Story
Hi there! I adopted Puddle in 2021 from a shelter in rural Louisiana. She quickly became one of the greatest joys of my life. However, because of her breed makeup (Great Pyrenees and Poodle), it became evident that she's not really meant to live the consolidated, apartment life that I can currently provide. I believe she'd be much happier with more space to roam and more autonomy, whether that's on a protected farm in the country or a large, enclosed backyard in town. She is an incredible adventure buddy with seemingly endless energy, but she also is obsessed with snuggling and loves spending time with her people. She is truly an incredible creature, and I know there is a better situation waiting for her around the corner.

Story
Sally is a six-month-old black Lab mix with the boundless energy of a spring-loaded slinky and the heart of a professional snuggler. She’s a pro at turning any moment into playtime—especially if there’s a ball involved. Her favorite hobby is playing catch, and she approaches each throw with Olympic-level enthusiasm, ears flapping, paws skittering, and tail wagging like a metronome set to “joy.”Like any puppy, Sally is still learning and growing, but what truly shines is her sweetness and smarts. She’s the kind of dog who makes every day lighter, brighter, and a whole lot more fun—and she’s always ready to share cuddles after playtime.ADOPTION PACKAGEThank you for your interest in adopting your next pet from The Haven.

Story
Jazzy is a tan and white boxer mix puppy with a bold spirit and a contagious sense of fun. With her soulful eyes, bouncy gait, and ears that perk up at every sound, she brings a vibrant energy wherever she goes. She’s the kind of pup who’s always in motion—chasing toys, exploring every corner of the yard, or trying to make friends with anything that moves. Jazzy has a natural rhythm to her playfulness and a fierce loyalty to her people, often curling up next to them after a long day of adventures. She’s equal parts mischief and heart, always keeping you on your toes and laughing at her antics.Named after the unforgettable Jazz from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Jazzy carries that same cool confidence and unapologetic flair. Just like her namesake, she’s full of personality—unpredictable, hilarious, and totally lovable. She’s got a knack for showing up at just the right moment, often with muddy paws and a look that says, “What’d I miss?” Whether she’s getting into playful trouble or striking a pose with her signature head tilt, Jazzy is the ultimate scene-stealer. She may be small now, but she’s already got the attitude and presence of a true star.ADOPTION PACKAGEThank you for your interest in adopting your next pet from The Haven.
