My story

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

Pelusa

Pelusa is stunning Shepherd mix who is as smart as she is beautiful, with a heart of gold waiting to shine in the right home. Pelusa has lots of energy and smarts that need proper outlets.

Pelusa has proven she can cohabitate beautifully with other dogs! While she may be a bit vocal when first meeting new canine friends, she settles quickly and then gets along wonderfully. Her foster family's resident dog can attest to what a great housemate she becomes once introductions are made.

The ideal home for Pelusa would offer:

An active lifestyle with plenty of exercise
Mental enrichment through training and play
A patient family committed to helping her overcome anxiety
ideally a home with no other dogs but we would be happy to help her adoptive home with teaching her to meet dogs appropriately

What Makes Pelusa Special?

Excellent manners- This well-behaved beauty knows how to be a proper house guest
Loyal and loving - Once she bonds with you, you'll have a devoted companion for life
Independent spirit- Perfect for families who appreciate a dog with her own personality
Play enthusiast- Absolutely loves balls and will happily play fetch for hours!

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.
