💕We strive to help the seniors and keep them out of the shelter environment. Unfortunately we are a very small rescue and can only take in a few at a time. We want to ensure every animal in our care gets the care they need this includes physical care, medical care, and mental care (not overwhelming them).

We currently have multiple animals on hospice care who get daily medications and medications can be pricey. It’s all worth it to keep these animals out of the shelters. 💕

Hello Friends! Where are our hound lovers? Let's get this sweet girl adopted!

🌻June (aka: Junebug)🌻 is a 1 year old hound girl.
She is spayed, vaccinated, tick disease and heartworm negative. She does well on car rides, doesn't mind being in a crate when left alone or when it's bedtime, and loves cuddling up on the couch with you.

June does not bother the cats in her foster home and loves to play with her canine foster pals and her foster parents. June is also happy just playing alone with her toys. She also enjoys her walks, long or short.

💛Her beginning was not an easy one, but she has thrived since being in her foster home. Let's give this girl her happy ever after!

If you have any interest in Junebug please send us a message on here or shoot us a email at [email protected]

🌼Loretta🌼

On July 29th, we briefly introduced you to a little beagle girl we named Loretta Jean. Here is more of her story.

Found as a stray, she waited patiently at a shelter for her family to come for her. Sadly, they never came to take her home.
It was love at first sight when we met Loretta and just knew she had to become a part of our Safe Haven. We had her spayed, vaccinated, and tested for parasites, heartworms, and tick disease. She is free from any tick disease and has been treated for intestinal parasites.

Unfortunately, Loretta has tested positive for heartworms, which can cause severe heart and lung damage when left untreated. We can not bear the thought of that kind of outcome for this precious 3 year old, and we will be starting her treatment soon.

Heartworm treatment can cost anywhere from $600 to $1,500, which includes medication prior to receiving 3 separate injections over a period of time, followed by more medications.

If you would like to donate towards Loretta’s treatment she would greatly appreciate it 💜 After Loretta’s treatment and she’s cleared by her vet she will be looking for a forever home.

Thank you One By One Deathrow Dog Rescue Inc. for the food! The seniors appreciate your generosity 💜

🌸BENJI🌸

Little man is doing great! He’s spending time at his second foster mom’s house this weekend. Benji will have to undergo another surgery to closeup his oronasal fistulas. The first surgery he had on them the stitches popped unfortunately.

We are very hopeful this time around they will stay put! Please keep Benji in your thoughts 💜 we are unsure when the procedure will take place but will keep you guys updated.

Mack and Makoto 💜 Fun fact Makoto is one of the only dogs Mack instantly liked at first sight. Other dogs Mack has had a wall up and it takes time.

🥁Drumroll please 🥁
Everyone meet Loretta! This spunky 20 pound 3 year old gal is a new comer to the Safe Haven. She is full of light and personality. Loretta came to us heartworm positive and is looking for a chill short term foster home just until her heartworm treatment is complete and she’s cleared to go up for adoption.

✨Loretta does good with other dogs and doesn’t mind cats. She does not mind being crated. She loves to play, play, play. While she does have her play sessions she needs a relaxing foster home.

🌟If you are interested in fostering Loretta please reach out through email [email protected] or comment on this post.

Last week as all the dogs were coming inside, Benji took a tumble down the stairs 😔 poor guy cracked his jaw. He went to the ER that night and his primary the next day.

After having his jaw sutured, teeth pulled, 2 oralnasal fistulas sutured. Benji is on the right track to a full recovery. He go to spend some days with his other foster mom for close monitoring after his surgeries.

Thank you Spotsylvania Animal Hospital and the amazing team you have for fixing Benji 💜

Introducing Junebug! This poor girl is just a year old and has already had a rough start to life. Saturday she was scheduled to be euthanized for a possible intestinal blockage 💔 Well that didn’t happen and she was signed over to us. After an exploratory surgery that showed she was clear (she was spayed during the procedure) she was moved into a foster home.

Junebug is a sweet, loving 1 year old. She loves her foster home including the cats and dogs. She walks well on a leash and loves to eat!

We can not thank Spotsylvania Animal Hospital enough for providing care to this sweet girl❤️

Please consider donating to the care of Junebug 💜

Last week one of the feral cats decided to go “fishing” 🎣 Somehow he ended up with a fish hook in his lip! Thankfully Spotsylvania Animal Hospital was able to get him in and remove the hook. He, now “Hook”, is said to make a full recovery. Everyone meet Hook!
