My story

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

Quote from foster family

Chyna is always on the lookout for cuddles and a snuggle buddy, her face will melt your heart and will always be by your side giving endless kisses in exchange for belly rubs.

Woof-Facts

Name: Chyna

Breed: mixed breed

Weight: 69 lbs

Age: 8

Gender: Female

Health: good

Forever home recommendations: She would do best in a home with someone who can give her plenty of love and attention, an environment where she can run or go on leisurely walks to help keep her fit and healthy! To say she has been a dream is an understatement. So, if you’re looking for a loyal companion who will cherish every moment with you Chyna is your girl

Kids: maybe older since she doesn’t know how big her personality is  

Dogs: No, needs to be only dog

Cats: No, she like to be the center of attention

Crate trained: No but sleeps nicely in her bed all night with no issues. Doesn’t cause a mess when left alone

House trained: Yes

Leash manners: Yes- Loves walks

Personality: Velcro love bug, she loves chew toys, playing fetch, car rides, running around the yard but would trade it all the second you’re on the couch to lay next to you

How did Chyna find herself at Rescue Haven Foundation: Chyna found herself at Yonkers animal shelter after being surrendered twice due to financial issues and having to move.

More about this rescue

We are a small rescue that started in January 2013 after years of working for different rescues and decided to join forces to start our own rescue/foster program. With over 20 years of combined experience with animals (rescue, training, advocacy), we learned that many dogs are not properly matched up with the right families. We realize that no one is at fault here since the overpopulation of homeless pets is staggering and animal advocates what to spare these precious dogs lives by finding homes as opposed to being euthanized. We decided that we would do our small part and keep our rescue small so we can focus on getting to know the personality of each dog in our foster program, doing proper evaluations and temperament testing, putting each dog through any type of training services they may need, and completing a thorough screening for all applicants which includes a mandatory home visit all BEFORE the dog gets matched up with a compatible family. Our mission statements says: Rescue Haven Foundation is to help dogs at risk by providing foster homes that will nurture their physical and emotional health, help locate the ideal forever homes for them while providing support and training to help assure that their stay in their new homes is permanent. In addition we focus on developing programs to promote pet adoption services and raise public awareness of the issues surrounding animal rescue.
