Pet Haven Rescue

Additional adoption info

*Local Residency - with identification showing your PHYSICAL and present address.

*Fenced-in Yards for Dog Adoptions - Anyone adopting a dog must have an adequately fenced in yard. Short dog-short fence... tall dog-tall fence! There must be direct access from the residence into the yard or kennel (pen)

*Animals May Not Be Adopted As Gifts - The animal MUST be chosen and adopted by the person/family who will be responsible for it. We do, however, have GIFT CERTIFICATES!

*We Discourage the Adoption of Kittens and Small-Boned Puppies under 12 Weeks of Age to Families with Children under 5 Years of Age - Infant animals are very fragile and can be injured, even through the best of intentions.

*Cats Will Not Be Adopted as "Mousers" or "Barn" Cats - We STRONGLY believe that a cat is only truly safe when kept indoors as a COMPANION animal.

*Dogs Will Not Be Adopted As "Guard" or "Attack" Dogs - We place dogs as companion animals ONLY.

*Pet Haven Rescue believes that dogs should be accepted in your home as an extension of the family. If you want to adopt a dog that will spend most of its time outside, we ask that you look for an animal that is at least 1 year old and can acclimate to weather changes. All dogs left outside for any period of time require direct access to shelter - dog house, dog door into garage,somewhere out of the hot summer heat, etc.


We reserve the right to refuse placement of our pets to any individual who does not meet our criteria. We also reserve the right to keep our reasons for refusal confidential within our organization. The welfare of our rescue animals is our top priority.
