Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Floke, the sweetest of pups! This beautiful boy is about 18-months old, coming in at 54 pounds of cuddlebug.
Floke is house trained (no accidents since coming to rescue!), crate trained (did great in his kennel even at night, but now happily sleeps at the foot of his foster’s bed), and great with kids! He’s a very good boy.
Floke absolutely loves to give hugs. He’s tall but gentle and will jump up to hug you with both paws nuzzling his way between your arm or leg to get optimal closeness. He’s a big fan of PB kongs/treats, snuggles, and running around being his cute self. He also loves sleeping on the floor at the foot of his humans’ bed, fitting for his Indigenous name meaning “guardian of the people”.
Floke may be a bit shy and timid as he gets to know new people and his surroundings, but he is full of love and ready to share it with his forever family. He can’t wait to find them!
Floke recently came into care having been heavily quilled by a porcupine, causing sores around his head and body, but is already looking his best as he's been healing nicely and doesn't need any additional care. His a healthy boy!
Once Floke gains your trust he wants to be your best friend. When he settles into his home and trusts his people, he’ll show you his playful side. He’s a fan of running, prancing and the occasional zoomies. He’s showing more playful energy and building his confidence so will need a home that ensures he gets the exercise every young pup needs!
A daily walk or two would be great, but Floke would especially LOVE a fenced yard or other space to run in. He’s not big on toys so regular exercise is a must (e.g., hikes, walks, bike rides, you get the idea). When this boy is feeling playful he’ll let you know and sing his own song, there may be some husky in him with those gorgeous eyes! When he’s tired out, he’ll be sure to snuggle on your lap, he makes an excellent lap dog despite his size!
Floke does well with other dogs, just runs slightly timid when first saying hello to new canine friends. He is submissive and will follow their lead. A confident dog may be a great playful companion should it be a good fit. He has had great experiences with cats, teenagers and younger kids he’s met as well (5-8)!
Coming from a less urban environment, Leech Lake, Floke excels most in quiet spaces, he is particularly happy running around especially in wooded areas. He likes walks but can get nervous on sidewalks near lots of cars and heavy foot traffic due to lack of exposure. He benefits from extra reassurance and a slow pace, he'd do exceptionally well in a quieter neighborhood.
Due to Floke’s playful vocalization and when you leave its suggested he find in a home without shared walls so he can show off his playful self. He prefers to have his people around more often than not, as you will become part of his pack.
Floke is the embodiment of love looking for love in return. With a family that understands all Floke needs a bit of patience and positive reinforcement, he will further blossom into the already amazing family dog he’s shown to be. He’s ready to continue growing and can’t wait to become the best canine family adventure companion he’s meant to be!

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.

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!

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.
