My story

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

Momma MJ💜 is back at Hopes Haven. She was rescued by us about two years ago and came in with a litter of puppies. All puppies were adopted and after quite a few months MJ was finally adopted. Her new family now has had her for about a year and a half unfortunately they have to move and felt the move would be too stressful for her. So unfortunately mama MJ is looking for a home again. She’s a three-year-old Cattle dog/Basenji mix. She’s a happy energetic girl. Needs an active home and someone she can depend on. She’s nervous at first of new situations but comes around and is ready for fun. She’s good with other dogs and kids, cats unknown. If you can finally give MJ the home she deserves please apply at www.hopeshavenfriends.org.

More about this rescue

Hopes Haven began as a dream. A televised news story about a case of obscene animal abuse broke our hearts. Video from the scene taken after authorities seized possession of the animals revealed several deceased and emaciated dogs. Of the dogs still alive, only two were determined to have any chance of survival. Marsha called the humane society where the dogs had been taken and asked if a terribly emaciated Doberman that was on the newscast could be held for her to adopt if she survived. The care givers at the shelter named the Doberman Hope. Hope's life had been one of being chained inside of a barn and forced to have litter after litter of puppies, all while rarely seeing the light of day. Although Hope never did fully recover, she did indeed survive and lived with us for almost thirteen months before she died. Hopes Haven is a tribute to her and to all innocent dogs that have had their trust betrayed by unworthy guardians.

We give hope to those that have no place else to go. The old, infirm, and ill will always have a place to go as long as Hopes Haven exists.

We also specialize in northern breed rescue such as Huskies and Malamutes.
