What I Did Over Summer Vacation...

We can help with that dreaded essay!

Summer is here and the kids are already “bored”! Believe it or not, school will be here before you know it and you know what that means…the dreaded “What I Did Over Summer Vacation” essay!

Now you can cure that boredom and give the kids something to write about…when you save a life by fostering a dog or puppy!

Safe Haven Dog Rescue is in dire need of foster homes for pups that we would like rescue and bring to Illinois over the next few weekends (the weekend of 7/11 and the weekend of 7/25). Will you help us bring these deserving pups to safety?

The kids will LOVE it, and fostering is so rewarding! They can write about how they saved lives on that dreaded writing assignment!!

We pay for all vetting, food, toys, leash and collar for the foster dog or puppy. You provide love, socialization, and start the dog or puppy on basic training. An adoption coordinator is always available to discuss any challenges that you are facing. We want a successful experience for you and the dog in your care.

We also require that you have the ability to take your foster to routine veterinary visits at our participating vets. These vets are located in Wheaton, Naperville, and Elmhurst. Spay/Neuters are done in North Aurora.

If you are willing to help these dogs (and your kids) by opening your home to foster, please email safehavendogs@yahoo.com , ASAP!

We would love to let the shelters know these pups will be going to rescue!
