My story

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

Say hello to Harriette! This sweet girl’s main agenda in life is to beat her own sprinting record each time she gets to play in the yard! Harriet is a Labrador retriever mix and at 5 months old and 23lbs, she will be a sweet medium sized girl.

At a young age, Harriette has already shown herself to be very social. With both people and fellow dogs, she is always ready to meet, greet, and play until she’s beat! This sweet pup is in the thick of her teething stage, so younger children may find her overwhelming, even though she adores children. But, as with any puppy, consistent and positive training can teach her the proper boundaries when interacting with others. Harriette LOVES playing and will happily entertain herself for hours with her toys.

Potty training is progressing well for Harriette and she will be a master in no time. Because she’s a busy and happy little pup, she occasionally forgets to listen to those urges! To promote this training and help satisfy Harriette’s energy, a fenced backyard would be ideal. When Harriette is tuckered out from chasing the water hose all day, she has no complaints about sleeping in her crate. As long as Harriette continues to have a well balanced routine of consistent activity and quiet time, she is likely to be a good crate training candidate long-term. Since Harriette has not had a lot of experience being left alone, we have not yet determined if she is a good candidate for a home with shared walls.

Harriette is ready to meet her forever home! With consistent structure, lots of human company and activity, she will be sure to grow into the best companion someone could ask for. If you’re interested in learning more about Harriette and think she might be a good fit, fill out an application using the link below to learn more! Whoever becomes her family will feel lucky they did.

The adoption fee is $550. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%.
Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown.

Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Additional adoption info

Pet Haven is a foster-based rescue. Our animals live with foster families until they are placed in permanent homes and their foster families get to know the dogs and cats learning important information about the animals. For example, the foster family will know if the dog or cat is good with other animals or children, and will have a good idea of what kind of training, attention, and special needs the pet may require. This makes our foster families great resources for potential adopters!

More about this rescue

Our Mission
Pet Haven improves the lives of pets and the people who love them by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats; reducing pet overpopulation by supporting spay and neuter efforts, and providing resources to people that help strengthen the human-animal bond.

Our Vision
A Minnesota where all pets live in safe, loving homes.

Our Values
Excellence in service and care; community; integrity; innovation; perseverance; compassion; a rewarding place to volunteer

How We Help
Spay/Neuter Initiative Program: Providing support to end pet overpopulation in Minnesota
Owner Surrender: Providing a safe haven for pet owners
Foster: Committed to finding forever homes for cats and dogs
Phoenix Fund for Special Needs: Providing veterinary care for animals in need of healing
What We Do
We help dogs and cats find homes with loving families through foster-based care. Every dog and cat lives with a foster family until they find their forever families. We provide all of their basic needs including proper food, veterinary care, behavior training, and supplies.

Through in-home fostering, we learn about each animal’s temperament, personality, likes/dislikes, and any medical needs. With this first-hand information, we can then find the right family for each dog and cat.

Our volunteers also educate the public on responsible companion animal care and represent respect for animals at all times. Whether we’re working with prospective new families, meeting people at public events, or socializing with friends and family, we encourage others to view and treat their pets as members of the family. We are their guardians, and they depend on us for companionship and care.


We spay/neuter prior to adoption.
We microchip all our Pet Haven Pets and remain as a secondary contact.
We make sure all pets are up to date on required vaccinations
We test for Heartworm and Lymes in all our dogs and are transparent in the results and treament
We test for FeLV/FIV and are transparent in the results. We believe that cats who test positive still deserve a chance at a quality home.
We do not euthanize animals unless they have untreatable health or behavioral conditions that deny them an acceptable quality of life or makes them a serious threat to people, other animals, or themselves.
How We Operate
We rely on adoption fees, tax-deductible donations, grants, and special events to keep our rescue operating. Our staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers have provided the passion and commitment to keep Pet Haven a safe haven for animals for almost 70 years.

We are committed to preventing pet homelessness through the SNIP Grant. Since 2005, we have granted more than $240,000 to organizations in Minnesota to support spay/neuter initiatives.
