Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This 2-year-old Chihuahua is super sweet and has a heart full of love! At just 12 pounds, this adorable pup is a quiet companion who thrives on being near her humans, whether she's curled up at your feet or nestled on your lap. She’s a low-maintenance cuddle bug with a bit of playful energy, making her the perfect balance of calm and fun.
Boo has adjusted well to her foster home, showing her affectionate and trusting nature. After a few days of higher energy and some nervousness, her loving personality quickly emerged. Fully house-trained, she’s had occasional accidents, likely due to some anxiety, but she does well on a schedule. Boo is crate-trained, settling down within 10 minutes, and she’s quiet and respectful when left alone—though she’d prefer to have her humans around of course.
This little lady is great with other animals, showing she's curious and polite during introductions with dogs and cats. She hasn’t been introduced to kids while in our care yet, but her sweet demeanor suggests she’d be friendly and a great family dog.
When it comes to playtime, Boo doesn't really know what to do with toys or doggy playmates, but enjoys short walks where she can explore and look for bunnies. Surprisingly strong for her size, she’ll keep you on your toes when she spots something exciting. When she gets a burst of energy at home, she loves zooming around the apartment or hopping between furniture for playtime. Her jumps are quite impressive—during her first week with higher energy, she would easily jump two feet in the air when we came home from work, hopping around like a little kangaroo!
Boo’s quirks are sure to make you smile, like her obsession with belly rubs (she’ll stay still for hours if you keep petting her!) and her excited little jumps when she’s happy to see you. She’s eager to please, responding well to training with a little shredded cheese as motivation. Boo would thrive in a loving home where she can be part of the family. If you’re looking for an affectionate, quiet, and endearing companion, Boo is ready to win your heart!

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.
