Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Penny is a lovable 6-year-old Hound/Retriever mix with the sweetest face! At 90 pounds, she’s a large but gentle soul who enjoys staying close to her people, both indoors and out. Her sweet nature and adorable habit of "plopping" down for a nap next to you make her a perfect companion for a family looking for a loyal and mellow dog.
While Penny is a bit shy at first, she settled in at home nicely with some love and patience! She is great at signaling to her foster family when she needs to go outside, so she has never had an accident inside. Once she's warmed up to you, she'll act as your loyal guard dog when people come over, but will quickly calm down when given pets. The rest of the time, you can find her happily relaxing around the house without any issues. While she’s not a fan of crates, she’s proven she doesn’t need one.
Penny loves to make friends! This gentle girl is great with other dogs and is generally friendly and submissive. She runs and plays happily with her canine friends, though she may need a bit of guidance around high-value treats like bones. A resident dog may also be helpful for Penny to adjust into her new home (duck jerky helps too!). Penny also tolerates cats, including kittens, and peacefully coexists with her feline housemates. With her humans, a soft tone, gentle approach, and plenty of patience will help her adjust. She’s a little shy around men and may take a few days to feel comfortable. At the same time, Penny adores children and greets them with tail wags and kisses.
This sweetheart is very easy to please. Penny doesn’t need hours of exercise to be content -- a short walk is enough to keep her happy and healthy, making her ideal for a family looking for a low-energy companion. She doesn’t require a fenced yard and is more than happy to stick by your side, both indoors and out. Penny’s favorite things include jerky treats, cheese, and all the cuddles you’re willing to give.
If you’re looking for a loyal, mellow, and deeply affectionate dog who will stay by your side and fill your days with love, Penny is the perfect match!

The adoption fee is $450. 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.
