Founded in 1952, Pet Haven is proud to be Minnesota’s first foster-based animal rescue organization. Pet Haven improves the lives of pets and the people who love them by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats; reducing pet overpopulation by supporting spay and neuter efforts, and providing resources to people that help strengthen the human-animal bond.
1. View our adoptable pets! Check out the links for our adoptable cats and dogs, where you can view their photos and read their bios. You can meet some of our adoptable animals at adoption events. 2. Fill out an application. If you would like to meet a dog or cat that interests you, complete our online adoption application. Your application is not binding - it is just the first step in learning more about an animal. We often get several applications for one pet so please understand filling out an application does not guarantee you will be able to adopt this pet. 3. Meet and greet time: A Pet Haven volunteer will respond to your application to let you know if the pet is still available and discuss the animal in greater detail. If the pet is still available and you are interested in learning more we will schedule a “meet and greet.” This meeting can take place virtually, at a home, an adoption event, or out in the community. 4. Home visit: If you are adopting a dog or a cat, Pet Haven will arrange a home visit. This can be done virtually. The home visit helps us ensure that your home will be a good fit based on what we know about the cat or dog, and it’s also a chance for you to ask us any questions and receive last-minute pointers before you bring your new pet home! 5. Submit paperwork and adoption fee: An adoption contract is completed and the adopter pays an adoption fee. Our adoption fee includes the cost of the spay/neuter surgery, microchip implant, and all age-appropriate vaccinations. 6. Congratulations, you’ve got a new family member! You’ll receive lots of support leading up to and after your adoption. Once you adopt from Pet Haven, you’re always a part of our family and we’ll be here for any support or questions!
