Dog & Puppy Foster Homes needed for 12/14!

Will you please help make these dogs Holidays Merry and Bright?

Adorable, sweet, and fluffy pups seek hero to save us from spending the holidays out in the cold! In a perfect world, seeking a lifelong partner but willing to take a temporary arrangement for warm snuggles and cute tricks!

This is Safe Haven’s last transport of 2019! We are looking to get these dogs out of the shelter and into foster homes starting 12/14. Please don’t let these guys spend the Christmas in the shelter!

WILL YOU HELP? Safe Haven would like to bring these dogs to safety! We are an all foster based rescue so we rely on generous people like yourself to open your home to a deserving dog while we search for their forever family.

Find out what's happening in Oswegofor free with the latest updates from Patch.

Falula – This terrier mix is 37lbs and about 1 year old. She very quiet at the shelter. She observes what's going on around and likes to interact with people. Falula likes to listen with her big ears. This beautiful girl is heart worm positive. She'll need treatment, which Safe Haven will provide.

Ginger - Ginger is the mom of 8 adorable puppies! She's taken such good care of them and they all have foster. We CANNOT leave mom behind! She's lived in a house with other dogs and was great with them. She's only about 40lbs and has a fantastic temperament.

Cera – This three year old Dutch shepherd mix can’t wait to move out of the shelter! This sweetheart gets along with other dogs and people too. She’s sweet and friendly! Can you foster her while we look for her forever family?

Luez – This boxer mix is 1 year old and 50lbs. She enjoys playing with other dogs and is a fairly calm dog overall. She will make a great family dog! Luez is heartworm NEGATIVE!

Petra – This boxer mix is 2 years old and about 45lbs. Someone cropped this poor girl ears off, but that hasn’t broken her spirit! She’s fun and friendly and always wiggling her butt. Gets along with other dogs! Petra is heartworm NEGATIVE!

Gus – 7 month old and 40lbs. Gus is a black and tan dog that might be a hound/ shepherd mix. He’s fun and friendly and a typical puppy. He’s not a fan of the shelter! He’s much more interested in hanging out with a family

Morgan - is a terrier mix puppy that will be 8 weeks old on 12/14. He's
sweet, smart, and playful! He's love to curl up on the couch with you and watch Christmas movies!

Oreo – This sweet 1 year old boy is about 40lbs. He was found alone on the streets in TN. He’s shy and nervous at the shelter but volunteers believe he’ll come out of his shell once he’s safe in a home. Sadly, Oreo is heart worm positive and will need a home for two months while Safe
Haven provides him treatment.

Maston - is a 6 month old mix. He's about 37lbs and very sweet. The shelter says he's very energetic, smart, and food motivated. This guy is a total love bug! Wouldn't he look cute curled up next to your Christmas Tree?

Diamond - this 6 year old pit mix weighs 55lbs. She LOVES people. Her dream day includes a day of sun bathing and then curling up with her people for a long nap. She loves walks. Diamond doesn't want to share attention and must be the only dog in the home.

Abby - this sweet lab mix is a very sweet girl. She’s a little shy at first meeting but warms up. Abby would really like to get out of the shelter! Abby is 42lbs

Holly – Have a Holly Jolly Christmas – she’s the best dog of the year! Holly is a 1 year old, 30lb spaniel mix. She loves all people and dogs that she meets! Holly has a good amount of energy and would do best in a home with another dog to play with or yard to run in. Let us know if you can foster this girl in time for Christmas!

Meet the P Puppies: Prince, Pogo, Pluto, Peanut (males) and Pippy & Petunia (females) These six were being given away in a Walmart parking lot in rural TN. Thankfully someone from the shelter was alerted and was able to get these before they were given away. They were given shots and are now being cared for. However, the foster homes are full down there and these guys are at the shelter. These guys weigh between 2.5-and 5lbs. They must be fostered in pairs. They’ll be about 7.5 weeks old at the time of transport.

Safe Haven provides you with everything you need while you foster. You also have the first option to adopt the dog in your care. Fostering is a great way to see if a dog fits in with your family!

Please don't delay. We have until 12pm on Thursday to have committed fosters and SAVE these dogs. They can only come THIS SATURDAY 12/14 if we have committed fosters!
