The shelters are overflowing with unwanted dogs and puppies. Every week we have to turn away hundreds of requests to accept dogs into our adoption program. We have been contacted by our rescue partner in Tennessee with a plea to help them save these dogs.
A few of these dogs are Heartworm Positive, which means they have heartworm and are usually overlooked by adopters and often are the first euthanized. We have been blessed with a veterinary partner that treats these dogs at a discounted rate to allows us to save them. As long as your dog is up to date on vaccinations and current on heartworm prevention, there is no risk to your dog.
We have the opportunity to bring these pups to safety this coming Saturday 9/10/16, but we need your help to do it!

Safe Haven Dog Rescue is an all volunteer dog rescue. We do not have a physical location and rely upon the generosity of families that open their homes to provide a temporary Safe Haven for dogs and puppies that truly deserve a second chance. Fostering a dog is a challenging but rewarding experience.
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. We are there to help you and discuss any challenges that you are facing. We want a successful experience for you and the dog in your care.
Our foster families have the first option to adopt the dog or puppy in their care, so it's a great way to determine if you are ready for a dog, or even a second or third!
If you are interested in fostering, would like more details on how it works, or want to know more about the dogs, please email safehavendogsil@yahoo.com.
