Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Stella is a 2-year-old Beagle/Chihuahua mix who is the perfect combination of sweet and spunky. Her sense of humor shines when she chomps loudly on her food, lets out dramatic sighs, or meanders down the sidewalk in anything but a straight line. She’s a big dog in a little body, always curious and eager to sniff whatever you’re eating, just to let you know she’s paying attention. When she’s not playing fetch or stealing socks, Stella can often be found gazing out the window, keeping tabs on the world around her.
Though shy and anxious when she first arrived in her foster home, Stella quickly blossomed into a cuddlebug extraordinaire. She thrives on affection, and her favorite activities include snuggling up with her people, belly rubs, and playtime. Stella loves to show off her playful personality—when she's excited, she'll carry a toy around proudly or even entertain herself by tossing it and fetching it on her own!
Stella is house-trained and can use pee pads if necessary, and while she isn’t a fan of going into her crate, she settles quietly and comfortably once inside. This sweet pup is content with a short daily walk and enjoys quiet moments indoors just as much as outdoor adventures. While she’s nervous about car rides and barks briefly at noises outside, she calms down quickly and doesn’t bark excessively. Stella does not require a fenced yard, as long as she gets some time outdoors to explore and sniff around.
In her previous home, Stella lived with kids, dogs and cats, so we have no doubts she is a perfect family dog. While she's been in her foster home, she has just been more reserved when meeting new people and animals, so she may need a little time to warm up to them. She might need a few meetings to feel fully comfortable with strangers.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate dog with a touch of silliness, Stella is your perfect match!

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.
