Foster Homes Needed for THIS Saturday 10/7/17

Please consider opening your home to one of these deserving dogs.

Our shelter partner in Tennessee is severely overcrowded! We would like to help ease their overcrowding and reduce or possibly eliminate the need for them to euthanize for space. Please understand, euthanasia is the LAST possible option at this shelter. They do everything they can to find rescue for these deserving dogs.

The dogs below have the chance to come to Illinois on THIS Saturday 10/7/17. But since we are an all foster based rescue, we need committed foster homes in order for them to ride to safety.

4 Lab mix Puppies – About 4 months Old. Typical puppy personalities! Can be fostered in groups of two or one alone.

Ross – Male Lab Mix – About 6 Months old. Ross is super sweet! He has been in a foster home in Tennessee and is getting along great with all people and dogs.

Trista, Turner, Tucker, and Trinity – Timmy’s younger siblings – About 10 weeks old. Typical Terrier puppies. May be fostered in groups of 2 or all 4 together…your choice!

Cletus - Male Chocolate Lab mix, Just over 1 year old - Smaller than the average Lab. He is said to be wonderful with other dogs and as sugary sweet as his color!

Suzanna - Female "low rider" mix, about 1 year old. Dropped at the shelter with her puppies. Her puppies have a new life, but sometimes moms get left behind...we would like her to come to safety!

Fostering is a challenging but extremely rewarding experience…

  • 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.

For more information about fostering or for a foster home application, please email erin.safehavendogs@gmail.com ASAP...we need to know by Thursday in order to get them on transport.

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