Nana's Haven - Vancouver

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 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.

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.

Please know that our dogs that are coming from South Korea will have a higher adoption fee than those that are being adopted locally. This is because the fee goes towards paying back the costs for bringing them to Canada. The adoption fee for these dogs is typically between $800 - $1500.
