Happy 12th Anniversary, Haven Dog Rescue family! 🎉🐾

For more than a dozen years now, we’ve been dedicated to saving at-risk dogs from local Sacramento area shelters and giving them the second chances they deserve. Reaching this milestone wouldn't be possible without the heart and soul of our community.

🙏❤A massive THANK YOU to our incredible supporters, tireless volunteers, amazing fosters, and our wonderful shelter partners across the Sacramento region. Whether you've donated, fostered, or shared our posts, your endless love and generosity are what make every single rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption possible.

To celebrate, we dug into the archives and crunched some numbers from the last 12 years, and the results gave us a pretty good smile! 📊

I bet you can guess our most common dog breed before looking! (Hint: It’s not exactly a big surprise for anyone who knows us well! 👑🐕)

Here's to many more years of wagging tails, sloppy kisses, and forever homes! ❤️

This is Luis. Luis has had a rough few weeks.💔 He is 4 yrs old, 15 lbs, and currently recovering from surgery where an abscess was removed from his face (BIG thanks to the Sacramento SPCA for taking care of it). This loving boy could use a home that has patience and is willing to wait for him to warm up to them. With time he seems like he'll be by your side forever! 🐾

Holy freakin' crap! 🍸🐾

Meet Cosmo, the undisputed celebrity doppelgänger of Brian Griffin from Family Guy! While he might not enjoy dry martinis or write pretentious novels, he is just as much of a beloved family member.

Cosmo is an absolute sweetheart who is fantastic with young kids. He is incredibly affectionate and has absolutely zero concept of his actual size, as far as he's concerned, he is a 💯% certified lap dog who belongs right on top of you for snuggle time.

If your family is looking for a loyal, kid-friendly companion with a familiar face, Cosmo is ready to be your new best friend!

Seeking a Foster-to-Adopt Home for a Fiercely Loyal Companion! 🐾
Do you know someone who lives alone, works from home, or is simply looking for a devoted, full-time sidekick?

We are looking for a special foster-to-adopt home for 9-year-old Marlene where she is the only four-legged resident. This arrangement is the perfect way to make sure it’s a match before making it official!

Meet Marlene (~15 lbs of pure devotion):
Marlene is a dog who loves with her whole heart. She bonds incredibly strongly with her person and wants to be involved in everything you do.

Why she is a great catch:

World-Class Cuddler: She is perfectly content sitting and napping by your side all day.

Built-in Pest Control: She is a master fly hunter! Hear a buzz? Marlene is on the case.

Those Eyes: She has the sweetest doe eyes that make her absolutely irresistible.

Clean bill of health: She just had her check-up and is doing great!

Marlene’s Ideal Home:

Strictly an ONLY DOG home: Marlene loves her person so much that she gets possessive. She wants you all to herself!

If you or someone you know (a parent, a quiet neighbor, or a friend) is looking for a loyal shadow to share their days with, Marlene might just be the one.

Please SHARE to help us find her person, or apply here if you think you are the right fit: https://www.havendogrescue.org/adopt-1

Dr. Carney and Dr. Abney are amazing! We always recommend Foothill Farms Veterinary Hospital to anyone in our area who adopts a rescue dog from us. Thank you for all you do to save so many cute fuzzy lives or make their lives better❤️ Miss Hazel is very grateful for your help too!

Dr. Abney and Dr. Carney both recently celebrated their workiversaries at FFVH! We are so extremely grateful to both of them for their talent, skill, and endless compassion! Dr. Abney and Dr. Carney became best friends while they were at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Now they share an office (with Max and Evie and course!) The respect and camaraderie they share for each other is palatable and translates into everything they do!

Cancel your Saturday plans. You’re getting a dog. 📅🐶

This Saturday is National Adopt-a-Pet Day, and our dogs have officially requested that we find them some permanent staff (aka a forever family).

✋If you’ve been looking for a sign to finally get a dog, this is it. This is the sign.

What’s in it for you?

An excuse to skip social events you didn't want to go to anyway ("Sorry, gotta get home to the dog!").

A personal shadow who will follow you to the kitchen, the bathroom, and everywhere in between.

Unconditional love and zero judgment when you watch a whole season of TV in one sitting.

Come hang out with us this Saturday and let us matchmake you with a pup who matches your exact energy level (whether that's "marathon runner" or "pro couch potato").
