Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Penny, a charming and playful Pointer mix eagerly awaiting her forever home! Penny is a sweet girl who just needs a little time to warm up. When meeting new people, she might bark excitedly at first, but she quickly settles down and shows her true, happy self. Penny’s Pointer heritage shines through when she’s exploring – watch her strike an adorable pointer pose every time she catches a new scent! She’s a smart cookie too, clearly letting you know when nature calls by heading to the door. If you don't let her out right away, a gentle pace and whine are her polite reminders. This chill girl isn’t picky; she loves her meals and isn’t fussy about treats. She’s currently taking an over-the-counter supplement for digestion, which helps keep her feeling great. At night, Penny is a perfect kennel sleeper. She rests soundly with the door secured, and in the morning, she greets you with boundless joy and a playful spirit. Penny thrives on connection. Though she might offer a small growl initially as she adjusts to new faces, she warms up quickly. Give her a moment, and soon she’ll be nudging you for pets and snuggling close. She’s a loyal companion who will happily follow you from room to room, always mindful not to be underfoot. When playtime is over, Penny knows how to relax, often retreating to her kennel for a peaceful nap. While some loud noises can startle her, Penny is a remarkably calm dog overall. But when she’s truly happy, her tail wags non-stop as she joyfully plays with her toys! Penny needs a patient and loving family who understands that good things take a little time. Once she’s comfortable, you’ll have a devoted, fun-loving, and calm companion. Adopt Penny and let her point her way into your heart! Penny Marie is from an owner surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

Story
Stewie and Harry are a bonded senior duo looking for their forever home together. At 13 years old, these Rat Terrier/Shih Tzu mixes still have plenty of energy and love for their humans! Stewie, around 15 pounds, is the more people-focused of the two, sometimes smiling, begging for attention, or even jumping up when he’s overly excited to see his favorite human. Harry, about 23 pounds, is more independent but just as loving in his own way, often expressing himself with little grunts and snores.Both boys are house-trained and will let you know when it’s time to go out, whether by heading to the door or sitting up on their back legs as if to beg. They do not like being crated, but that's okay because they can be trusted free roaming. Due to some separation anxiety, they are much happier when someone is home with them and will need a home without shared walls (no apartments/townhomes).They adore their daily walks and have made great progress on leash — now happily going out 4–6 times a day for short strolls of 10–20 minutes. Walks are their favorite activity, keeping them young at heart and giving Harry the chance to show off his love for squirrels, ducks, and rabbits. Inside, however, they are mostly couch potatoes, with Stewie often curling up close to his person and Harry preferring his own spot to snooze.Stewie and Harry are good with other dogs and have done well around cats. They enjoy kids but, being seniors, would do best with older children who can respect their space.Though they may be opposites in many ways, they couldn't love each other more. If you’re looking for two sweet, silly, and loyal companions to share your life and daily walks with, Harry and Stewie are ready for you!If you are interested in these dogs, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/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.

Story
Lucy was surrendered from her family because hospice came and the family could no longer care for her. Lucy is a very affectionate little girl that loves to snuggle under the covers with you at night. She loves to walk on a leash and go for car rides. During her vetting, she was found to be heartworm positive. She has completed all vetting and had her heartworm treatment. She is looking for a family to call her own. She does have an underbite, but otherwise very healthy now. Will you be that family to give her a new life in the new year? She is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Story
Jack was born in rescue after his mother was surrendered when owner passed away. He and his sister were the only surviving pups. The mother rejected them at 2 weeks, and they were bottle fed until able to eat puppy food. Jack is a good and smart little boy. He has mastered pee pad training and will start learning house training very soon. We do not allow puppies to touch ground until they have received multiple distemper parvo vaccinations. His siter is with a foster to adopt and now it's Jack's turn to find his family. Look into those eyes and tell me he isn't the most handsome little guy. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions and email us for the link to the adoption application
