Story
Miles is a great pup. We brought him home from the Scott County Pet Shelter in the fall of 2024 where he was kept after being found tied up and abandoned. He was a bit under weight and suffering from the loud and crowded conditions but doubled in weight quickly. He is eager to please and is food driven. He trains very well and adapts to routines quickly. He has basic commands like sit, down, stay, and come. He loves tug and fetch and is starting to catch a frisbee. He is well potty trained and we keep him home during the work days with no kennel required at all. He loves other dogs and people and is always looking for more attention and rubs. We want the best home for him and are struggling to provide for him. We have a kennel, beds and mats, toys, bowls, leashes etc and will be glad to give them to his new family. Thank you for reading!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Blu, a handsome 5(ish)-year-old boy with a heart of gold. This charming gentleman, previously known in his younger puppy days as 'Walnut', recently found himself back with us at the shelter after a difficult situation and serious altercation with his canine housemate. While this situation was instigated by the other dog (Lola) in the home, the difficult decision was made to return both dogs due to the concern of any further injury and for the safety of those living in the home. Blu's former family adored him, describing him as 'the best boy' with 'an old soul,' and it's clear he was a cherished member of their family. Now, Blu is looking for a patient and loving home where he can once again be the center of someone's world. Blu is a sensitive boy who appreciates a calm and predictable environment. He's also a bit sensitive to loud noises, but a little reassurance goes a long way. While he has been generally more comfortable with women, he will warm up to men with time, positive reinforcement, and a gentle approach. Blu is an incredibly loyal and loving companion. His former family raved about how much he loves to sunbath outside, go for walks and car rides, and how he knows just about any 'trick' in the book (sit, shake, lay down, spin, speak, and whisper).  Blu is sure to be a wonderful partner for someone who loves to spoil their pup with both affection and fun activities. They also mentioned that he is house trained and is trained to go to the door when he needed to go outside. If you're looking for a devoted and easy-going best friend who promises to fill your life with love, look no further than Blu. He's ready to be your loyal companion and the missing piece of your family. Please complete an adoption application for Blu if you're interested in meeting him - this application can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2025, 4:06 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Sugar - and her adorable ears and fantastic toothy grin! This sweetie has been with us FAR TOO LONG - she came to us in January 2023 as a local stray and after never being reclaimed, she was spayed, vaccinated and is all up-to-date waiting for her forever home. Sugar also had a health scare and emergency exploratory surgery during her first few weeks with us because she was vomiting after eating and couldn't seem to keep her food down.  The veterinarian found she was battling an infection in her abdomen - but luckily the surgery was a success and Sugar was on the road to recovery and waiting for her forever family!  Over the past year we did place Sugar on a daily medication (Apoquel) for allergies as she does seem to have red, itchy areas on her coat that flare up from time to time.  This medication is fairly costly (>$60/month) but it really seems to help keep her more comfortable, as well as being fed a kibble for sensitive skin.  Sugar may now be a little spoiled with all the attention from many Safe Haven volunteers over the past two years ..... she is a known favorite, but shhh.....don't tell the other pups! ;)   Sugar would do best in a home as an only pet, as she does not get along well with other dogs nor cats. Once you're able to meet Sugar - you will know, Sugar is the only pet you will need to fill your heart and she is a fantastic cuddlebug! Sugar is a very strong and active girl - always on the go!! She would love an active family with many long walks in her future - a fenced yard would be wonderful for this active girl as well! Strangers do seem to frighten Sugar and she has a pretty big bark at first to alert us that there is a new person there....but as soon as a new volunteer offers her a snack or treat - she is good to go! Interested in meeting or adopting Sugar? Please complete an online adoption application for her which can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application is submitted, a volunteer will be in contact with you shortly.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 10, 2025, 3:08 pm

Story
Olympia came in as a stray. She can be very skittish untilshe gets to know you. She did not like the vet looking at her ears or face. We do not think she would do bl well in a home with kids or other pets. We think she would do best as an only pet. Her adoption fee is free with an approved application.
