Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gabbie is a delightful Patterdale Terrier mix, approximately 3 years old, with a sweet spirit and a huge heart. You may recognize her name, as she was originally adopted from us as a young puppy in March 2023. Sadly, due to a profound loss in her family and the necessity of moving, Gabbie has found herself back in our care. This resilient girl is now ready to put the past behind her and eager to begin her next chapter. Gabbie is an active and adventurous dog who absolutely loves being outside. If you enjoy hiking, backyard play, or simply spending time enjoying the fresh air, Gabbie would make the perfect adventure buddy! She is also a social butterfly, and her previous family reported that she can get along well with other canine companions. Given Gabbie's enthusiastic chewing habits, we would consider her a 'super chewer'. We suggest supervision while she is playing with toys (soft balls, rope toys, etc.) and bedding to prevent ingestion. We have been providing her with durable, safe alternatives, such as hard Nylabones, to help satisfy her desire to chew safely. This wonderful girl is completely ready to move right in: she is up to date on all her vaccinations, she is already spayed, and she is also microchipped for identification. Gabbie is an affectionate, loving girl just waiting for her forever home! Can you be the kind heart that offers this deserving girl the second chance she is waiting for? Apply to meet Gabbie by completing an online adoption application found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application has been submitted, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to discuss the next steps of setting up a meet & greet. In case you're curious to read about Gabbie as a young puppy, below is a little more information about how this sweet gal came into our care initially: Gabbie and her three adorable sister littermates came to Safe Haven after another local animal shelter reached out asking for help with a local request of an accidental litter. The total litter of 8 puppies was a lot to take on all at once, so Safe Haven was able to help them out by taking in four of the eight puppies. These gals were about 8 weeks old. Their mother was a Patterdale Terrier about 20lbs. Their father was a Husky/Heeler/Patterdale Mix about 40lbs.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 4, 2025, 5:00 pm

Story
Meet Waylon, a 10-year-old wire-haired Jack Russell Terrier who definitely hasn't read the rule book on aging! Despite his age, Waylon is packed with the energy and playful spirit of a much younger dog, ready to bring joy and excitement to his forever home. 🐾 About Waylon: Age: 10 years old (but acts like a 2-year-old!) Breed: Wire-Haired Jack Russell Terrier Energy Level: High—still has that puppy zip and loves adventure. Personality: Feisty, curious, affectionate when he wants to be, and always up for fun. ❤️ Waylon's Favorites: Belly Scratches: He melts for a good belly rub session. Toys, Toys, Toys: Playtime is his favorite time of the day. The Great Outdoors: He adores being outside, especially near water. Sniffari Adventures: Exploring and sniffing out every new scent in his environment is pure bliss for him. 🏡 Ideal Home & Training Needs: Waylon is a work in progress and needs a patient and understanding family committed to helping him thrive. House Manners: Waylon is not currently housetrained and struggles with traditional house manners. He needs a dedicated owner willing to work on consistent training routines and possibly manage an indoor space where accidents are okay while he learns. Companions: He is dog-selective and prefers to be the star of the show. No cats or small animals, please. He might do best as the only dog or in a home with another calm, well-matched canine companion after a careful introduction. Environment: A secure yard where he can safely explore, sniff, and enjoy the water would be a huge plus. ✨ Why Adopt Waylon? If you’re looking for an active, engaging companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your life with laughter, Waylon is your guy. He promises endless entertainment during playtime and deep affection during cuddle time. He’s looking for a committed home that sees past his current training needs and recognizes the vibrant, loving dog underneath. Ready to give this energetic senior the second chance he deserves? Contact us today to learn more about adopting Waylon!
