My story

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

When we got Tempeh he had a worm belly so big our vet was worried he had fluid on his stomach, but nope, just worms.

His skin was a patchy, scabby mess from being riddled with fleas, but it just took a little TLC and in no time Tempeh was feeling great.

Where his sister Tofu is small, sassy and brave, Tempeh is large, shy and gentle. Tempeh was very unsure of the world initially, but he has gotten so much braver, and foster mom said he is even finding his bark when his foster cat friends aren’t paying him any attention.

Tempeh wants to be right where his friends are, whether that’s playing with a fellow pup or following his person around. He follows and is so attentive we joke he has almost accidentally taught himself to heel! Tempeh grumbles and coos at you with little gentle gremlin noises to say “hello! Hi!” When he sees you and he is also an expert at showing off his perfect and patient sit for treats.

Tempeh is around five months old and 29lbs. He is dog and cat friendly, doing great in his crate training, and otherwise learning all the puppy things! To adopt Tempeh, well you know what to do! Contact us

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

When you adopt a dog from Swamp Haven, you’re not just saving a life. You’re beginning a journey filled with love, loyalty and trust. Life can be busy and stressful. The companionship of a dog is a constant reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things. At Swamp Haven, our mission isn’t to just help down-on-their-luck dogs find their forever homes. Our mission is to create a lasting relationship with you and your family.
Adopt happiness. Our adoption process is unique in that we work with you every step of the way to ensure that we’re placing the right dog with the right family. First, chat with us about what you’re looking for in a dog and we will set up a time for you to meet the lucky pup. From there, fill out an application. Once reviewed we set up a time to bring your potential pup to your house for a home visit and trial week. We want to make sure it’s the right fit for both your family and the dog involved. We will be totally available during the trial week for any questions or concerns. The last step is to finalize the adoption. And then congrats, you’re a new member of the Swamp Haven family and your happy tail has just begun!

Our adoption fee is $350

More about this rescue

Swamp Haven is an animal rescue organization that takes down-on-their-luck dogs and nurtures them back to a healthy mental and physical state, so they can find their forever home. Our goal is simple. We save innocent dogs that have been overlooked by society and provide short-term care including vetting (vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip and heartworm and flea prevention) and training to learn how to walk politely on a leash, play in a pack and live calmly and lovingly in their new home.
