Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This 2-year-old Dachshund/Cocker mix is full of energy and personality! Weighing 24 pounds, Reuben is always ready for a game of fetch or tug of war with his beloved toys. Rueben also has a sweet and endearing habit of giving hugs, which is sure to melt your heart. He is affectionate, active, and a wonderful companion who is eager to bond closely with his new family!
While still managing some anxiety, Rueben is adjusting well to indoor life. He is house-trained (only a few initial markings when he first arrived) and thrives on regular walks, preferring two long ones each day to burn off his energy. Rueben pulls a bit on the leash, but he’s shown great improvement with consistent training. A fenced yard would also give him the freedom to run and explore, which he’d love, but isn't necessary. While he’s not fully crate-trained, he settles down after a few barks when he's going to bed. Overall, Rueben is a great roommate who careful with your things and keeps you company!
This sweet boy can be a little nervous with strangers, showing a touch of “stranger danger” behavior. However, once he understands they’re okay, he warms up quickly and becomes incredibly affectionate. Rueben loves staying close to his human, following them everywhere, and he does bark briefly if left alone in a room. He would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time.
Rueben is friendly with neighbor dogs and would likely enjoy a doggy sibling. He hasn’t had experiences with cats or children yet, but his loving and active nature suggests he could adapt well with proper introductions.
Rueben is scheduled for neutering and surgery for cherry eye on December 14 and will be ready for his forever home soon after.
If you’re looking for a playful and loving pup with a big heart and endless affection to give, Rueben is ready to join your family!

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.
