Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This 4-year-old, 25 lb Beagle is the sweetest cuddler! Papa Jean is the perfect size for snuggles on the couch and fits seamlessly into a laid-back household. Despite his timid nature, this little guy is blossoming into a loyal and affectionate companion who adores being near his people (and sometimes trying to take your slippers!).
Papa Jean is still recovering from his former life as a breeding mill dog, so he is learning how to live his best life in a family home environment. While he's still working on house training, he’s shown great potential with a consistent schedule and patient guidance. He’s not yet crate trained but has handled kennel situations well when needed, showing the he is adaptable and that his trust is growing. True to his Beagle roots, he can be a bit vocal when the mailman comes or when someone leaves, but his mild separation anxiety is manageable. He’s happiest when people are around but has done well when left alone for a few hours.
Though he’s a little shy around new dogs and kids, slow introductions help him feel at ease, and he’s proving to be a mellow and friendly pup. So far, he has has some success with the neighbor kids petting him while he's out for a walk, so he's warming up to others well. With cats, he’s a wonderful roommate—happy to coexist and occasionally play, though he mostly leaves them be.
Papa Jean’s favorite activities include taking luxurious naps on the couch, enjoying the occasional cheese treat, sometimes playing fetch alone—tossing his toys in the air and chasing them himself! If you're with him, he is also happy to play tug-of-war with his favorite cow toy. He’s a chill dog who doesn’t require hours of exercise, so just a walk or two with some backyard playtime has been working great. He loves to run in circles to tire himself out, and loves exploring the backyard.
This sweet boy’s past has made him cautious in new situations, but his gentle resilience shines through as he learns to trust. A quiet, patient home with loving humans will help him continue to grow into the confident, cuddly dog he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a low-energy, lovable pup who’s ready to be part of your family, Papa Jean is your guy!

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.
