My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

About Me:
Greetings, potential soulmate! I'm Haven, a mature and complex canine seeking a unique connection with a patient and understanding individual. My journey has been a bit bumpy, but I'm ready to find a forever home where I can thrive under the care of the right person.

Loyalty Beyond Measure:
When I form a bond, it's unbreakable. I've learned that the key to my happiness is a strong and genuine connection with one person who can appreciate my unique qualities. Once we establish trust, I promise to be by your side through thick and thin, offering a level of loyalty and devotion that only few can understand.

A Peculiar Past:
I'll be honest – my past hasn't been smooth sailing. I've had some challenging experiences that have led me to react defensively. But with the right guidance and a patient guardian, I'm confident that I can learn to better manage my emotions and respond positively to the world around me.

Special Requirements:
I thrive in an environment where I'm the only furry companion, as the presence of other animals tends to make me uneasy. I need a home with an individual who understands my boundaries and can provide the structure and guidance I need to feel safe and secure.

Commitment to Progress:
I'm a work in progress, and I believe that with the right person by my side, I can overcome my past challenges. I'm ready to embark on a journey of growth and transformation, and I'm seeking a guardian who's dedicated to helping me become the best version of myself.

Let's Connect:
If you're someone who believes in second chances and is looking for a unique and deeply meaningful companionship, I'm Haven. Contact my human friends at adoptions@angelsofassisi.org to learn more about me and arrange a meeting. Together, we can create a harmonious haven of love and understanding.

Additional adoption info

Find the pet for you at the Adoption Center:
Angels of Assisi’s adoption center is open from 12-6pm, 7 days a week. Adoption Specialists and Volunteer Ambassadors are eager to help you find the pet that would fit best in your family.

Adoptable Pets in Foster Homes:
Some of our available pets are currently in foster homes. If an animal is currently in a foster home, it is noted in the animal's biography online. To meet a pet in foster care, please fill out a non-binding adoption application, and the foster parent will contact you to schedule a meet and greet once the application has been approved (generally within 24 hours).

Found the perfect addition to your family? Now what?
The next step is to fill out an adoption application. You can complete and application online (preferred) or stop by the adoption center to fill out a paper application. Adopters must be 18 years of age or older. If you rent your home, we will need to contact your landlord or see a copy of your lease to verify the pet policy. Most applications can be approved within 24-48 hours.

Taking Your New Pet Home
After paying the adoption fee and pending the approval of your application, you may take your new pet home immediately. Adoption fees may vary and can be found on our website at:
