My story

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

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

Meet Blu, a handsome 5(ish)-year-old boy with a heart of gold. This charming gentleman, previously known in his younger puppy days as 'Walnut', recently found himself back with us at the shelter after a difficult situation and serious altercation with his canine housemate. While this situation was instigated by the other dog (Lola) in the home, the difficult decision was made to return both dogs due to the concern of any further injury and for the safety of those living in the home. Blu's former family adored him, describing him as 'the best boy' with 'an old soul,' and it's clear he was a cherished member of their family. Now, Blu is looking for a patient and loving home where he can once again be the center of someone's world.

Blu is a sensitive boy who appreciates a calm and predictable environment. He's also a bit sensitive to loud noises, but a little reassurance goes a long way. While he has been generally more comfortable with women, he will warm up to men with time, positive reinforcement, and a gentle approach.

Blu is an incredibly loyal and loving companion. His former family raved about how much he loves to sunbath outside, go for walks and car rides, and how he knows just about any 'trick' in the book (sit, shake, lay down, spin, speak, and whisper).  Blu is sure to be a wonderful partner for someone who loves to spoil their pup with both affection and fun activities. They also mentioned that he is house trained and is trained to go to the door when he needed to go outside.

If you're looking for a devoted and easy-going best friend who promises to fill your life with love, look no further than Blu. He's ready to be your loyal companion and the missing piece of your family. Please complete an adoption application for Blu if you're interested in meeting him - this application can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com.

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.
