We are a small rescue that started in January 2013 after years of working for different rescues and decided to join forces to start our own rescue/foster program. With over 20 years of combined experience with animals (rescue, training, advocacy), we learned that many dogs are not properly matched up with the right families. We realize that no one is at fault here since the overpopulation of homeless pets is staggering and animal advocates what to spare these precious dogs lives by finding homes as opposed to being euthanized. We decided that we would do our small part and keep our rescue small so we can focus on getting to know the personality of each dog in our foster program, doing proper evaluations and temperament testing, putting each dog through any type of training services they may need, and completing a thorough screening for all applicants which includes a mandatory home visit all BEFORE the dog gets matched up with a compatible family. Our mission statements says: Rescue Haven Foundation is to help dogs at risk by providing foster homes that will nurture their physical and emotional health, help locate the ideal forever homes for them while providing support and training to help assure that their stay in their new homes is permanent. In addition we focus on developing programs to promote pet adoption services and raise public awareness of the issues surrounding animal rescue.

We adopt our our dogs within the tri-state area. Our dogs come into our rescue via local municipal pounds, owner surrenders, strays, and kill shelters in the tri-state area or southern states that we have an established relationship with.
All of our dogs are in foster care and remain their until the right home is found. Our program was designed by dog trainers who assist and guide all foster families with training tools and techniques they can use to help their foster dogs become more adoptable and our training services are provided to our adopters as well throughout the life of the pet at no or low cost.
