My story

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

URGENT FOSTER/RESCUE NEEDED: Bonded Senior Dogs 

  • Chewy is a 10-year-old Lab and 
  • Brody is a 7-year-old Mastiff (?)mix (appears possibly younger)!
  • BOTH NEUTERED

Brody & Chewy - The Magically Delicious Duo! 

These two gentlemen are absolutely PERFECT and we can't get enough of their sweet souls! 

What makes them magically delicious?

  • They're professional nappers (seriously, they've mastered the art of the perfect snooze)
  • Siesta enthusiasts who know the value of a good afternoon cuddle 
  • Toy connoisseurs who still have that playful spark in their eyes
  •  Walking buddies who appreciate life's simple pleasures
  • Cuddle experts who will melt your heart instantly 

 

These distinguished older gents come with a few lumps and bumps (don't we all?), but their hearts are pure gold. They're acting like the perfect gentlemen they are - sweet, loving, and ready to bring joy to their forever family.

 

Brody and Chewy are currently in temporary foster and desperately need a forever home to avoid returning to shelter life. They deserve to spend their golden years being spoiled and loved!

 

Everything is covered - these boys just need someone to see past their senior status to the magical souls underneath. 

 What They Need:

  • A foster home or adopter that can keep them together
  • Must be located in Northern New Jersey
  • Have not been tested with small dogs or small animals. Prefer separation from other animals until they're better assessed, but they seem okay with dogs. 

 

These boys are loving, gentle souls who deserve a chance to heal and enjoy their senior years together. Can you open your heart and home to help them?

 

Please apply immediately if you can help!

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.
