Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This 7-year-old, 13 pound Maltese Poodle mix is a little peanut with a big personality! With his curly coat and love of attention, Auger brings charm and playfulness to any home. He thrives on being around his people and is happiest when he’s the center of attention.
Auger is quick to make himself at home! While he's a little shy at first, he adjusts quickly to new environments and loves to be part of the action. Auger’s favorite activities include playing fetch, going for walks, and taking cozy naps on the couch. He also loves being dressed up in sweaters, looking absolutely adorable while doing so. Auger will do best in homes with a fenced yard for some outdoor fun and to burn off his bursts of energy, but regular walks or a long leash in the yard would be fine as well. He enjoys a good walk but doesn’t need a long distance, so he's happy to relax with a good nap on the couch shortly after.
When making friends, he's had great experiences with kids and other dogs! Auger loves meeting other dogs and eagerly says hello to every pup he encounters. While he hasn’t been tested with cats, his foster family has no concerns so far so a supervised introduction could go a long way to make him comfortable.
While Auger is house-trained, he may need a little patience from his future family to help him along. He recently lost his previous owner, and his behavior has changed a little since then. He got a new habit of marking indoors, which may improve now that he’s been neutered. He gets a little anxious when left alone and does not like being confined, so he has not made progress on crate training. His foster family believes that having another confident dog in the home, leaving the TV on, and using calming supplements have helped him manage his anxiety. Auger would be a lovely addition to any home, but because of his instinct to bark when alone, he will not be a match for homes with shared walls (apartments/condos).
Auger is the cutest little fella who is easy to love, making him a wonderful companion for a patient and understanding family. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate pup who will keep you smiling with his antics and cuddles, Auger is ready to meet you!

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.
