organization when he was 4 months old and has lived all 6 of his years being an “only child” in a quiet household.

We believe him to be some sort of terrier mix; A mixture of cuteness with a koala bear face! Alvin is approximately 45 pounds, has been neutered, and has received regular veterinary care, including being up to date on shots and having had a dental cleaning in August.

Alvin is a bit like the Cowardly Lion . . . He is such a sweet boy with a heart of gold, but is shy and takes a while to warm up to new people and situations. He is skittish and easily spooked by loud noises or unexpected events. Alvin’s mom has learned to take things slowly and let Alvin approach new situations at his own speed. Given time, Alvin will cautiously approach situations until he feels more confident.

As a result of being skittish, Alvin has not spent time on walks, preferring inside adventures. He loves having time to play with his toys and enjoys a good Kong with peanut butter from time to time. He’s also a big fan of squeeze-cheese! He also appreciates a good treat, although he might not be willing to take it out of your hand until he knows you better . . . but he’ll happily eat them off the floor until that happens.

Alvin loves nothing more than to snuggle with his person and enjoys a pretty quiet lifestyle. He generously shares his recliner with his human and delights in cuddling with mom on the couch.

Alvin will appreciate a quiet household with a patient person/people who can give him time to adjust to new situations and people.

Alvin is not crate trained, but willingly spends time in a pen/playpen when left alone in the house. Just turn on the radio so he can rock out to some tunes and he can be a good boy for hours.

There is nothing Alvin enjoys more than snuggling in bed with his mom at night, watching TV together before a quiet night’s sleep. He has beddies in other rooms but prefers the human’s bed . . . wouldn’t you?

Alvin is potty trained and is used to going outside on a leash to potty, as his current yard is not fenced. He is well past the puppy stage, so his trips outside are not frequent.

Ever since he was a puppy, Alvin has expressed his excitement with a spirited bounce! He also shares his thoughts from time to time with a good “sassy” bark, just to remind you that he is there.

Alvin has not been exposed to cats so it is unknown how he would react. He has also not spent time around children, but fast-moving people that make noise might not be his first choice of companions. He has had minimal interactions with dogs but has never shown aggression.

If someone is looking for a companion who loves to cuddle, Alvin might be the perfect fit for you!
