Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Juneau is a beautiful Husky/Malamute mix straight out of a storybook! At 2.5 years-old and 60 lbs, she gives off “magical snow queen” energy and is a total sweetheart once she knows you’re safe. She is quite the explorer but at her own pace—she’s the kind of dog who starts out observing from across the room… then slowly scoots closer… and before you know it, she’s chosen a spot near you (or on the couch) and giving little happy dances!
Juneau did not grow up in a home and needed time to learn what it meant to live safely indoors with people. Now, she understands household routines, knows “go outside,” and has settled with increasing confidence. She likes having choices between cozy resting spots, like her crate, dog beds, or a shady place nearby, always keeping her trusted human within sight. She only uses her crate when she chooses to retreat. She is also generally quiet except for a few moments of her alto husky singing voice.
She has had lots of fun living with adult dogs after decompressing, but she is not a good match for puppies or pushy playmates. She has very clear boundaries when playing, so all she needs is humans who understand her. Cats are still a question mark—she’s ignored calm cats before, but proper introductions would be necessary. With humans, she is gentle but needs people to go slow, so she cannot live with young children.
Her favorite things include peaceful walks, exploring new smells, rolling in the snow or digging outside, and lounging in shady, cozy spots. She loves lead and longline walks and jogs in nature and around the neighborhood. For toys, she loves squeaky balls, antlers, bully sticks, and occasionally likes a tennis ball, but no stuffy toys in case she ingests them. She thrives with exercise and can jump, so a secure 4-6 foot fence is required.
Juneau is tired of surviving and is ready to thrive, and she's looking for a patient and loving family to settle into. In return, you'll have the most beautiful and loyal friend in the world!

The adoption fee is $450. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Pet Haven is a foster-based rescue. Our animals live with foster families until they are placed in permanent homes and their foster families get to know the dogs and cats learning important information about the animals. For example, the foster family will know if the dog or cat is good with other animals or children, and will have a good idea of what kind of training, attention, and special needs the pet may require. This makes our foster families great resources for potential adopters!

Our Mission
Pet Haven improves the lives of pets and the people who love them by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats; reducing pet overpopulation by supporting spay and neuter efforts, and providing resources to people that help strengthen the human-animal bond.
Our Vision
A Minnesota where all pets live in safe, loving homes.
Our Values
Excellence in service and care; community; integrity; innovation; perseverance; compassion; a rewarding place to volunteer
How We Help
Spay/Neuter Initiative Program: Providing support to end pet overpopulation in Minnesota
Owner Surrender: Providing a safe haven for pet owners
Foster: Committed to finding forever homes for cats and dogs
Phoenix Fund for Special Needs: Providing veterinary care for animals in need of healing
What We Do
We help dogs and cats find homes with loving families through foster-based care. Every dog and cat lives with a foster family until they find their forever families. We provide all of their basic needs including proper food, veterinary care, behavior training, and supplies.
Through in-home fostering, we learn about each animal’s temperament, personality, likes/dislikes, and any medical needs. With this first-hand information, we can then find the right family for each dog and cat.
Our volunteers also educate the public on responsible companion animal care and represent respect for animals at all times. Whether we’re working with prospective new families, meeting people at public events, or socializing with friends and family, we encourage others to view and treat their pets as members of the family. We are their guardians, and they depend on us for companionship and care.
We spay/neuter prior to adoption.
We microchip all our Pet Haven Pets and remain as a secondary contact.
We make sure all pets are up to date on required vaccinations
We test for Heartworm and Lymes in all our dogs and are transparent in the results and treament
We test for FeLV/FIV and are transparent in the results. We believe that cats who test positive still deserve a chance at a quality home.
We do not euthanize animals unless they have untreatable health or behavioral conditions that deny them an acceptable quality of life or makes them a serious threat to people, other animals, or themselves.
How We Operate
We rely on adoption fees, tax-deductible donations, grants, and special events to keep our rescue operating. Our staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers have provided the passion and commitment to keep Pet Haven a safe haven for animals for almost 70 years.
We are committed to preventing pet homelessness through the SNIP Grant. Since 2005, we have granted more than $240,000 to organizations in Minnesota to support spay/neuter initiatives.
