Additional adoption info
We love the fact that you are interested in adoption! Through one of our dog's adoption, you are changing their entire life by giving them their forever home and now allowing us to make room for another rescue to come under our care!
Our dogs have been let down by humans and it is our mission to ensure we provide the best possible future for them; to rehabilitate them and allow them to experience their own safe haven in the form of their forever homes. For this reason, our adoption process is focused entirely on finding the most perfect home for them, more than it is focused on finding ‘the perfect pet’ for you. Please be mindful of this when adopting.

About Nana's Haven - New York
We are a donation-based, non-profit, no-kill international rescue brought together by Nana, our meat trade survivor and cancer warrior. Nana’s Haven was created in Nana’s memory by a passionate and dedicated global community of people fighting for innocent and abused animals.
Our dogs currently can be adopted to the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe, including the United Kingdom. We partner with both international and local rescues focusing on savings dogs from the meat trade in Asia, high-kill shelters, and the streets.
Almost all of the dogs have been extremely abused, and we make it our mission to show them love and rebuild their trust and confidence. We save dogs from the meat trade, breeding farms, puppy mills, and shelters.

Our babies require 100% dedication. Time, unconditional love, and patience is paramount for their recovery. Please only apply if you feel that you agree with our mission and if you and your entire family are on board and committed to providing these babies with what is required.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
