Foster Homes Needed for THIS Saturday 2/3!

Will you please help us bring them to safety?

This winter has been unseasonably cold and even snowy at our shelter partner in Tennessee. They are not equipped for such cold temperatures as many of their kennels are outside!

Safe Haven Dog Rescue would like to bring the dogs and puppies below to Illinois to make enough room to bring all the dogs inside. We do not have a physical location and we can only bring as many puppies to safety as we have foster homes.

These LAST few dogs have the chance to come to warmth and safety in Illinois THIS Saturday February 3rd, but we need committed foster homes to make that happen.

Gracie - Female, Mix Breed (Pittie Weimariner mix???); about 45lbs but Very thin! Her photos do not do this sweet girl justice, she is BEAUTIFUL! She is about one year old, and a little angel. Heartworm NEGATIVE!! Plays well with other dogs!

2 Black Lab/Aussie Puppies about 8 to 10 weeks old. Can be fostered together or separately.

  • Have you been thinking about adding a canine companion to your family but not certain?
  • Or have you ever wondered if your dog would like a playmate?
  • Would you like to have the first choice to adopt some amazing pups?

NOW is your chance! Our fosters have the first choice to adopt!

Safe Haven Dog Rescue pays for all vetting (done locally in Geneva, South Elgin, Wheaton, Naperville and Elmhurst) and provides you with a crate, collar, leash, food, treats, toys, and more while you foster. You provide love (something they need most) and a safe warm place for them to stay until they find their forever home.
For more information about fostering or for a foster home application, please email erin.safehavendogs@gmail.com ASAP. This is URGENT, we need to get all of the dogs a space INSIDE! We must know by Thursday at 4pm!

If you are not in a position to foster, please SHARE this information to help us find fosters!
