My story

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

Benny 💛 He is 2yrs old and a rat terrier mix. He loves to lay in front of the heater in the morning. Benny gets along with his 3 foster mates, but enjoys more one on one attention when he can get it. He enjoys the outdoors when it's sunny and will stay out sunbathing any chance he gets. He is an explorer and will run if you don't keep him on a leash when he has wide open spaces. He is still learning how to walk properly on a leash and making good progress each day. He is doing well with his crate training during the day and does great sleeping through the night in it too!

Benny will make a great addition to your family. If you are interested in him 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.
