Have you ever thought about opening your home temporarily to help a cat or dog? Would you like to provide a safe place for an animal while they wait for their forever home? We are always looking for fosters and would love to have you! There are many different options while fostering. You could foster orphaned kittens, kittens with moms that would like a quiet place to raise their young, other cats with special needs or cats that don't do well in the shelter environment, puppies, and dogs that don't do well in the shelter setting.
Fosters have been a very important part of Safe Haven since the beginning. Safe Haven started as a foster only shelter. We didn't have a building for almost 10 years! We love our fosters and couldn't do what we do without them! If this sounds like something you would enjoy doing we would love to have you.
Check out our website for more information and to fill out a foster application.

Hi! I'm Billy. I am up for adoption but would really love a foster home while I wait for my forever home. I have been here since November and would really benefit from a foster home. I am 4 years old. I would like a home without other pets. I am good with older children. I love attention and will let you know if I would like more. I would love to sit with you and watch you enjoy your morning coffee, while I enjoy my cream. It is my favorite treat. Sometimes I like to sit on laps. I also enjoy playing with wands and balls. I am a sweet boy and would love to show you. Could you be my foster family?
You can visit www.safehavenforpets.org to check out my profile and fill out a foster application. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks, Billy

Hi everyone! It's me Piper.
I am currently in foster looking for my forever home. I love it here, but am hoping to find my forever family. I have been a very good girl here. I love to play with the resident dog. I would benefit from having a confident dog companion. I am not possessive of food or toys. I like the kitties here too. I enjoy running and playing with toys. I also like to take walks. I tend to be a little nervous around new people but, I warm up pretty quickly. I love to snuggle with people. I am a pretty quiet girl. I enjoy older children as well. I would love it if you would come meet me. You can check out my profile and fill out an application. Thank you!

Safe Haven is announcing that a 100% match of spay/neuter donations, up to $2,500, is being made for the remainder of August. The anonymous donor has indicated that additional matching funds may be made available if community response is sufficient.

To participate, please mail your check to Safe Haven with the phrase β€œSpay/Neuter” in the comment section or by using the donate button on our website and specifying β€œSpay/Neuter” in the comments.

This offer is being made to allow Safe Haven to make further progress in reducing overpopulation of cats in Jo Daviess County communities. Safe Haven recently received a $2,000 grant which will be used to transport cats to Madison Cat Project, the most available high volume low-cost spay/neuter facility.

Please consider donating to help alleviate a growing problem.
