My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Doug came to Safe Haven as a stray found near I80, south of Ladora. He was never reclaimed - so he's found himself being loved on and cared for by our great team at Safe Haven until his forever home comes along!

Doug has a great personality - he is quick to charm, but truly has loved everyone he has met so far. He enjoys his outside time going on several walks a day and more importantly, he LOVES snuggling up for rest time (even better if his person(s) snuggle up with him!) Getting a routine that works for Doug will be an important first step in his new home. Since we don't have any further history for this gentleman, we know it will be important to have a routine established to help with housetraining, sleep training, and much more in his new home. Doug is a smart boy - so we think he would learn a routine fairly quickly with patience and proper rewarding.

Doug has not been with us long enough for any canine socialization within the shelter setting - as we get to know him more, we will update with any dog introduction happenings. If you're interested in meeting Doug and happen to already have a resident dog at home - we would ask for an initial meet & greet of the canines to take place to ensure proper introductions go well. These introductions can sometimes take several meetings before the dogs are comfortable or get a good 'feel' for one another and whether or not the placement will work out. Our goal is to help Doug find the best suited home possible - so please inquire about him soon! We don't think this goofy, sociable boy will last long!

Please complete an online adoption application as the first step of the meeting process. This application can be found on our wesbite at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application has been submitted, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to discuss the next steps.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

It is the policy of Safe Haven of Iowa County that all animals adopted from our facility will be spayed or neutered upon adoption, or the adopter will sign a spay/neuter agreement and follow up with veterinary records once the operation has been complete for puppies and kittens. We firmly believe that controlling the animal population is the only way to reduce the population of animals in rescue facilities such as ours and those shelters that do destroy animals for no reason other than overpopulation.

It is our policy that adoptions are conducted a minimum of 24 hours after your initial visit with the animal and submission of the adoption application. This allows us time to call your references, perform home inspection as well as giving you the opportunity to sleep on your decision and make sure it is what you really want.

Compare the adoption fees below with the routine animal health care and spay / neuter costs you would have to pay. Without the generous help of the local veterinarians we would never be able to include such services at this fee.

We have the right to refuse ANY adoption for ANY reason.

Dogs & Puppies: Adoption fees include spaying or neutering (if under 4 months a voucher is provided for surgery at one of our participating veterinarians), heartworm test, distemper, rabies, worming, ear cleaning, flea control if needed.

Fee: $200.00

Cats & Kittens: Adoption fees include spaying or neutering (if under 4 months a voucher is provided for surgery at one of our participating veterinarians), FeLv and FIV testing, distemper, rabies and worming, ear cleaning, and flea control if needed.

Fee: $50.00

All puppies and kittens adopted without spay/neuter completed will have a contract stating the animals will be altered by the time it is 6 months old. Follow up calls will be made to confirm completion of surgery.

More about this rescue

Our Mission
Safe Haven of Iowa County is a rescue organization whose mission is to rescue, protect, spay/neuter and find good homes for stray animals in Iowa County, Iowa. We strive to offer the best in traditional veterinary care with relationships built with local veternarians and, whenever possible, holistic health care for sick and injured animals in our care.
While sheltering homeless pets is vitally important, Safe Haven of Iowa County also understands that pet shelters are not a solution to the nations overpopulation problem. It is essential that we:

-Teach respect for living things

-Reinforce the bond between humans and animals

-advocate for and help provide assistance to large scale spay and nuetering programs

-Teach and model responsible pet ownership

These are all things that will help us in our effort to stop the needless killing of cats and dogs in our shelters and pounds.

We ask that our community understand that while we pamper and care for our pets they are all still missing the most important thing in their life...a loving home and family of thier own.
