GORDONIs a malse Flat Coated Retriever mix, said to be AMAZING!!! Absolutely beautiful! Great with children and sleeps with the shelter cats!

RUBY - Is a female hound mix, about 9 months old and as sweet as can be!

QUASAR – Is a 1 year old Beagle Mix that wants nothing more than to be loved!

While you foster, we pay all expenses from vetting, to food and we provide a crate, leash, collars, and toys. Your family provides love and a loving, warm place for these pups until they find their forever homes. We also require that you have the ability to take these pups to routine veterinary visits at our participating vets. These vets are located in Wheaton, Naperville, and Elmhurst. Spay/Neuters are done in North Aurora.

Fostering is the most life giving thing you can do for a dog. It is a very rewarding experience that will make a huge impact on their life. By becoming a foster you are saving 2 lives - the animal you bring into your home while he or she waits to be adopted, and the animal who gets to take your foster’s place in the shelter.

Please email safehavendogs@yahoo.com ASAP for more details! We need to let the shelters know now if we are able to save these deserving pups by bringing them here this weekend!

If you cannot foster, you can still help by SHARING this information far and wide to help us find foster homes and adoptive families.
