Story
Meet Haven: A Sweet, Outgoing Pittie Looking for Her Forever FamilyHaven is an 11-month-old pittie with a heart full of love and a personality to match. This sweet, petite girl is outgoing, and absolutely ready to find her forever home. Despite her rough start, she’s incredibly loving and eager to share her joy with the right family. Haven was found as a stray, and when her owner was contacted, they chose not to reclaim her. Left confused and heartbroken, Haven is still adjusting to her new life, but her sweet, social nature is shining through. She’s been patiently waiting for a family to call her own, and with Christmas right around the corner, she’s hoping her holiday wish comes true.This young girl is full of energy, playfulness, and affection. Haven loves people and is always excited to meet new friends. She’s the kind of dog who will greet you with a wagging tail and an eager smile, ready to jump into any adventure you have in mind. Whether it’s cuddling up on the couch, going for a walk, or playing with toys, Haven is always up for some fun.At just 11 months old, Haven is still a puppy at heart and will thrive in a home where she can get the love, attention, and exercise she needs. She’s new here so we don't have a whole lot of info just yet, but we believe her to be good with other dogs and would be a great addition to an active family or household. While she’s still a young dog, she’s well on her way to becoming the perfect companion—loyal, affectionate, and full of joy.Haven may not have a family for Christmas this year, but she’s hopeful that the right person or family will open their hearts and give her the love she’s been waiting for. She’s ready to make 2025 the best year yet, filled with new memories, playtime, and all the love she has to give.**Adopt Haven, and give this sweet, outgoing girl the family she’s been longing for.** She’s ready to make your holidays—and every day after—brighter with her love and energy.
