Story
Sweet little Bea! This darling, short-coated girl came from a tough situation at a high-kill shelter in Texas. We weren't able to save the whole litter, but Bea arrived with a heart full of love and a playful, happy attitude. Bea loves to run and play, but she also loves to be held. She needs patience and kindness as she learns the ropes about living in a house rather than a shelter, but she has so very much to give back in return! This little lady is fine-boned, with cute white paws, a large white bib, and the most adorable floppy ears. You'll be so glad to welcome her into your home. She's not a barky pup, but communicates her love with her whole wiggly self. Spayed and up to date on vaccinations.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Sugar! This sweetie came to us a few months ago as a local stray and after never being reclaimed, she has had her vet work all brought up-to-date. Upon her arrival at Safe Haven, it was evident that she was not feeling the greatest as several Safe Haven staff and volunteers were reporting continual diarrhea and vomiting in her kennel. When our veterinarian was able to examine Sugar, she knew something was not right - after further testing thru an ultrasound, it appeared that Sugar's intestines were not looking the way they should. After a several hour long "exploratory surgery", our veterinarian was able to come to the conclusion that Sugar had some serious infection going on along with previous infectious material within her intestines and her very enlarged spleen was not keeping up with fighting off present infection. After overcoming a very intrusive surgery, Sugar was started on a very strict and special diet along with several medications to help her continue to fight off any infection that was still present internally. After receiving 24/7 around the clock care - Sugar may have gotten a little spoiled with all the attention from many Safe Haven volunteers... she learned to love attention & affection very quickly! :) Fast forward about two months, Sugar is doing really well! She has completed her rounds of antibiotics and medications have been finished. She has worked her way towards a "normal" diet over the last several weeks and has been doing very well with this transition. Our veterinarian is ready for Sugar to be cleared and officially available for adoption!  Sugar would do best in a home as an only pet, as she does not get along well with other dogs nor cats. Once you're able to meet Sugar - you will know, Sugar is the only pet you will need to fill your heart! Sugar is a very strong and active girl - always on the go!! She would love an active family with many long walks in her future - a fenced yard would be wonderful for this active girl as well!  Interested in meeting or adopting Sugar? Please complete an online adoption application for her which can be found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application is submitted, a volunteer will be in contact with you shortly.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 10:00 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. 3/27/24 Update: Diego & Dora are a sibling-pair, very much bonded to one another. These two were adopted and found themselves a home in which they were well cared for for the past two years. Due to the change of living conditions and long working hours for their previous owner, they have been brought back to Safe Haven knowing that a well-suited home will be out there looking for them! Diego & Dora are quite the pair - they both have their own personalities, but compliment one another well. They enjoy their walks, and are both great on a leash. Since both are somewhat larger-sized dogs, a home with lots of room to explore and a yard to safely run and exercise would be great for these siblings. A fenced-in yard would be a huge bonus for them! Daily enrichment, exercise, and love (of course) are all part of their requests for their new home. Enrichment activities and daily exercise will not only help stimulant their busy minds, but will also help tire them out during "quiet time". Diego & Dora are looking for a home with no small pets - as they are both have a high prey drive that can be witnessed when seeing a rabbit, squirrels, and cats.    To ensure proper introductions, we would ask for an initial meet & greet to take place for any current dogs in a potential future home for these two. In order to set up a meet & greet, please complete an online adoption application found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the application has been submitted a Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact to discuss the next steps.  Please read more below to learn about their initial arrival to Safe Haven in 2021: This wonderful sibling pair is looking for a new home together due to a disabling medical condition of their owner that left him unable to meet their needs. Dora and Diego were born on April 1, 2017. They are spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations,  Heartworm testing and monthly preventative, and have been boarded at a local facility that gives them glowing reviews.  Dora and Diego are great dogs that enjoy meeting new people, even kiddos!  They also have been enjoying long walks by a local dog walker, who also takes them to the dog park.  They do get along with certain other dogs, but not all dogs, because Dora was once attacked by another dog.  So dog introductions need to be done carefully since they can understandly be a bit selective in their canine friends.   Their family also reports that Dora and Diego need a new home without cats, because both dogs do have a very high prey drive that is witnessed when they see a rabbit or squirrel - so their ideal home will not have any small pets.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 10:00 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Wally! This handsome guy came to Safe Haven last year as a local stray. He was with us for a short while before being adopted into a home. Wally was very loved in his home for several months. It was a very tough decision to make, but it was decided that Wally needs home without small children. Wally has showed some signs of resource guarding - with toys, treats/food, and his resting area. Wally has been making frequent trips to one of our volunteers home to continue working on some of the areas that were once a struggle of Wally; he states that Wally has come leaps and bounds in such a short time. Knowing all of these tidbits of Wally's behaviors in a home setting have really assisted in guiding us in the right direction to finding Wally his best, most-suited forever home. Wally needs someone who will love him and continue holding him accountable when his behavior is unacceptable. Wally is up-to-date on his vaccinations, had a veterinary examination, has been microchipped, neutered, received monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventatives - which means.... he is ready to begin looking for his new forever home! As you see in his bio pictures - Wally had a group of special guests choose his name last year.  A volunteer group of Hawkeye Football players picked the name 'Wally', specifically named after their Assistant Defensive Coordinator coach, Seth Wallace. How special is that?! If you are interested in meeting or potentially adopting this handsome hound, please complete an online adoption application found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. Once the adoption application is submitted, a volunteer will be in contact to set up a meet & greet time.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 10:00 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If you're looking for a great companion that is a few years past all the "puppy antics" and has settled into his prime adulthood with several great years left to enjoy ... then check out our big guy Doc!   Doc was transferred to Safe Haven from the Cedar Rapids animal shelter on November 3rd, because they were overflowing with great dogs, and we happened to have space available. Doc's story won our hearts immediately  - he is an "older" dog that was surrendered by his owner after spending time living in her car with her and another dog.  It is clear that Doc has known love, and still has so much unconditional love to return.  Doc also hasn't missed too many meals over the years, and came into the shelter originally weighing 93 pounds.  Over the course of his three months at the Cedar Rapids they noticed Doc can be protective of his food and food dish, and would need to be fed separately from other pets in his forever home.  They were however able to help Doc lose 10 pounds, so he is on the right track to get down to a healthier weight....hopefully another 10 or 15 pounds off and he will look and feel like a brand new dog!   Doc did also come into the shelter in Cedar Rapids with an ear infection that had to be treated a couple different times, hopefully with regular ear cleaning now this won't be a chronic issue for him, but definitely something to keep an eye on.  Doc also has a lipoma (benign fatty tumor) on his belly - which is fairly common on older, overweight Labrador Retrievers, that shouldn't cause any issues and just need to be monitored for any changes as time goes on. Doc also just had a dental done last month - where a fractured tooth was removed and all his other teeth were polished, so he has a brand new shiny smile that we just love!   Interested in adopting this pet?
