My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Woof-Facts:

Name: Grandma Trina

Breed: Staffie blend

Weight: 50 lbs

Age: 9

Gender: Female

Health: Spayed, UTD on vaccines.

Forever home recommendations:

So many options for her! She never met a stranger, she is quiet, loving, sweet, and gentle.

Kids: She's has been great with all ages.

Dogs: ok with dogs but a meet is required (probably best with medium-large dogs)

Cats: No

Crate trained: Yes, but can be left alone uncrated.

House trained: Yes

Leash manners: Great!

Personality: Trina is a great learner and listener. Loves car rides and snuggling. Not shy, knows a few basic commands, an easy going, sweet lady.

How did Trina find herself at Rescue Haven Foundation:

Grandma Trina arrived at a small local urban shelter with an orange sized tumor dangling from her foot. Her skin was rough and she looked very neglected. We learned she was adopted from another shelter 7 years prior but clearly they failed to keep their promise to give her a happy life. She since had her tumor removed and waiting for her perfect family, one who will treat her with nothing but love and kindness.

More about this rescue

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.
