More Info

Forever home recommendations: Minnie loves being with her humans and is tons of fun. She prefers not to be left alone for long periods of time so she’ll need a home that can accommodate that. She has a lot of energy so sometimes she needs to be reeled back in; therefore, it’s ideal that she inherently loves to learn and aims to please. Given this, she’ll do best with someone who will continue to provide her with training and consistency so she can continue to excel at learning While, simultaneously, her zest for life will be contagious to her human companion(s).
Kids: Friendly with all the people she’s met; a home with teenagers would be ideal due to her energy level
Dogs: Working on her manners when meeting new dogs, so if you have a dog in your home, a meet-and-greet would be required
Cats: No cats
Crate trained: Does OK in her crate for short increments while accompanied by her stuffed Kong treat
House trained: Yes
Leash manners: Learning proper behavior while on a leash
Personality: Sweet as pie, smart as a whip, tons of energy

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.
