Large and Small Animal Rescue
Our Featured Pet...
Ace is adorable. He just melts in your arms. Very personable and very loving, he will melt your heart also! Short hair coat on this guy. Born March 8, 2008, he has had 3 sets of vaccinations, deworming, and has started on Frontline and Heartgard. He is the last of 7 brothers and sisters to be adopted, and he is lonely!
His adoption fee is $75. A $25 deposit is also required in addition to the adoption fee. This is redemable after proof he has been neutered. Return the certificate and the invoice where he was neutered and I'll refund the $25 upon proof of the neuter.
Maggie and Jackson (formerly Brownie and Bear) at home in their new forever home in Indiana. They are growing and they are loved by their new adoptive family! Another Happy Tail for Critterhaven!!
Who We Are
We are a small farm in southern middle TN who fosters and rescues Keeshonds, Australian Shepherds, and Miniature Schnauzers to place in adoption waiting for their forever homes.
I am a caring individual who loves animals (ask my husband and friends!). It's that simple. This started as a brainchild of mine and I hope it will grow in the way that it is needed in this area.
My love originally started with just Keeshonds, but has grown just as our small farm has. I adore Australian Shepherds, and my four legged companion in life is my beloved Heidi-Ho. She is NOT for adoption!
I am non-profit and operate out of a single household, and the initial money/investment/supplies come out of my pockets.
Since this is the case I am limited to what I can and cannot take. As much as I would like to take in all the ones I'm asked to I cannot. I can take in dogs as soon as I find homes for some of the ones I have for adoption. I can take cats, horses, ferrets, birds, and other small critters. I really like foster home programs. If you are interested in fostering a dog in my care let me know!
Adopting a friend
Whether adopting an animal or volunteering to take and foster home a pet, rest assured that compatability is a key issue with me. You will have to meet the criteria for both adopting and fostering a pet. These will be discussed with you upon contact. Most of these animals have probably been traumatized enough in their lives. My goal is to see that each animal finds it's place in the world, and I will do my best to see that your home is that place. All dogs and cats will be spayed or neutered before leaving my home.
If your adopted pet is too young to be altered you will be required to pay a refundable $25 in addition to the adoption fee which will be refunded when proof of the surgery is provided. No exceptions. Adoption fees range from $15 for rabbits to $75 for the dogs. Cats fall into the middle category at around $35. All cats and dogs in accordance with TN state law will be given a Rabies vaccination if old enough. All dogs will be on Heartworm preventative after being tested. Puppies and kittens will receive their first vaccinations prior to the adoption. They will also be dewormed and pups started on Frontline and Heartgard at 8 weeks old.
We are NOT a kennel situation or a shelter that is available to the viewing public. You cannot come tour but you are free to call to setup a time to come see the pet you are interested in.
NO HOLDS. This is not a flea market where I can hold an animal til you decide whether you can find the time for it or not. If you are not truly interested then don't waste my time and yours possibly removing the chance the animal can find it's forever home.
I'm available most times anyday for you to visit your prospective pet. Please call or email ahead of time to set up a time to meet. I also work with rescue groups and am on different internet groups to try and get your new pet to you if you are out of state.
I make no money at this since most spays are well over $50 and my adoption fee does little to cover this and vaccinations. My goal is simply to place animals where they will have a forever home. If you cannot keep the animal you adopted you must return them to me and not expect a refund. Also do not insult me by asking me to lower my already low adoption fee.
