My story

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

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

Murphy came to us as a local stray - after never being reclaimed, he has found himself in search of his new forever home! It has been a joy to get to know Murphy. He is a sweet young boy - always in search of people... and attention, of course! He enjoys going for walks and being outdoors. Being a fairly young boy yet, any basic housetraining, obedience skills, etc. should be in store for his boy. We know he is already off to a great start as he has rarely had accidents indoors while being with us, and already knows basic commands like 'sit' and 'shake'. He is a smart boy!

Murphy has not been with us long enough to have any direct introductions to other dogs in our care, but he has shown to be non-reactive towards other dogs nearby. We think he may enjoy having a play buddy in his new home, he has lots of puppy-like energy to burn.

Murphy has been brought up-to-date on his vaccinations, has been microchipped, received monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives - so he is ready to begin his search for his new forever home!

If you're interested in meeting Murphy, please complete an online adoption application found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the appliation has been submitted, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to discuss the next steps of the meeting process.

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.
