Twyla - Adopted 4/25/2024

Twyla and her siblings had been abandoned in a shed without food or water and without human interaction. PSP contacted us and asked if we could assist and Kelli & Nicole drove out to the property, made their way through a shed of filth, dirt and rusty tools, and worked on getting the pups out and checked over. The pups literally screamed when they were touched, picked up and held. Nicole and Kelli cleaned them up, cut their nails, started them on dewormer and did initial intakes and assessments, and thankfully we had some wonderful foster homes step up on extremely short notice and offer to open their doors to these babies and help get them healthy and social, the way puppies need to be.

Twyla had an amazing foster mom who has done a beautiful job helping this gal out of her shell, and getting her healthy. She also had a human foster sister to help her get socialized with kids. They taught her basic commands and worked on her house and crate training and we are forever grateful for their help.

We are so very thankful as well to her new family, for choosing to open their hearts and home and adopting this beautiful Angel in need. Twyla has a great mom and dad, two doggo brothers and some human kiddos to grow with and have adventures with, and whom she also already seems to adore. We wish all of you the absolute best life together filled with joy, laughter and so much love.

Happiest tails, sweet girl. You are so loved!

Dory - Adopted 4/20/2024

Dory is one of the Disney underdog princes and princesses and today she found her happily ever after.

Dory and her 14 siblings were hospitalized in critical care after contracting parvo. Though they all fought hard, only 6 of the 15 were able to overcome this highly fatal and highly contagious virus. She and the other 5 spent two weeks in the hospital before they tested negative and were well enough to be released. They then made it to their foster homes and began to learn what life is supposed to be like.

We are so thankful to her foster home for providing him the space, comfort and security he needed while he learned how to play, started learning some basic manners and commands, and began to learn how to be loved and show love.

We are also so grateful to her new family for choosing to open their hearts and home to adopting this angel in need. Dory has a great mom and dad, two human siblings and a doggo brother who will keep teaching her the ropes to a successful and happy life.

We wish all of you so much joy and love that your hearts can’t stand it.

Milo - Adopted 4/20/2024

Milo was found as a pup with two siblings, wrapped in insulation and shoved under a trailer. Thankfully someone found them and started their vet care and then asked us to help with this baby.

Milo went to foster care, and learned all the things a puppy should learn and then was adopted. Unfortunately, his first adopter had to return to work in office for very long hours and didn’t feel it was fair to leave Milo alone for so many hours a day.

Milo returned to his original foster, whom we are so thankful for, and picked up where he left off and showed us he was still the fun loving boy we knew. He settled in and awaited his true forever.

Today he got to go home. Milo has a wonderful new mom and dad, and a doggo sister to spend his days romping and enjoying life with.

We wish all of you every day filled with laughter, love and all the joy you can handle.

Happy tails, sweetest boy! You are so very loved!

Moira and her siblings had been abandoned in a shed without food or water and without human interaction.

Happiest tails, sweet girl. You are so loved!

Costello - Adopted 4/14/2024

Costello joined us on Jan 2, as a part of the dogs removed from a Bedford home that was neglecting their needs, causing extreme physical abuse by not addressing veterinary ailments, allowing them to live in their own waste, and watching as their hair matted from filth, their infections got worse, their bodies started to shut down.

Costello had a severe eye ulceration, the white of his belly and paws, stained yellow and brown from urine and feces, his genitalia swollen and burned from urine, his spirit broken, but open to love.

Costello had weeks of treatments on his eyes, he had many baths to try to remove the urine burns and stains. He had weeks of working on his confidence. He received several sets of vaccines. He was neutered. He began trusting, he began showing off his goofy, silly personality, he began enjoying every day, he began to live. His foster home did an excellent job of working on his confidence, trust and providing him with safety, security and above all, love. But, as much as he’s progressed at trusting people—the thing that brings him the most joy, the most confidence and the most meaning out of life—is other dogs. He learns from them, he watches them, he adores them and he lives his life befriending all he can. We are so thankful to his foster family for allowing him the chance to grow, to live and to flourish.

We are so thankful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this angel in need. Costello has an amazing mom who also helps out other animals who need rescued from time to time, he has a great dad, some adult human siblings, and best of all… he has three of his very own doggo sisters to spend his days in awe of, playing with, and continuing to grow with. We wish Costello and his new family each and every day filled with the biggest blessings, the most happiness and joy, and endless laughter and love.

Happy tails, handsome man. You are so very loved!

Tad - Adopted 4/13/2024

Tad was at risk for euthanasia at the shelter in August of last year. He was having some pretty severe kennel stress—and if you don’t know what kennel stress is, it is when dogs start to shut down, start to have extreme anxiety, start to basically go crazy—because they live their lives in a small concrete block every day just starting at cement and wire. This is not the fault of shelters. They do the very best they can. They take the dogs for walks, they do enrichment activities, they offer puzzles, they have playgroups…. But they can’t give every single dog the one on one time and attention they deserve… and sometimes that they need. Some dogs just can not handle shelter life. And that’s understandable. Because we truly wish there wasn’t a need for shelters, for rescues but there are and always will be. Sometimes that means that a dog’s brain deteriorates past the point of being able to be helped. And Tad was well on his way to reaching that point. He was medicated with anxiety meds, and even those failed. So, his shelter director reached out to me and asked if we had space because euthanasia is not taken lightly. That very same day, before I even had a chance to say anything, one of our amazing, dedicated fosters saw him on the list as at risk and reached out to me and said she wanted to give him a chance. We went over the risks… he might be too far damaged from kennel stress to be able to adjust to life outside the shelter, even though he couldn’t handle being there. We didn’t know how he would do with other animals, she has dogs and a cat. We didn’t know how he would react to people and strangers, because he hadn’t been exposed to many. And we discussed the positives. He may adjust fine, he may be a brand new dog, he may love other animals, he may adore people, he may just need a chance. But that chance was up to her and her dedication, and we would stand by her no matter what she decided. And she decided that the reward was worth it, and even if we couldn’t save him and he wasn’t able to adjust, that we and she would give him the very best few weeks he had ever had, and if that was all we could give him, that was more than he would have if she didn’t try.

I was so proud of her in that moment. I would never personally ask one of our fosters to ever make that choice, to take on that risk, but when they are aware of all that can happen and fight for the dogs just as much as I always will…. Well, that is the reason we rescue.

Tad didn’t get a few weeks. He got just shy of 8 months with his foster mom. 8 months of getting him healthy mind and body— heartworm treatment, leg surgery (he had a previously broken leg that had not healed properly), vaccines. 8 months of learning to live in a home and be absolutely loved beyond words and cherished. 8 months of training—learning some manners (he still needs to remember these when he’s excited). 8 months of learning how to play. To be a dog. To be given a chance. 8 months free of anxiety medication.

The reward very much outweighed the risk in Tad’s case. He was just a big ole puppy in a big ole body, who just needed someone to love and to love him. He flourished, he learned, he loved.

8 months of being loved by his foster, who gave him a chance, so that 8 months later he found his forever home. His foster saved his life, we were lucky to be along for and watch the ride.

We are so, so very thankful to his new family. For choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting an angel in need. For giving this boy, his next second chance. For choosing the one who’s been overlooked. The one who’s been waiting. The one who wants nothing more than to just. Be. Loved.

He has a wonderful mom and dad and two human siblings to entertain, to make laugh, possibly to knock down from time to time, and to share his life and his love with. And we could not be more thrilled for Tad, and for his family.

We wish all of you every single day filled with laughter, with adventure, with joy and above all, love. Thank you for choosing our boy.

Happiest tails, handsome. You are so very loved!

Alexis - Adopted 4/13/2024

Alexis and her siblings had been abandoned in a shed without food or water and without human interaction. PSP contacted us and asked if we could assist and Kelli & Nicole drove out to the property, made their way through a shed of filth, dirt and rusty tools, and worked on getting the pups out and checked over. The pups literally screamed when they were touched, picked up and held. Nicole and Kelli cleaned them up, cut their nails, started them on dewormer and did initial intakes and assessments, and thankfully we had some wonderful foster homes step up on extremely short notice and offer to open their doors to these babies and help get them healthy and social, the way puppies need to be.

Alexis had an amazing foster home who has done a beautiful job helping this gal out of her shell, getting her socialized and getting her healthy. They taught her how to sit, lie down, give paw, to wait, and they worked on crate and house training. Alexis today is nowhere near the Alexis who entered the rescue in early March, and for that we are forever grateful to her foster family.

We are so very thankful as well to her new family, for choosing to open their hearts and home and adopting this beautiful Angel in need. Alexis has an amazing mom and dad whom she’s already attached herself to, and a little human brother to grow with and have adventures with, and whom she also already seems to adore. We wish all of you the absolute best life together filled with joy, laughter and so much love.

Happiest tails, sweet girl. You are so loved!

Avaley - Adopted 4/7/2024

Avaley arrived at the Haven last July. She was very pregnant, heartworm positive, and very timid. We named her Avaley because it means pretty as a bird, and to live and to breathe. She had puppies 3 days after arrival and for a little over two months, she was a very good mom to 6 sweet, rambunctious pups, who we named the Chicklets. They all found homes and then she began her long, taxing heartworm treatment, gaining weight, and working on some pretty significant anxiety.
She made it through with flying colors. In the meantime, she learned manners, she learned commands, and she perfected that sweet pout in hopes of finding her forever. Today, she found them.

We are so thankful to her new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this Angel in need. She is the only princess of the home, will have their undivided attention. She has a great mom and dad, and a human brother to spend her days bonding with. We wish you all every ounce of happiness, joy and love that this life can bring you.

Happy tails, beautiful girl. You are so very, very loved!



Isla - Adopted 4/6/2024

Isla came to us recently as an owner surrender and went to her foster home to begin working on basic commands and starting her vetting. She is an energetic, talkative, young, excitable and affectionate young gal and we quickly fell in love with her. She had a UTI that needed addressed, all of her vaccines started and boosters and needed her spay surgery completed. She started her vaccines (she still has a few to get that we will cover), completed her antibiotic treatment and had her spay earlier this week, so was excited and ready to go to her new home. We are so thankful to her foster for giving her love, compassion, patience and kindness while she had her medical needs address and awaited her family.

We are so thankful to her new mom for choosing to open her home and heart to adopting this Angel in need. Isla has a kind, wonderful mom, a Doggo sister to romp around with, and some doggo “nieces” to meet and enjoy life with. We wish you all the best that life can bring you every single day.

Happiest tails sweet girl! You are so loved!

Petey - Adopted 4/6/2024

Petey originally came to us after being found as a stray by one of our shelter partners and we quickly learned he was a sweet, energetic but heartworm positive guy. He underwent heartworm treatment and learned a great deal from his foster mom and was then adopted. Unfortunately the other dog in Petey’s adoptive home was not a fan of sharing his space, so Petey came back into foster care and awaited his true forever family.

We are so thankful to his foster moms for providing him a s safe space to heal, to learn, to prepare for a home and to give him a foundation of love to grow and blossom in. Without our foster homes, we could not help as many dogs as we are able.

We are so thankful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this Angel in need. He has an amazing mom and dad, and two girls to call his own. Petey will be the only dog in his home and will rule the roost and have all the adventure he could ever dream of. We wish all of you each day filled with laughter, love and so much joy.

Happiest tails, handsome! You are so very loved!

Oliver - Adopted 4/2/2024

Oliver joined the haven a little into February, and went into his foster home to continue working on his basic obedience skills, finish up his vetting, and to prepare to transition to his forever home. His foster family did an excellent job showing this boy compassion, kindness and love and we are forever grateful to them for giving him the safety and security of a home to wait and prepare for his final stop. He worked on his socialization and his timidness and he blossomed into such an amazing boy!

Despite our earlier April Fools post, we go through great lengths to ensure that each of our dogs goes to the home that is the one that is the very best suited for their needs, preferences and temperaments. Oliver had a ton of applications and we ended up closing them. All were great homes, but unfortunately not exactly what he needed at this time, so we then accepted a few more applications. This time, we found the perfect family who checked off each of his boxes he asked for. You see, we don’t require things because of our preferences, we require things because of the dog’s needs and preferences. Not every dog requires a fence, not every dog requires older children, not every dog requires other dogs, or no other animals…. But some do. And we will always choose the home that is best for them and their needs. Even if we have to keep looking.

We are so thankful to his new family for choosing to open their hearts and home and adopting this Angel in need. Oliver has a wonderful mom and two human boys to now call his own. He has some grandparents who live right down the road who can check in on him and dog sit him when he needs. He has large windows to look out of and watch the world whenever he wants (something he loves to do). And best of all, he has a family who already loves him and are so thrilled to welcome him to their lives.

We wish all of you every day filled with laughter, love and more joy than you can dream.

Happiest tails, handsome man. You are so very loved!

Tootsie- Adopted 3/30/2024

Tootsie originally came as part of 7 toy poodles from a breeder. They all had a lot of work to do on socialization and house training, and learning how to be dogs in general. Tootsie was adopted and unfortunately came back due to her fear and distrust of men. She then went on a weeklong adventure, apparently trying to “find herself,” while we frantically tried to find her for real. Thankfully, she was found and was no worse for the wear, albeit covered in ticks, but otherwise unharmed. She returned to her foster and settled in to wait for her forever.

We are so thankful to her foster family for taking this girl in and giving her safety and love, for doing everything possible to help find her during her self reflection journey, and for caring for her during a tough transition while she settled.

We are so grateful to her new mom for choosing to open her home and heart and adopting this Angel in need. Tootsie will take some time and decompression to fully open up, but we know that she has found the perfect person to give her all she could ever want or need. Tootsie is the only doggo queen of her domain, with a mom dedicated to loving her until the end of time. She has a kitty sibling to spend her time with and to enjoy each day of the rest of her life.

We wish all of you the very best that life can bring you in every capacity.

Happy tails, sweet girl. You are so loved!

Scout - Adopted 3/20/2024

Scout joined the haven not terribly long ago. She was extremely well taken care of, trained and kept up on grooming and her vetting by her previous dad. Unfortunately he developed severe allergies to Scout and tried for over a year with medical intervention at some of the top clinics in the country alleviate his symptoms so he could keep her. Even going to such lengths though, sadly his health didn’t improve. He reached out and asked if we could help. When I picked her up, my heart broke for him and for her. He was tearful and she very much loved him. Ultimately, he just wanted her to find a family who could love her just as much as he has.

We are so thankful to her foster for providing her a place to ease into transition while also showing her love, comfort and kindness. They helped her enjoy her time at the haven while she started her CIV vaccines and had some bloodwork done. Foster homes help each dog get ready for their forever family, while loving them as their own.

We are so grateful to her new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this Angel in need. Scout now has a wonderful mom and dad to adore, and two human sisters to grow up with and become best friends with. And we have no doubt that’s exactly what she will do. She truly is an amazing girl. We wish all five of you every day filled with love and laughter.

Happiest tails, beautiful girl! You are so very loved!

Maverick - Adopted 3/16/2024

Maverick came to us a month ago and everyone very quickly fell in love with this handsome fella. He is an amazing pup who loves to herd his foster families chickens, snuggle up with other dogs and kiddos and has equal parts zoomies and calm. He’s truly been perfection.

We are so thankful to his foster family for giving him safety and love, for working with him on integrating him to new situations and for allowing him space in their home until he awaited his forever to find him. Our fosters are true blessings and without them we are unable to help the majority of dogs in our care.

We are so grateful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this Angel in need. Maverick has a wonderful mom and dad who fell in love at first sight and again at first meet. He has a human brother whom we know he will wriggle his heart right into. He also will have Doggo friends and neighbors to play with all the time, and even a neighbor who has offered to let him herd his chickens from time to time if the need strikes. We couldn’t have asked for a better life for him. We wish all of you the very best that this life can bring you.

Happiest tails, sweet boy! You are so very loved!

Garth - Adopted 3/11/2024

Garth is one of the Bedford dogs and was one we took because he was the most fear reactive, growly and snarly of the bunch. We wanted to make sure that he was in a home environment to minimize his stress and so that he could be placed in a home that would be patient enough and understanding enough of his needs so that he didn’t feel the need to ever bite anyone—because he absolutely would if he feels uncomfortable or threatened.

We are so thankful to his foster family for providing him exactly what he needed in terms of structure, patience, grace and calmness so that he could adjust and become the best little gremlin he could ever be. And he has. He has finished all of his vetting, and thanks to his foster, was ready for a new beginning!

We are so grateful to his new family for choosing to adopt this angel in need. They spent several visits over several weeks allowing him to come to their home to get comfortable in a new environment before he made a full transition…. And soon enough, he acted like he owned the place. He has a wonderful mom and dad who love him very much, and a doggo sibling too! We could not be happier for all of you and wish you every good thing life can bring your way!

Happy tails sweet Garth! We love you so much!

Abbott - Adopted 3/8/2024

Abbott was another of the Bedford dogs. His eyes were so severely infected, he couldn’t see properly, and he couldn’t even make tears and lubricate his eyes. He had a mass on his back. His teeth were terrible. And his fur, well his fur was so matted that there was a clump the size of a softball on the end of his tail that caused a deep infection on his tail that we weren’t even sure would stay healed.

Amanda and her team at D'tails Professional Dog & Cat Salon & Resort did the best job at getting his fur and skin all cleaned up, and our team at Veterinary Medical Center got to work on healing the rest. They removed his mass and had it biopsied, they medicated his body and his eyes, they tested and retested. They worked hard to give him the best possible chance at becoming healthy, and he took every one of them.

We are so thankful to his foster family for providing him with the safety, security, comfort and love that he so desperately needed during his healing. They made sure he got his meds, worked to help him gain weight, helped him with his confidence and clumsiness, loved him as their own. Without a foster home to heal in, this boy wouldn’t have gotten to where he is today. Loved and healthy.

There was a chance his eyes wouldn’t heal, he would be completely vision impaired and he would never make tears. He overcame.

There was a chance his tail would need amputated. He overcame.

There was a chance he had cancer. He overcame.

A boy who had a life no dog should, he overcame and he persevered. He thrived. He defeated his past.

We are also so very thankful to his new mom, for choosing to open her home and heart to adopting this angel in need. Abbott has an amazing mom who is prepared to give him everything he could dream of. He has a doggo sister to play with, to bond with, and to love and grow with. He has a brand new life and we could not be more thankful and happy for them, for him.

We wish the three of you every single good thing this life can bring you.

Happiest tails handsome boy, you are so very loved!

Frost - Adopted 3/8/2024

Frost is one of the remaining Bedford dogs. He was covered in urine stains, afraid to leave his crate, had a little weight to gain, a little teeth work needed, and a whole lot of trust to form. He was terrified to step foot into the world for awhile, unsure of what it would bring.

With the help of his wonderful foster home, he began taking baby steps and learning that the outside world really isn’t so bad and can be an amazing place. He got all cleaned up with baths each week, he had his vaccines started and boostered, he had his bloodwork done and he had his surgery. And along the way, this terrified sweet soul has blossomed into a curious, sometimes nosy, little love bug who wags his tail in delight and relishes in some basic human affection. His foster did a truly amazing job helping him heal his body and heart, and showing him what life should’ve always been like. We are forever thankful.

We are also so very grateful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this angel in need. He has an excellent mom and dad who have already gone above and beyond to ensure they are the best home they can be for this boy, and give him every single thing he could ever need or want. He is already so cherished by his mom and dad. Frost is a dog who will need a fenced in yard due to his skittishness, speed and exploratory skills, and even though they didn’t have a fence, his dad said no problem and got to work on getting one. We have no doubts this boy is in the best hands possible, and he even now has a kitty sibling to boot. We wish you all so much health, happiness and fulfillment.

Happy tails sweet boy, you are so very loved!

Jimmy - Adopted 3/7/2024

Jimmy is also one of the Bedford dogs. This sweet boy had absolutely horrible dental issues, was missing around 75% of his hair, had deep eye ulcerations, infections covering his head and body, and was in very rough shape. But with the help of his awesome foster home, he was ready for the next step in his journey.

We are so very thankful to his foster for providing him with the safety, security, love and care this boy needed to begin to heal, begin to thrive and begin to live. He was on multiple antibiotics, had two surgeries, and had a lot of medicated spa days. Slowly but surely, his body caught up to his heart in terms of healing. His eyes are healed, his skin is healed, his teeth are healthy and clean, he now has luxurious hair, and is a boy who knows what he wants. We can never express our gratitude to his foster family for being exactly what he needed until he found his way.

We are so thankful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this Angel in need. He has a wonderful new mom and dad who are no strangers to rescue dogs and have fostered quite a few themselves. He will be the king of his domain and has a beautifully fenced in yard so he can roam around and live his life to the fullest. He will get all the attention and love he could ever need. We wish you all the absolute most love and joy you can dream of.

Happy tails, handsome boy. You are so very loved!

Dexter - Adopted 3/7/2024

Dexter is one of the Bedford dogs. He had severe ear infections, missing hair on his body, skin infections and sores, urine stains and was much too skinny.

He went into a wonderful foster home where he learned to be part of a family. He was taken to his vet appointments, fed properly and with appropriate food, he took his medications…. And he healed. His skin healed. His sores healed. His ears healed. He gained weight. His heart healed. He learned to be loved, he learned to love. He got all his vaccines, his bloodwork, his surgeries. He learned to enjoy affection and snuggles. He learned to utilize that nose the way he always wanted. He learned how to be a dog. Because a foster home was kind and loving enough to open their doors. We can not express our gratitude for how thankful we are to them. For caring for him, for loving him, and for letting him find the home best suited for him.

We are also so very thankful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this Angel in need. Dexter now has an amazing mom and dad who have had beagles their entire lives and are so happy to be adding him to their home. He has a large yard to explore, he has extended family who will give him attention and affection, and he has everything he could ever dream of. We wish you three a very long, happy and love filled life together, with the best sniffs, the best exploring and the best laughter life can bring you.

Happy tails sweet boy, you are so very loved!

Peach - Adopted 3/2/2024

Peach was one of the Bedford dogs. We did not choose her because of her medical needs, because she was grossly matted, or because she was one of the most severe. We chose her because she was the most terrified, the most shutdown, the one who would need the most patience, understanding, calm and quiet. She didn’t want anyone to even attempt taking her out of that kennel that first day. So I crawled inside it with her and talked softly to her for a bit, letting her know she was safe, that we would help, that she would never again have to be so scared.

Peach went into her foster home, for whom we are so, so extremely thankful for, and they gave her just what she needed. Her own space. Her own timeline. Decompression. Patience. Understanding. And most of all, love. They took her to her appointments where she had a few teeth removed, all of them cleaned, her vaccines, her bloodwork, her urinalysis. And with each vet visit, she got just a little more comfortable. With each passing day, she opened up a little bit more. And then she showed some of her sweet, silly, and very zoomy personality. We knew she would need a special home who could also offer those same things, but without her foster home, the one best suited for her needs, she may have never found out just how to become herself.

We are so grateful to her new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this beautiful Angel in need. She has a wonderful mom and dad who are over the moon to welcome her into their family. We have ensured they are aware of all of her needs, that they have the understanding of who she needs them to be until she becomes who she will be. And she will be the most important and only princess of her castle. We could not be happier for her. She still has her spay surgery and her last vaccine scheduled in a few weeks, so you’ll see her once more when that happens, but for now sweet Peach, have the happiest life. Zoomie to your hearts content. Love and be loved. And most of all, know that you are and forever will be safe.

Happy tails beautiful girl. You are so very loved

Lemmy - Adopted 3/1/2024

Lemmy was one of the Bedford dogs. He had mats, skin infections, and was covered in so much lice you could see them crawling on his head. He tested positive for Lyme disease and he is extremely timid and shy. However, not today.

We are so very grateful to his foster family for providing him the comfort, safety and love of what a home is supposed to be. For taking him to his vet visits so we could get his lice treated, vaccines, surgery and his Lyme disease treated. For allowing him to feel the true meaning of family, the true meaning of being an Angel and for allowing him the grace to grow, to decompress and to flourish.

We are so thankful to his new family. He has an amazing mom who will be taking him to work with her once he has adjusted and settled in. He has an older human brother who he seemed to immediately take to—which surprised us a bit because he’s been very timid of other men. And he will be the number one, top dawg at his new home. He will rule the roost, be loved, be adored and be happy. And we couldn’t be more thrilled for the three of them.

We wish you all the very best life filled with laughter, adventure and so much love you don’t know what to do with.

Happy tails sweet, handsome boy. You are so very loved!

Mora - Adopted 3/1/2024

Mora was previously an Angel with us and was adopted after her litter of beautiful babies found their own happily ever afters. At the beginning of this year, we were contacted and she unfortunately needed to come back to foster care.

We are so very grateful to her foster for opening her doors to this beautiful girl who needed some affection and a place to land and adjust while she awaited her forever. Mora quickly showed she was still the same loveable gal we always knew, got updated vaccines and a 4DX test and she was ready to say peace out I’m goin home!

We are so very thankful to her new forever dad for opening his home and heart and adopting this Angel in need. She will get all the love and affection and attention she can handle as the only queen of the castle. She will spend all of her time being cherished and doted upon with no one else to compete with. And we couldn’t be happier for either of them. We wish you both every ounce of joy and love that this life can bring you.

Happiest tails sweet girl. You are so very loved!

Bowser - Adopted 2/28/2024

Bowser was one of the Bedford dogs. He was almost immobile. He was emaciated. He couldn’t stand up straight, his body hunched when he tried. He had sores, mats and was fearful of everything…. But extremely sweet. Some thought he was older, because of his stature and state of his teeth…. But just one look at this boy and I knew he was young, not more than two, and he had a road that no young pup (or any dog) should ever have to travel. Bowser is estimated to only be around a year old, maybe a little older but not much.

Bowser went into his foster home and had a long road ahead. He needed to gain weight, but needed to do it slowly, controlled, on a schedule and safely so that his body didn’t shut down. He needed to learn how to love and accept love. He needed his inside healed just as much as his outside needed healed. His foster family did an outstanding job with both, and we are so so very grateful to them. To date, Bowser has gained around 12 lbs. He has approximately ten to go. His skin has healed. His sores have healed. He is now able to walk, to jump, to run. He finds joy in simple things most take for granted—having a friend, having a toy, having his own blanket in his own crate…. And simply waking up each morning with someone to love him. He is still timid in new situations but his growth has been phenomenal. And he’ll only continue to progress.

Bowser has his forever now. And we are so thankful they have chosen to open their home and hearts to adopting this Angel in need. He has an absolutely wonderful mom and dad who will do everything he could need to ensure his safety, health and happiness. Bowser now has two furdog siblings to continue to be his support, to teach him the ways of life, and to help him thrive. Bowser needed the comfort of another dog in a new home for his confidence, and he not only gained those two, but also a kitty sibling to keep him on those toe beans.

We are simply thrilled for all of you and wish you the absolute most love and joy that this life can bring you.

Happiest tails, sweet boy. You are so very loved!

Monty - Adopted 2/23/2024

Monty is one of the Bedford dogs who was so matted that his entire back end and rectum area was full of infection. He was shaved and then started medication and went to his foster home where he received so much love, so much care, and so much patience… he couldn’t have asked for a better stepping stone to transition to his forever. We are truly so very thankful to his foster for all the time and effort put forth into making sure he made his appointments, followed his medicine schedules, and making sure he was learning how to be a real dog. Without a foster, he could not have come so very far.

Monty took a little bit to open up, but once he did, he showed he’s a young little guy who is just filled with sass and energy, spunk and isn’t afraid to stand his ground. He is a sweet boy, who is going to thrive in his forever home.

We are so grateful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting this angel in need. He has two human siblings, a wonderful mom who will be home almost all the time with him to help him become successful at completing his house training, a wonderful dad, and a doggo sister to continue showing him how to properly be a dog and teach him the ways of the world that he’s not yet learned.

We wish all of you the absolute best and most wonderful life together.

Happiest tails, little one. You are so very loved!

Lucia - Adopted 2/23/2024

Lucia was on the euthanasia list at the dog wardens office and they put out a desperate plea for help. She was one of several dogs used as breeder dogs and treated not so nicely. The others found rescue placement, Lucia did not. We had a foster willing to open their home to her to save her life—so we went and got her. She’s been extremely shy and nervous in new situations and it took her weeks to accept affection and months to start playing with new things and continue to show her personality.

Today, she got her forever.

We are so very thankful to her foster home for being the exact home she needed to learn to trust, to learn to love and be loved, and to receive the vetting and care she deserved. They love her deeply, and will miss her terribly, but ultimately know that if they can’t let their fosters find homes, they can not help save the lives of more. Our gratitude for that gift can not be measured.

We are so thankful to her new home for opening their home and hearts and adopting this beautiful Angel in need. She will likely regress a little, and will need time and space to come into her home but has all the tools she will need to flourish. She has a wonderful mom and dad and a fursister who can’t wait to be friends.

We wish all of you more happiness and love than your hearts can handle.

Happiest tails, beautiful girl. You are so very loved!

Goliath- Adopted 2/21/2024

Goliath is one of the two Bernese Mountain Dogs we took in from the Bedford case, and he has absolutely lived up to his name. There was no obstacle he found insurmountable—including climbing on top of the washing machine, no toy he couldn’t beat—including a ring camera, from which we got amazing inside coverage of his mouth, and no challenge he couldn’t match—like perfectly imitating the fire siren.

This boy is basically an 8 week old pup in a massively large body, and we could not have asked for a better foster for him to tackle his challenges and get him started on the right path to his forever life. He had three separate ear surgeries, multiple, multiple vet visits, and tried to leave as much destruction in his path as possible if he wasn’t being loved on every moment of the day. We are so extremely grateful to his foster mom for keeping him safe, for seeing him through all of his vetting, for rising to each of his challenges and for loving him so fiercely.

We are so very thankful to his new mom, for choosing to open her heart and home and adopting this Angel in need. She has been thoroughly prepared for everything he may choose to bring her way, and is excitedly up for the challenge. And we couldn’t be more thrilled for the both of them. He is the sweetest boy, who loves with his whole being and his mom will soon be retiring and will be able to spend each and every single moment with the new love of her life, and he will have her all to himself, which has been his biggest dream. He even has pup sitters lined up for miles for when she has to work for now, until they they can ride off into the sunset, paw in hand.

We truly wish the both of you a life filled with adventure, laughter, joy and every ounce of love and happiness you deserve.

Happiest tails, Goliath. You are so very loved sweet boy!

Boo- Adopted 2/19/2024

Boo is one of the Bedford dogs. He had horribly bad skin infections, some of the most awful dental issues, eye ulcerations and cataracts, and was missing almost all of his hair. He went into his foster home and worked on healing… physically and mentally. And he has rallied spectacularly.

We are so thankful to his foster family for giving him the safest, comfiest space possible to rest, recover and learn to be loved properly. They did a wonderful job healing his heart and soul as well as his outer being. His infections are all cleared (he just needs a bit more hair to grow back) and his ulcerations are cleared, though he still has some permanent vision loss, and his teeth have all been removed but one. He feels so much better, in every way, and it is largely in part because a foster home took him in. The rest is because of our amazing veterinary team, and all of you. For your support and kindness. We are forever grateful.

We are also blessed and thankful to his new mom. He will be the king of the house and doted upon like no other. He will spend all of his days being adored and loved. Given every ounce of attention and care his little soul could ever want and need. We wish nothing but the absolute best for you both.

Happiest tails, handsome boy. You are so very loved!

Mario- Adopted 2/16/2024

Mario was one of the Bedford dogs and was friendly from the beginning, but wasn’t sure how to really “dog.” He settled into his foster, whom we are so very thankful to for providing him a safe place to crash while he adjusted and got his vetting! He started opening up and exploring and finding out what dog life is about. He began his vaccines, had his teeth checked, had his neuter surgery, and has a few appts left but he is well on his way to being the dog he was meant to be. He is a busy body who loves to explore the world.

We are so grateful to his new dad for choosing to open his home and heart and adopting an Angel in need. Mario joins a fursister, a princess Chihuahua, and will be more than happy to keep her busy and be her best bud for the rest of his days. We wish the three of you all the happiness, love and joy that this life can bring you.

Happy tails, little man. You are so loved!

Yoshi- Adopted 2/10/2024

Yoshi is another who came from the hoarding situation and has spent the last almost 6 weeks getting his vet care taken care of, learning how to live in a proper home filled with love, safety and people who care, and showing us his personality so we knew just the type of family he would need.

We are so grateful to his foster family for providing these things to him while giving him the patience he needed, the decompression he required and the love he deserved while we took care of his physical needs. Yoshi has just a bit more vetting, but will finish his care at our vet, while he settles in at his forever home.

We are so thankful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting an Angel in need. Yoshi has a wonderful mom and a human sister who already love him so very much. He has some fur siblings at home who will help him build confidence and trust with his new family in the weeks to come. He will be treated like the precious soul he should always have been.

Happiest tails, sweet, handsome Yoshi. You are so, so very loved. 

Toad - Adopted 2/10/2024

Toad came from the hoarding situation and has spent the last almost 6 weeks getting his vet care taken care of, learning how to live in a proper home filled with love, safety and people who care, and showing us his personality so we knew just the type of family he would need.

We are so grateful to his foster family for providing these things to him while giving him the patience he needed, the decompression he required and the love he deserved while we took care of his physical needs. We honestly are more grateful to our fosters than we can ever convey.

We are so thankful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting an Angel in need. Toad has a wonderful mom and dad who will dote on him and cherish every moment with him, and who will ensure he will never again know anything less than he deserves.

Happiest tails, sweet little Toad . You are so, so very loved.

Kringle - Adopted 1/27/2024

Kringle arrived the day after Christmas. He had been found tied to a fence with electrical cable at around 8 weeks old. Thankfully, some good samaritans found him, got him to the vet and then reached out for help.

We are so thankful to Kringle’s foster family for providing him the safety and comfort of a loving home while he received continued vet care, learned how to be a dog, and awaited his forever home.

We are so grateful to his forever family for choosing to open their home and hearts and adopting an Angel in need. Kringle has two awesome parents who couldn’t wait to welcome him, two human brothers who are over the moon excited to love him, and a fur sister who he met and hit it off with right away.

We wish all of you the absolute most joy, laughter and love that life can bring your way.

Happy tails, sweet boy! You are so loved!

Kobe - Adopted 1/20/2024

Kobe joined us mid-December as an owner surrender due to owner health issues. He had been on two different anxiety meds when he arrived and after settling into his foster home, we weaned him to one and have full confidence once he settles into his forever he can be weaned off completely.

We are so thankful to his foster family for giving him the space, time, love and care he needed while he finished up his vetting and testing and awaiting his new family to find him.

We are so grateful to his new mom for choosing to open her home and heart to adopting an Angel in need. Kobe has an amazing mom, some human siblings and a doggo brother named Finn whom he absolutely adores. Kobe’s new family recently lost two of their dogs in a short amount of time, and their hearts and Finn’s heart were devastated and grieving. We know a new dog never replaces the love, memories and presence of those lost, but we also know that a new dog can absolutely help heal the devastation and help start to repair some of the holes left behind.

Kobe will now spend each day living on a huge farm where he can play, romp and live his life to the fullest. We wish all of you every ounce of laughter and love that this life can bring you.

Happiest tails, handsome boy! You are so very loved!

Lona - Adopted 1/19/2024

Lona came to us after being taken out of a bad situation by a Good Samaritan who reached out for help. She is 3 years old and has already birthed five litters of pups.

Her foster home stepped up, took her in, gave her love and patience and we took care of making sure all of her vetting was completed and that she’ll never again be subjected to being a baby maker. We’re so grateful that her foster home let her have space in their home, and in their hearts, so that she could find her forever.

We’re so thankful to her new family for choosing to open their home and hearts to adopting an Angel in need. Lona is their second “Angel” and she joins Emily from our Gilmore girl trio who was adopted last year. We know Lona will have a blast with her new sister, and that her parents will dote on her every day until forever.

Happiest tails, beautiful girl! You are so very loved!

King - Adopted 1/17/2024

King arrived in November after being a shelter office dog for awhile. He went into his foster home where he proved to be great with cats and had already shown he was a fan of other dogs. His foster worked hard to let him know how to adapt to life in a home and the comforts of a couch and a warm place to be loved. We are always so so grateful to each and every one of our fosters for opening their homes to help us save lives, to do a lot of the work helping them adjust and get ready for their new lives, and for always doing the hardest job, loving them enough to let them go to their forevers so that another dog can have the same opportunity at a happily ever after.

We are so thankful to King’s new mom for choosing to open her home and heart to adopting an Angel and need, and to his new dad! King can be shy of men, but was instant best friends with his mom’s boyfriend during their initial meet and didn’t take long to seal the deal and win both of their hearts.

We wish all of you the absolute very best of everything life can bring your way.

Happiest tails handsome man, you are so loved!

Delaney - Adopted 1/15/2024

Little Delaney came to us at the beginning of November as part of a rescue from a breeding farm that’s no longer in business. She had lived her whole 3-4 years of life in a barn. Never had grooming, never had vet care, just a life filled with providing puppies to be sold. She has luxating patellas so should’ve never been bred to begin with. But poor breeders don’t care about the health issues they’re placing on these dogs and bringing into the world.

She went into her foster home where she and they worked very hard to learn love and trust; to learn how to live in a home, to be a part of a family. She went to the vet. She went to the groomer. And she has truly opened up into the sweetest little munchkin. We are so thankful to her foster home for giving her the time and love she needed.

She will soon have her spay surgery, and then receive a much needed dental. But today, today she got to go to her forever. 

We are so grateful to her forever mom for choosing to open her home and heart to adopting an Angel in need. Her mom lost her sweet little Lilly dog not too terribly long ago and didn’t know if she could open her heart again, but we and Delaney are so thankful that she has. We know that they will love each other so very much and soon enough, will be inseparable. We know that Delaney will have the absolute best life and will have everything she could ever dream of. And we can’t thank her mom enough. We wish you both the absolute most love and joy this life can offer.

Happiest tails sweet baby, you are so loved! ❤️

Nigel - Adopted 1/8/2024

Nigel arrived at the Haven extremely underweight and honestly pretty sick. His bloodwork showed pretty significant anemia and some other abnormalities.

He was started on a refeed program, worked on some basic manners, and very slowly began his journey towards health. It took three full months to get him up to a weight he should be. When he arrived, he weighed 25 lbs. today, he weighs 47.

We are so thankful to his foster family for providing him the structure and time he needed to get healthy, the love he needed to become a dog we knew waited inside, and the patience for him to learn all he needed to learn to be ready for his forever.

We are so grateful to his new mom for choosing to open her home and heart and adopting a family in need. Nigel has her almost all to himself, but does share a kitty sibling who isn’t afraid to keep him in line if needed. We know he’s going to have an amazing life with his amazing person, and we wish them every joy that this life can bring them.

Happiest tails sweet boy, you are so very loved!

Ziggy - Adopted 1/6/2024

Ziggy put on his jacket, braved the cold weather and inches of snow and headed into our office today to adopt himself a family. He wasn’t letting anything get in his way.

Ziggy is the sweetest, friendliest big lug and we are so thankful to his foster family for giving him the opportunity to be loved, safe and cared for while we learned about his preferences, needs and he finished up all of his vet care. Without fosters, dogs like Ziggy and so many others don’t get the chance to find their forever homes.

We are so grateful to his new family for choosing to open their hearts and home to adopting an Angel in need. Ziggy has an amazing mom and dad, and a built in best friend in his new brother (well, he has to compete with his grandpa for bff status we were told ) but he is absolutely already beyond loved. We wish you all every bit of happiness, laughter, love and blessings that life can bring your way.

Happiest tails handsome! You are so loved!

Fergus - Adopted 1/1/2024

Fergus decided he was going to start a new year on a positive note and adopted some new pawrents today.

Fergus is around 12 weeks old and came to us in November. Shortly after he arrived, he was hospitalized for hemorrhagic gastroenteritis and was very sick. He healed up nicely and has slowly been having treats added to his diet—and he hasn’t complained once!

Fergus is a pup who is going to require a lot of love, patience and dedication and we’re so thankful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts to adopting this adorable, but ornery little Angel. He has lots of walks, some training and some potential doggy day care days in his future and we just know he’s going to be the bestest boy he can be.

We wish all of you a life full of love and every day filled with laughter and adventure.

Happy tails sweet boy. You are so very loved!
