Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Maynard is an almost 4-year-old Australian Cattle Dog who just loves everyone. Weighing about 50 pounds, he’s wonderfully social and genuinely loves meeting new people, greeting strangers like old friends who just haven’t gotten enough hugs yet.
He immediately settled into his foster home upon arrival, making himself comfortable and adapting to a new routine beautifully. Maynard is fully house-trained and will happily let you know when he needs to go potty. He is smart and curious and wants to be a part of whatever his humans are doing, so would prefer a family that could be home with him more frequently than not. However, he will settle well on his own if he needs to and a long lasting chew or frozen treat, coupled with a few of his favorite toys and he settles just fine. He will thrive with an owner/family who can give him the affection and closeness he craves. He is a world class kisser and never misses an opportunity to let you know that he loves you. In the evenings, he will happily settle on the couch with you for cuddles and tummy rubs while you watch your favorite programs on TV.
Maynard LOVES his walks more than just about anything, and two short walks a day are all he needs to stay happy. He is good on a leash and enjoys a leisurely pace so can stop and sniff the world as he pleases. He also has a hilarious independent streak and can fully entertain himself with strong chew toys, rolling on the couch, and playing solo games of catch. Balls and squeaky toys are his favorite to play with.
With other dogs, Maynard is curious and social. If he spots a dog across the street, he may pause and bark, but he’s friendly and interested rather than reactive. He has some experience with cats and has done well, so a slow introduction is recommended. He is great with all people including children. He licks everyone to death!
Maynard is such an easy-to-love dog and would love being part of a family. Are you ready for this cuddlebug?

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.
