Meet Sparrow!
Have you ever wanted a companion who adores people? Sparrow would be your girl! She is an absolute love bug who adores attention and will happily soak up all the affection you can give. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or getting pets during a walk, she is always eager to be by your side. Sparrow has a curious and playful nature, especially when it comes to walks- she loves to stop and smell everything! During one of her Doggy Day Outings, Sparrow showed she's a social girl to people, but may need some reassurance from her handler when new environments are discovered.
If you are looking for a sweet companion, come by SafeHaven and meet Sparrow today!

Hi everyone! I'm Buddy! After making my way through the Candy Cane Forest, I found myself in a strange new place called SafeHaven Humane Society. While I do really like it here I would love to find my dad (or mom). While I have been waiting, I have gone on Doggy Day Outings with people in the community and I had so much fun! Hiking is my favorite! I love to greet everyone I meet and I'm always up for an adventure! I hope my forever family is active so we can run and play for most of the day. I am still learning basic training, but I am very treat motivated and one smart cookie. This year I asked Santa to help me find my forever family, I hope they find me soon!

Meet the most resilient kitten, Mr. Diva!

This adorable fluff ball arrived at SafeHaven in July. We quickly noticed something was wrong and found out he had panleuk, which is such young kittens can be fatal. However, this little man was a fighter and recovered remarkably.

We then discovered he had a diaphragmatic hernia which required a difficult surgery. At the time he was too small to attempt the surgery and was placed into foster care until he was big enough.

Before the surgery could be completed, Mr. Diva was diagnosed with Ringworm and required treatment. Finally on October 8th, Mr. Diva was panleuk and ringworm free and could receive the surgery he needed.

He was adopted after he recovered from surgery and is adjusting well in his new home ❤ His new name is Lucky and he is bonding well with the other animals in the home!

Who’s ready for their new best friend?! Mama Satee is an extremely sweet and energetic girl! She is our professional cat toy tester (they all pass for her) and cuddle bug. She can have a dominant personality with other cats and may do best as the only cat in the home. However, she has enough personality to keep your heart full. Ma Satee is currently on our Home for the Holidays adoption special!

Prince's journey is nothing short of a modern-day fairy tale, one filled with resilience and hope. After a desperate search for his forever family led him to the brink of despair on a euthanasia list in California, fate intervened through the compassionate efforts of dedicated individuals who believed in his second chance. Now safely in Oregon, Prince eagerly awaits the loving home he so deserves. Though he may start off a bit shy, a little patience and time in the yard will reveal the true heart of this gentle soul-one that is ready to bloom into an unwavering friendship. With every wag of his tail, Prince invites you to envision the joy and warmth he can bring into your life.

We are down to two boys in the jungle room! Beetle Juice and Yarrow are both slow to warm up to people and enjoy lounging around without much human interaction (they are your stereotypical cat 😹). However, they warm up well to other cats and slowly become trusting of humans. They have been searching for their forever homes for over 50 DAYS! This holiday season their adoption fees are only $25. Help us find them a forever home for the holidays!

Meet Regan, a delightful and charming soul on a quest for his forever home at SafeHaven! This talkative and independent gentleman is not just a chatterbox; he's also a master cuddler who relishes the warmth of cozy blankets and the joy of playful toys. With a heart full of affection, Regan adores snuggling up with his favorite humans, making every moment spent together feel like a warm hug. While he gets along well with other dogs, he might just prefer to reign as the sole pet in a household where he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves. If you're ready to welcome a new best friend into your life, come visit SafeHaven today! Regan can't wait to meet you and share a lifetime of cuddles and laughter together-because every great friendship begins with a simple hello!

Hi I'm Kent! Did you see my cape? Isn't that cool. I am not a superhero but I play one at SafeHaven! Don't tell the other dogs here how famous I am. I mean I star in some very popular movies, but I truly am just a regular guy trying to find my place on this planet. As you know, I am the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American Way. I am an all American Family dog. I select my friends (dogs) carefully, as I want to make sure that my family is my top priority. There were a few children volunteers at my previous shelter that I loved so much. I have never been around cats, but I wouldn't be opposed to meeting them...if you love them, maybe I could too. I convinced my friends here at SafeHaven that I'm ready to be the star of someone's home and they invited me to be part of their Home for the Holidays adoption special! Now until December 24th my adoption fee is only $50!

Surge, now lovingly referred to as Helena, embarked on a heartfelt journey when she arrived at SafeHaven from Linn County Animal Control, pregnant and in need of a safe place to land. During her "maternity leave," she thrived in a nurturing foster home, joyfully running and playing with other dogs and livestock. Although she felt a tinge of sadness returning to the shelter, her story took a beautiful turn on Black Friday when her perfect family walked through the doors, ready to give her the forever home she so deserved. Here is what her family has to say about their first week together:

"Surge, now called Helena, is doing amazingly well! She loves her human brothers and furry sister! She is very well behaved, smart and oh so sweet! From day one she acted as if she’s always been here! She’s enjoyed playing with her TWO baskets full of new toys, picking out her winter coat, discovering table scraps, and even got her own sofa bed (although she still prefers the sectional!) She does a little dance when we have (approved) visitors because she knows she’s getting snackies and lovings! She’s definitely attached to mom at the hip! We will begin some specialized training soon, after she’s had a bit more time to relax, but we couldn’t be happier that she has joined our family! Our hearts are full. Thank you for caring for her until she found us. ♥️"

Tomorrow marks a remarkable milestone—100 DAYS since Ave, our sweet and timid Tortie girl, found her way to SafeHaven! This gentle soul is ready to bring her unique personality and delightful quirks to a calm and serene household, where she can truly shine. If you know Torties, you know they come with a side of "tortitude," but that's just part of their charm! Help us find Ave her forever home; she’s just waiting for that special someone to appreciate her lovable spirit. And here’s the cherry on top—she’s part of our Home for the Holidays adoption special, with an adoption fee of only $25!

Mikey’s Adoption

After waiting for 9 MONTHS Mikey has been adopted! 🥹 Mikey came to us as a shy puppy back in October. The shelter was a big, scary place to him so he went into a foster home. His foster parents were amazing and really helped him grow into the great dog he is! His personality started to come out within hours of being in their home. During a recent visit with some of their family, a neighbor met Mikey and couldn’t stop thinking about him. They met him a few more times and decided he needed to be added to their family forever! On Friday, they officially adopted him ❤️ Staff stopped in during the adoption to say their goodbyes. We are so excited for this sweet boy! Check out his adoption photo in the comments 🥰

Meet Memphis! Memphis is approximately 2 years old and has been waiting for a family to call his own for a very long time. He has lived in a foster home with other dogs before and done great! This sweet guy can be shy at first, but give him some snacks and snuggles and he'll be the most loyal companion. Stop by today and give Memphis a little time to get to know you - his love is well worth the wait! 🐾
