My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Seisel was born at his foster home on Halloween - after his mom Roxie (that came into the local Pound as a stray a few weeks earlier) suprised us all by have a large litter of 10 puppies!  While we had come to realize that Roxie was pregnant, and found a wonderful foster home for her to get settled into before having the puppies - her prenatal ultrasound had suggested she was carrying 7 or 8 puppies!  Roxie has been a wonderful mother to her large litter, but also seems happy that this will be her last litter!  We also were contacted by people that knew Roxie's original owner and they told us the father of this litter is a Pyrenees / Lab mix - so her 10 puppies do have the potential to be pretty large dogs, and two of the puppies do indeed have the double dew-claws that is common in the Pyrenees breed. 

Seisel, which was the sixth puppy born in his litter, is now 6 weeks old (on 12/12/2024) and they have all recieved their first vaccinations and are microchipped .....so we can now be sure to tell them apart from each other correctly!  Once they are 8 weeks old, they will receive a second Distemper (DA2PP) booster vaccine, kennel cough vaccine, deworming, and monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative. We anticipate this litter to be ready to go to their forever homes the first week of January!


These puppies will be adopted out on a spay/neuter contract, which means their adoptive families will sign a contract stating the puppies will be spayed/neutered when they are a bit older and will be required to bring the puppy back to Safe Haven for us to spay/neuter when the puppy is between 6 to 9 months old, at no additional cost. The other option for each adoptive family would be to have the surgery done with their veterinarian at the family's own cost, and provide us proof of that surgery once complete.

The ideal adoptive family will be committed to taking a puppy obedience class right away to get started on the right foot - they will need a family that can commit to continue proper socialization and also all the work that goes into house-training a puppy, which requires a lot of patience and persistence with working on a schedule. Puppies need to be taken outside frequently - as often as every 4 hours in the beginning. So an ideal home for these puppies will be one where they won't have long periods of time during the day spent alone during the first few months, so they can have the best chance of successful housetraining and have years of wonderful love and devotion to focus on! 

If you are interested in adopting Seisel or one of his littermates please fill out an adoption application as the first step of the adoption process. The adoption application can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application has been approved, a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to set up the adoption.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

It is the policy of Safe Haven of Iowa County that all animals adopted from our facility will be spayed or neutered upon adoption, or the adopter will sign a spay/neuter agreement and follow up with veterinary records once the operation has been complete for puppies and kittens. We firmly believe that controlling the animal population is the only way to reduce the population of animals in rescue facilities such as ours and those shelters that do destroy animals for no reason other than overpopulation.

It is our policy that adoptions are conducted a minimum of 24 hours after your initial visit with the animal and submission of the adoption application. This allows us time to call your references, perform home inspection as well as giving you the opportunity to sleep on your decision and make sure it is what you really want.

Compare the adoption fees below with the routine animal health care and spay / neuter costs you would have to pay. Without the generous help of the local veterinarians we would never be able to include such services at this fee.

We have the right to refuse ANY adoption for ANY reason.


Dogs & Puppies: Adoption fees include spaying or neutering (if under 4 months a voucher is provided for surgery at one of our participating veterinarians), heartworm test, distemper, rabies, worming, ear cleaning, flea control if needed.

Fee: $200.00


Cats & Kittens: Adoption fees include spaying or neutering (if under 4 months a voucher is provided for surgery at one of our participating veterinarians), FeLv and FIV testing, distemper, rabies and worming, ear cleaning, and flea control if needed.

Fee: $50.00


All puppies and kittens adopted without spay/neuter completed will have a contract stating the animals will be altered by the time it is 6 months old. Follow up calls will be made to confirm completion of surgery.

More about this rescue

Our Mission
Safe Haven of Iowa County is a rescue organization whose mission is to rescue, protect, spay/neuter and find good homes for stray animals in Iowa County, Iowa. We strive to offer the best in traditional veterinary care with relationships built with local veternarians and, whenever possible, holistic health care for sick and injured animals in our care.
While sheltering homeless pets is vitally important, Safe Haven of Iowa County also understands that pet shelters are not a solution to the nations overpopulation problem. It is essential that we:

-Teach respect for living things

-Reinforce the bond between humans and animals

-advocate for and help provide assistance to large scale spay and nuetering programs

-Teach and model responsible pet ownership

These are all things that will help us in our effort to stop the needless killing of cats and dogs in our shelters and pounds.

We ask that our community understand that while we pamper and care for our pets they are all still missing the most important thing in their life...a loving home and family of thier own.
