Blackberry Point Haven

We are a 501(c)(3) organization, licensed as DS-537371. Proud to do rescue our way, always within legal parameters. We are based in Wisconsin.

With over 60 years of combined experience in veterinary medicine and competition in the horse and canine arenas, we bring a deep understanding and passion to animal care. We frequently receive calls from shelters and individuals in Wisconsin and Illinois who, after breeding their pets, realize they are unable to care for the resulting litters. When we take in these puppies, we require owners to sp

ay and neuter the parents as a condition of surrender, and we cover the costs to ensure the breeding cycle ends. This is our commitment to responsible rescue and population control. By intervening before puppies end up in shelters, we help protect them from exposure to illnesses like parvo and other diseases common in high-volume environments. However, given our small size and limited resources, we must be selective about the cases we take on. Even so, when we cannot bring puppies into our care, we often direct families to resources and cover spay/neuter costs to make an impact beyond our walls. We recognize that our adoption fees are sometimes higher than others, but this is intentional. These fees discourage resale and ensure adopters are committed to the process. We follow conversation-based adoptions as recommended by the National No Kill Advocacy Guidelines, prioritizing thoughtful matches between pets and families. While some may have differing views, we do this because the costs of rescue often exceed adoption fees, keeping us operating at a deficit. In addition to dogs, we also foster horses, which comes with substantial expenses of its own. Recently, we applied for our 501(c)(3) status (we have an EIN) and are working to finalize our license. These are crucial steps in strengthening our ability to help animals responsibly. While our preference was to stay off social media, circumstances have made it necessary to share our story more broadly. It’s worth noting that many rescues operate without licenses, which can be verified by checking your state’s licensed dog sellers list online. While a 501(c)(3) is not mandatory, a license is required to place more than 25 dogs annually in states like Wisconsin. Rescue work is as complex as it is rewarding. The animal welfare community is vast, and everyone has their own approach. Our focus is on doing what works best for us and the animals we care for. We encourage you to explore, learn, and choose what aligns with your values—no judgment here. There are many ways to help—this is ours. We may each do things differently, but together, we all play a role in making a difference.

Oliver, Olivia, and their little sister Odette—three 9-week-old mixed breed pups who are equal parts adorable, snuggly, and TOTAL professionals at stealing hearts. 💘

Their breed? Oh, let’s just say it’s a chef’s kiss blend of American Staffordshire Terrier, Labrador Retriever, and a generous scoop of mystery mutt magic. 🐾✨ Our veterinarian gave his best guess, but let’s be honest—they’re 100% Grade-A cuteness.

But their story? Not so cute. These three were found in an abandoned building in Texas (seriously, who DOES that?! 😡).

Thankfully, our friends at Waterford Wags swooped in like superheroes and got them to safety. Fast forward to today: after full veterinary care, plenty of belly rubs, and expert-level socialization. They’re officially ready to meet their adoptive families. 🏡💖

🐾 Ready to meet one of these heart-melters?

Okay… we might’ve slightly underestimated how BIG your hearts are! ❤️🐶 What started as a supply drive for animals in need in LA turned into a full-blown community mission! We DEFINITELY had to upgrade to a bigger trailer because y’all PACKED us to the roof with donations! 📦🐾

It’s literally impossible to thank every single one of you personally, but please know—we SEE YOU, and we appreciate every single bag of food, every treat, every blanket, and every ounce of love you sent our way. 💖

A massive THANK YOU to:

🦴 End of the Leash & End of the Leash - Hales Corners for donating a portion of this weekend’s sales and hosting donation drop boxes!

🐾 Tractor Supply Co. for stepping up in a big, big, way!

🐶 Elmbrook Humane Society for donating food that will help so many animals in need!

🐾🎉 ADOPTION EVENT RECAP: WHAT. A. DAY! 🎉🐾

Well, that was WILD—in the best possible way! 😍🐶 Our adoption event was an absolute whirlwind of wagging tails, happy tears, and families realizing their new family member had already chosen them.

Every single pup soaked up the love like little sponges—zooming, snuggling, and pulling their best "take me home" faces. And the best part? So many families found their perfect match!

Scroll through these adorable photos and see for yourself! Warning: side effects may include spontaneous happy dancing and an overwhelming urge to adopt. 😉🐕

Wow, what a day! Our adoption event was packed, and let me tell you—the energy in that room was something else! It was like The Bachelor: Puppy Edition but with WAY more drool and belly rubs. 🌹🐶

Families were out here doing serious detective work:
🔎 “Does this pup like my kids?”
🔎 “Will this dog steal my snacks?”
🔎 “Can we all agree this one’s the best cuddle buddy?”

Meanwhile, our volunteers were handling adoptions like absolute CHAMPIONS—answering questions, matching pups, and refereeing the occasional tug-of-war over who gets to hold the fluffiest one next. 🏆🐾

And let’s talk about the pups… oh boy, they soaked up ALL the attention. Full-body wiggles, surprise zoomies, and sneak-attack kisses were happening everywhere. Some families came in with a plan, and others were completely outsmarted by puppies who had other ideas. (Spoiler alert: the puppies ALWAYS win. 😂)

It was loud. It was busy. It was FUN. And seeing these families find their perfect match made every second worth it. 💖

Check out these adorable adoption moments below!

🐾❄️ COLD WEATHER, WARM HEARTS! THANK YOU! ❄️🐾

Wow, you all really showed up today—and in THIS weather! 🥶🐾 Seriously, it was so cold even the puppies considered wearing tiny scarves.

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who:
✨ Braved the cold like champs
✨ Trusted our “let the puppy pick YOU” process (because let’s face it, they’re the ones in charge)
✨ Asked thoughtful questions while being covered in fur and puppy kisses
✨ Turned an adoption event into a full-blown cuddle-fest!

Look at these faces— 🐶❄️

We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing families who opened their hearts and homes today. You made this day unforgettable for these pups and for us!

Our Yorkshire Terrier, Shih Tzu, and Chihuahua mix pups (based on our veterinarian’s expert guessing skills) or as we call them, the "Tiny Dream Team" are about to take center stage!

⏰ Time: 10 AM to 1 PM

These pups are up to date on immunizations, dewormed, microchipped, and come with a health certificate. Basically, they’re tiny, fluffy perfection, just waiting to meet YOU.

We’re not doing private adoptions this week (our volunteers need coffee breaks too, you know). But no worries! Head to the comments, click on our Petfinder page for all the details, and if you still have questions, email us at [email protected].

Get ready for a puppy party like no other. See you Saturday—

They’ve traded sad backstories for warm blankets, endless treats, and a foster kid fan club that spoils them rotten. And now, they’re ready to meet YOU—whether it’s for cuddles, belly rubs, or that awkward moment when you realize a puppy just chose you as their human.

📅 When: Saturday, January 11th

⏰ Time: 10 AM to 1 PM

📍 Where: N1320 South Lakeshore Drive, Genoa City, Wisconsin 53128

But fair warning: you might show up just for the snuggles and leave with a new best friend (Hey, we warned you.)

Our Mini Aussie Mix Squad is ready for adoption. These 8-week-old bundles of joy were dumped in Oklahoma (ugh, why do people like this exist?), but their lives have taken a major glow-up.

Mom’s already been adopted (and will be getting her much-deserved “momcation” after spaying), and now her puppies are ready to charm their way into adoptive homes.

These little ones are playful, social, and rocking that irresistible “small but mighty” vibe. Our trusted growth chart and veterinarian think they’ll top out around 10-25 pounds, making them the perfect size for couch snuggles and backyard zoomies.

They’re fully vetted—up to date on shots, microchipped, dewormed, come with an interstate cvi and ready to make their grand debut at our adoption event.

Saturday, January 11th, from 10 AM to 1 PM at N1320 South Lakeshore Drive, Genoa City, Wisconsin 53128.

No pre-applications, no fluff (well, okay, tons of actual fluff), just a fun, thoughtful adoption process.

🎉 Quincy's Adoption Story: Full Circle and Full of Heart! 🎉

Wondering why our junior rescuer Dennis is proudly featured in Quincy’s adoption photo? Well, buckle up for this heartwarming tale with a twist! 🐾💖

Dennis isn’t just any junior rescuer—he’s a superstar who helps at every event, fosters pups, and goes the extra mile for our shy four-legged friends with plenty of cuddles and extra treats. Oh, and did we mention he’s also one of the brave kids who crawled under a house to save Quincy and his siblings? 🙌

When Quincy’s new family started asking questions, Dennis had all the answers. (Seriously, this kid is like a walking puppy encyclopedia—he even watches training videos in his free time!) Moved by Dennis’s dedication and big heart, the family made their decision and renamed Quincy... wait for it... Dennis John! Dennis after our amazing junior rescuer, and John in honor of Quincy's mom’s father.

And if that wasn’t cool enough? They’re calling him DJ for short—the same name as Dennis (our rescuer)’s dog. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s like the universe is winking at us! ✨

Cheers to DJ and his new family for the happiest of endings! 💪🐶

Clearly, she’s made fast friends with the cat and is having WAY too much fun spinning herself silly.
