Someone dumped these sweet pups at the end of Kelly's Hollow Forest Road. Someone has picked them up and they are safe. Let me know if you may know whose pups these dogs belong to or if you want to foster or adopt them!

If anyone around Roanoke is looking for someone to watch their dog(s) for them, contact me and I will put you in touch with Kaitlyn, who worked for us for many years. She is watching dogs at her place and doesn't have a lot of kennel space, however she does have space and would like to help out and continue to see some of the regulars that visited us! Thanks

Update - Hi Everyone! I'm still here at the shelter. No one claimed me :( They are taking good care of me here and I will be ready for adoption soon. Hint! Hint! XOXO


I got caught cruising down Dawnridge Lane with no collar and no license 😞. They have taken me to the RCACP Shelter in Roanoke to keep me safe. As you can tell by the look on my face I would really like to go home. Do you know my family? Will you please share my post? XOXO

Great News Everyone! My Mom just called the Emergency Communications Center and she is on the way to rescue me! Thank you all so much for the love and shares. XOXO

Well friends I rolled out this morning sporting my favorite camo collar. I was headed up to Camp Bethel to see the kids and check out the cool summer camps. As you can tell by the look on my face I got lost. For my safety they have taken me to the RCACP Shelter in Roanoke. Can you share and please have my family rescue me!! 540-344-4922 XOXO

Hyperventilation Thursday is upon us. We have turned the corner on the distemper cases and modern medicine has prevailed. Of the 20 dogs that came from the shelter with distemper, we lost only one which is miraculous. Now we have a mountain of emergency vet debt to pay off. We had built up a reserve again which we have now wiped out and we are again in the red. And so I panic.

The attached bill is the balance still left. Until we pay this, we are hamstrung in what we can do for other dogs and the dogs are still in need everywhere. If you'd like to donate $5 to help us help the other dogs out there, you can donate here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LPNJEHNPR8AUU

Thanks as always.

Assistant Chief of Police Justin Hunsucker for Whitesburg Police Department in Kentucky is desperately seeking assistance due to the heartbreaking flooding that Kentucky is currently experiencing.

“I know it may be a long shot but we are desperate for police cars…we’ve lost around 7 total cars. If any departments can loan, donate, or sell us a few cars it would be appreciated.

PS I know this is very minor considering the circumstances.”

We are ONE TEAM ONE FIGHT, if anyone can help, please reach out to him!

Good morning! The pictures below represents us still looking for one or two good people to work at Peaceful Haven Kennel! Ideally, we would like to find a full time kennel manager and another part timer. Pay is based on experience, ability and/or qualifications. However, I'm willing to bet it's more than what one would think.😉 Availability on weekends and holidays is necessary, however it won't be every one as we like to rotate when we can. If anyone knows someone who may be looking for a job that they can work alone and stay busy, please have them contact us! Please share as well.

Good afternoon everyone! The kennel is extremely busy for this time of the year, which is awesome. So, we are currently looking for a couple people to add to the staff here. We have been short staffed for quite a while and I'm sure everyone would like a little bit of a break in their schedules. We are looking for a person that could serve in the role as kennel manager, so it would be a full time position. Mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends and holidays are absolutely required. Pay is going to be based on experience and/or ability to do the job. The person must be able to lift up to 50lbs and have the ability to handle large breed dogs. The job requires you to be on your feet constantly and they need to be able to walk up to 5 miles a day. The other position is a part time position, and depending on how busy the kennel is, it may have full time hours depending on time of year, vacations ect. Pay based on experience and ability to do the job efficiently. Please share and have anyone that you know contact us if they are looking for a job. Thanks!

Do we have any adopters looking for an Anatolian mix? At only six months old she found herself abandoned at the vet clinic by her owners. We are seeking an east coast adopter and/or foster.

Her given name is Slinky. I’m sorry - we have to change that. Suggestions?

Our bald eagle was back again at Peaceful Haven looking for trout in the creek. Won't find any left after all the rain we have had. You'll never know what wildlife you will see here when you drop off or pick up your pups at Peaceful Haven. Benefits of being on the edge of the national Forest!

Good morning. We are looking for part time kennel or farm help. Early morning hours are required as well as weekends and holidays. Experience with farm animals is a plus however it is not necessary. Email ([email protected]) or contact us on messenger for more information or any questions you may have. Feel free to share. Thanks!

03/16/2018

Good morning everyone. We are looking to add some help here at the kennel/farm. 2 or 3 people depending on various factors. 2 of the positions will be at least 30 hrs a week. We start early in the day and finish later than most kennels, so we have 2 different shifts to cover. It is a very physically demanding position and prior experience with dogs is a definite plus. People interested in gardening and care of farm animals would be helpful as well, however it is not necessary. We are currently looking for year round employees with flexibility in their schedules. If anyone knows of anyone please have them email us @ peacefulhavendogkennel@yahoo. Thank you

Good morning everyone. I was contacted this morning from a person with shenandoahrescue.org to see if anyone may have an interest in adopting a sweet 3 month old hound mix. Please take a sec and check out how cute she is. From what I hear, she is absolutely an incredibly mellow girl. If you know someone that may be looking, please share or pass along. Thanks!
