Damian - Adopted 4/21/2025

Damian has a wonderful mom and dad, and also a fur sister to spend his days romping around with and maybe even getting to go to daycare with! We know he will beloved beyond measure.

Daria - Adopted 4/20/2025

Daria came to us from a shelter after waiting quite some time there for someone to notice her. And we’re not sure how they did not. This girl is absolutely perfect. She loves everyone and everything and would probably even be fine with a real bunny. She’s sweet, bouncy, full of love and the complete package.

We are so thankful to her foster family for letting her take up some room in their home and hearts while she awaited her forever. She entered their home as if she was always meant to be there and quickly won their affection while they gave her safety, security and the stability she needed while she waited.

We are so thankful to her new family for choosing to add this angel in need to their journey in life. She has a wonderful mom, some human sisters and even a little tiny tot whom she already adores. She will be their best friend for always. We wish them all the very best that this life can bring them.

Patricia - Adopted 4/7/2025

Patricia joined the Haven in September of 2022. She has been with us just shy of two years and seven months. She has been here 936 days. 936 days of being pure love, joy and affection wrapped up in the cutest little meatball of a soul, for no particular reason other than she wanted to be the only dog in the home and it takes her a few minutes to warm up to new people because she is afraid at first. Literally that’s it. No huge red flags. No unworkable traits. Just a gal who wanted a family to herself.

We’ve been sharing her every few days for that entire time. In that time, she had only a handful of applications. Most of those, with other dogs and she needed to be an only. One who set up a meet with her and she did great, but they were adding another dog to their home at the same time and that wouldn’t have worked either. But we kept trying. We didn’t give up hope. We knew her person was there. And she did too. Cheddar Paws Dog Art Even graciously had one of their artists paint a beautifully portrait of her to go with her to her new family.

We’ve had many people offer to sponsor her adoption fee, but if we’re going to be completely honest, we don’t do that. And the reason is, because every time we’ve ever allowed that, every single dog has come back and been returned with the exception of one. As much as we love every single one of them, we dont want them to come back. We want them to have their families forever. And We don’t want someone applying for a dog just to get them moved. We want to be certain that when one of our dogs leave, it’s for the right reasons, with the right person, and that everything we’ve done up until that point helps ensure a furever, not just an “until” home.

Sometimes it still doesn’t work out, but the rate of returns we have is extremely low, and we intend to do everything possible to make sure it stays that way. Because these dogs aren’t just dogs. They are beings with feelings, with souls, who had lives that weren’t always ideal in some cases, and they deserve to be loved, to be cherished, and to be given everything they could ever dream of.

So today, it is our greatest pleasure to announce that Patricia got to come in to the office, sit on the adoption couch and have her photo taken with her new mom.

We are so very grateful to her foster mom who has dedicated years to this girls happiness, health and well being. Who worked with her and loved and cherished her every single day until the day we knew she would go home. Who never gave up on her or the hope that her forever was out there.

We are so thankful to her new mom (and grandma!) who have chosen this angel to add to their heart and lives. Thank you for taking the chance on meeting this beautiful girl, falling in love and promising her forever. We hope every single day is one filled with love, laughter and so much happiness for all three of you.



Happiest tails, Patricia. You have no idea how much you are loved!

On Friday morning, Leto decided to begin vomiting which was highly unusual, and vomiting a lot. So we took him to the vet, had X-rays done and there was a high suspicion of a blockage. So he spent the night Friday on fluids, getting an enema and trying to push everything through. On Saturday he was doing better and didnt need surgery but his GI tract was still pretty angry, and it seems it was all a part of his own master plan to snag himself a forever. (Just look at his smirk!)

Over the weekend, his treating vet—one of our regular awesome doctors who has been caring for him since birth— took him home to continue his care, and her whole family fell in love with this silly, sweet, handsome boy and he decided they were his family from the minute he arrived.

Leto was born to our beautiful Astrid in October. We didn’t even know his mom was expecting until about two weeks before giving birth, so they were named the “Secret” litter.

Reeves - Adopted 1/25/2025

On September 8, 2020 at approximately 9:40pm, a little white puppy weighing 10.2 ounces was born and we named him Reeves. Reeves had a very protective mama and a whole lot of siblings. There were 11 in the litter. Reeves stayed with his mom, got his puppy vaccines and went on to find a forever home when he was about 10 weeks old with his dad named Brian.

He was the light of his life and was Brian’s sole companion in the home. Reeves came back to us in March of 2021 for a sleepover so that he could have his neuter surgery. It was completed, and he went back to his dad to live out his life in bliss.



Well, that was the plan.

Sadly, his dad fought cancer for quite some time and was a stoic man so never told us he was struggling. During this time, Reeves developed some allergies, which are common in bully mixes—especially the white ones. Due to his ongoing battle, he became not able to properly take care of Reeves though we know he loved him very much. Reeves’s allergies were flaring badly, his dad couldn’t take him out of the home due to his illness so his nails became overgrown. They were both in pretty rough shape.

We require updates from our adopters every 3 months. 4 times a year. They have to send videos and let us know how their dogs are doing. And Brian did his with no issue.

Until October of 2023. Brian didn’t send his update. So I reached out at the beginning of November. I texted his phone. I sent him a Facebook message. And received no reply. Knowing this wasn’t on par for him, I began doing some digging and found out that Brian had lost his battle to cancer. Reeves was living in the home alone, with one of Brian’s family members taking care of him the best that he could, but wasn’t able to financially or physically care for him at the time. I reached out to him and we arranged for this sweet boy to come back into our care.

Reeves returned to his foster home, the one he was born in, that November. We worked on clearing up his skin, getting him medications, updating his vetting, making sure he had the proper food. And he healed beautifully.

But he also became stressed because he wasn’t used to someone not being with him all the time. He wasn’t used to sharing a home with other dogs. He wasn’t used to anything other than the quiet life with his dad who had passed. His skin still had flares from time to time but nothing like previously.

Reeves has been with us since that November. And this past December, Brian’s brother Tim reached out to ask how he was doing. If he had been adopted. And truthfully we said no, he doesn’t trust new people easily and was still with his foster. And then he asked if he could see him.

So we set up several meets at Tim’s house. And though it took a minute, Reeves recognized him and began running around happier than he had been in an entire year. Tim’s living situation had changed since the previous year and asked about adopting him now that he could financially and physically take care of him. We had several more meets, and we scheduled his vaccines to be updated and then set a date.

And on Thursday, Reeves went home. With his new dad, his first dads brother. We sent him with enough of his prescription food and enough of his medications to last until his new dad can get him in at a clinic near his home. We sent him with his favorite toys, his prescription treats…. But most of all, we sent him with so much love, happiness and gratitude that he could be reunited with his family. And we couldn’t be happier for both of them, and wish them every day filled with love for each other and this life.

We love every single dog that comes through our doors immensely. Every single one. Not just for the time we have them, but for their entire lives. Their families become our family. Our fosters love them as their own and we are so thankful Reeves’ foster mom not only cared for him at birth, but also in his hardest season of his life. This situation is one of the exact reasons we require updates. One of the reasons we will always be here for our dogs, whether current or adopted, and one of the reasons we will always, always be here for their families to help with support if it is within our capability to do so.

Every single dog is an Abby’s dog for life, and always will be.

Happiest tails sweet Reeves. We love you so much. And we’re so thankful you have found your place. Thank you for being patient. Have the best life buddy.

Riddle - Adopted 1/24/2025

Riddle went home with his new mom and dad yesterday.

Riddle was born to our beautiful Astrid in October. We didn’t even know her mom was expecting until about two weeks before giving birth, so they were named the “Secret” litter.

The pups all grew and Astrid did a great job with them, and they’ve been working on their social skills and learning the ins and outs of being in a home. Riddle was one of the “big boys” of the pups, and made sure his siblings knew he ruled the kingdom. He showed them there was little to fear and tried to be the tough cookie on the block, but inside he’s a big ole mush who is really a sensitive kid but full of adventure.

We are thankful to his new family for choosing to open their home and hearts and making this handsome boy a part of their family. He has a wonderful mom and dad, who we are pretty sure will spoil him rotten. We wish each of them a life filled with love and laughter.

Happiest tails, handsome Riddle! You are so very, very loved!

Astrid - Adopted 1/20/2025

Astrid came to the haven via a humane officer after being removed from a home with thirteen other dogs who were stuck in crates and not being taken care of.

She began her vetting and soon had an approved family, but during their meets, her soon to be dad noticed that she looked a little rounder than she had the week before though she wasn’t huge or pronounced.

So we set up an ultrasound and xray, and sure enough, Astrid was hiding seven little “secrets.” She was moved to medical foster care so she could give birth, and a week later we had 7 new babies—Riddle, Rune, Velia, Pandora, Zeph, Leto and Sypher.

Astrid had a few medical hiccups after birth, but was a very, very good mom and tended to their every need and took care of them beautifully. She raised them up and began weaning them and when they reached 8 weeks old, she bid them adieu and went back to her original foster home to await her spay surgery and finishing touches.

During this entire process, which began in September when they originally applied for her, her new mom and dad visited with her. When the pups were old enough to spend some hours without their mom, she took mini day trips to what would become her new home. Her parents pulled out all the stops and were ready and willing to make sure they stuck by her and awaited the time she could come home for good. Today was that day.

We are so thankful to her foster homes for giving this girl their all, showering her with love, and doing everything she needed to be healthy, happy and ready for furever.

We are so grateful to her new home for choosing to open their home and hearts and adding this angel In need. She obviously has a very dedicated and amazing set of parents, but she also has a fur brother who’s been dealing with her mood swings—wanting to play and not wanting to play— and getting to know her while her hormones came back into alignment.

We wish all of you every day filled with happiness, joy, and above all, love.

Happy tails most sweet girl. You are so very, very loved by so many!

Felix - Adopted 1/18/2025

Felix was hit by a car on Thanksgiving and was taken to the emergency veterinarians at Animal Emergency Center who got him stable and cared for him until he could be transferred to Animal Care Center- Danville, Pennsylvania for a few days to remain under observation to be certain his liver laceration was healing. Once released to foster care, our amazing team at Veterinary Medical Center took over care. We learned he had a previous old hip fracture that was left untreated and healed on its own, but he remained stable enough to begin his vaccinations and basic care.

We’re so thankful to his foster families for opening their homes to allow this boy quiet safety to heal, and then working on helping him become the best boy he could be.

We’re so grateful to his forever family for choosing to open their hearts and home to adding this angel to their forever family. Felix has a wonderful mom and dad, some human siblings, some doggo siblings and even some guinea pigs and farm animals for him to bork at and keep in line. We wish all of you the best that life can bring in each love, joy and laughter.

Milan - Adopted 1/4/2025

Milan came to us over the summer with her siblings in rough shape after being found by animal control. They were skinny, had skin infections, and were strays and only babies. They got all healed up and awaited their forevers.

Milan was adopted but due to absolutely zero fault of her own, she came back to the Haven. We had her checked out by our vet staff (who are amazing!) and her former foster family welcomed her back into their home until she found a forever. And we had an approved family who was waiting for the right fit to complete their hearts. Her new mom even realized she had this sweatshirt come a few months ago with her name on it—so it must’ve been in the cards the universe dealt.

We are so grateful to her new family for choosing to open their home and hearts to this Angel in need.
