My story

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

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

Zelle is a stunning, approximately one-year-old German Shorthair Pointer blend (according to her previous owner) who is actively searching for a place to call her own. She is an incredibly smart and motivated girl with a keen desire to learn and engage. She already knows a few basic manners like 'sit' and 'lay down' and is enthusiastic about mastering many more tricks, making her an exciting partner for anyone interested in positive reinforcement training!

This energetic girl absolutely loves going for walks and thrives on physical and mental stimulation. She would be a fantastic, devoted companion for an active individual or family who enjoys spending time outdoors and can provide her with plenty of opportunities for exercise and adventure.

Zelle came into our care because she was not compatible with the other female dogs in her previous home. To ensure she can be the happiest, most relaxed version of herself, her previous family thought she would do best in an only-pet home. She has also shown us pretty quickly at Safe Haven that cats and Zelle definitely would not be ideal.  She deserves to be the queen of the castle and receive all the attention and focus from her human family, which we know will allow her loving and clever personality to truly shine!

The great news is that Zelle is fully prepared to jump right into her new life! She is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations, she was previously spayed, and has been microchipped. So if you are looking for a loyal, active, and clever girl ready for adventure, Zelle is waiting for you! 

Please complete an online adoption application for Zelle if you're interested in meeting her. These applications can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once your application has been submitted, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to discuss the next steps of the meet & greet 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.
