Paisley-Only $65 adoption fee!'s Story...
This sweetheart was saved off the euthanasia list at one of the kill shelters. She is purebred Australian Cattle Dog (also known as a Blue Heeler or Queensland Heeler) This wonderful girl is smart, loving & can be quite goofy! She does what I call "ballerina twirls". :-) When she gets really excited & playful, she spins around in circles. To funny! Hopefully we will get a video of it to post! She is super loving and loyal, & usually picks out one person in the family as her favorite. Paisley loves to cuddle, loves balls, & playing fetch. She's smart & already knows Down, Sit, & Stay. She is an active, working breed & would do great with someone who could take her on daily walks for at least 30 minutes a day. All this sweet girl wants is a family who will love her, & be as loyal to her, as she is to you!

ADOPTING A CAT OR DOG IS UP TO A 20 YEAR COMMITMENT! THEY ARE NOT OBJECTS THAT YOU CAN GET RID OF WHEN THEY BECOME INCONVENIENT. THEY ARE INNOCENT LIVING, BREATHING ANIMALS WITH FEELINGS THAT DEPEND ON YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE CARE OF, LOVE, & PAY FOR EVERYTHING THIS PET NEEDS FOR UP TO 20 YEARS, THEN PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN APPLICATION.

* Safe Haven STRONGLY believes that collars should only be used as decoration. A dog can slip out of collar. Which becomes a problem if your dog gets lost, or you are trying to restrain your dog, & it comes off. Also, attaching a leash to a collar puts pressure on the neck, which is one of the most sensitive areas of the body, & could hurt them. For these reasons, Safe Haven includes a harness with every dog adoption to ensure the safety of the dog, as a harness is more expensive than a collar & some adopters will not buy them for this reason. A harness distributes the weight on the chest & shoulders. It also has a handle on the back that you can grab if need be, without hurting your pet (EX: Dog falls off your boat, just grab the handle & pull your pet back in with no harm done. With a collar, you would have to strangle your dog when pulling your dog in). Also a dog cannot slip out of a harness, so it is much easier to restrain them & they will never loose their ID if they get lost.
If you need harnesses for your other dogs, additional harnesses can be purchased for a reduced price:
$5 for small
$6 for medium
$7 for large
No tax is charged as we are a non-profit
