A Training Contract Fee of $75.00 is charged to ensure our medium and large breed dogs attend basic obedience training. The $75.00 fee is refunded upon successful completion of the training and a certificate of completion is provided to the Rescue
We require a pre-adoption application for us to review prior to approval of an adoption. Home inspections may be required. If you have a dog that is living in the home, we highly encourage a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in at the shelter. This is a good way to see how they interact in a controlled and neutral location. If you rent a home or apartment, we need verification from the landlord that you can have a pet there. This can be a phone call, email or show that you have paid a pet deposit.

About Valley Animal Haven
VALLEY ANIMAL HAVEN
A NON-PROFIT / NO-KILL ANIMAL SHELTER
Valley Animal Haven is the forty year old "Dream Come True" of our founder, Pam Brasil
Pam had a dream of one day having a shelter that would operate solely for the purpose of saving the lives of helpless and homeless animals. This dream was born when she saw a program about an animal shelter, in the Midwest, that had been destroyed by an arsonist who hated dogs. Pam's heart broke at such human cruelty. There were 80 beautiful dogs destroyed in that fire. She purposed that someday she would be able to provide a safe HAVEN for dogs and cats. That dream has become a reality with the opening of VALLEY ANIMAL HAVEN.
We work closely with other local rescue groups and shelters throughout the San Joaquin Valley to help re-home as many animals as possible. There are tens of thousands of beautiful animals waiting for help.
Please join us in our mission to provide these animals with the help that they so desperately need and deserve. Our hope is that, one day, no animal will have to suffer at the hands of abusive owners.

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.
