About Rissa's Haven

Rissa's Haven was founded after I rescued a little pitbull who had been used as a bait dog. She was just a baby and only lived to be 2 years old but the time she was in our lives we will always be grateful for. We have a passion for the bully breeds and as you will see most of our adoptable dogs are bullies. Our other passion is senior dogs who tend to have a hard time finding homes due to their age. If you are looking to adopt a new pet please consider a Pitty or a senior dog!
We work daily to educate people on the misconception of the Pitbull breed. They are extremely loving, loyal dogs who have been given a very unfair wrap. We strive to adopt to people who want to help end this stigma and show the world what that it bad owners are to blame not the breed!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
