ADOPTION DONATIONS: ( PHAR has had to
add gasoline cost to home visits and deliveries, cost depends on distance)
Adoption donations (not a price tag on the
animals but the cost of our services) are based on but not
limited to: breed, health, age, and sex of the animal. Adoption donations range from
$65-$300. You may ask, "Why would you charge an adoption fee? Why not just
place the animal into a good home?" The answer is: because we rely heavily on these adoption
fees in order to be able to take in other dogs and cats in need.
A young, healthy dog may cost us $100-300
in vet care, and have many homes interested in adopting him/her. An older or
sick dog, or one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500+ in veterinary
expenses. He/she may require months of foster care for rehabilitation or
expensive surgery; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee. Often times these
are also the same dogs who don't receive as many inquires for adopting and stay
with us for many months sometimes years.
Please keep in mind that the adoption
donations of younger, healthy animals help defray the higher cost of the
veterinary care of older, injured or sick animals.
Please contact us!E-mail is the best and usually quickest way. If you
do not receive an answer try again sometimes messages don't get to us.
Most of our volunteers work during the day in other jobs.
Pets-Haven welcomes all new applicants, but reserves the right to refuse any applicant.
Visiting Hours
by appointment only!
Please understand that our rescue relies on
foster homes, which are all private residences and not open to the public. We
will be glad to make an appointment for you to meet the animal of your choice at our office or to visit on our first interview, so you can spend some time together in your own
home atmosphere. To make an appointment your Pre-Adoption Application has
to be approved.

Our Adoption Motto
For You:
Be forever a
responsible guardian of your new companion, never neglect or abandon your new
friend. Remember, if you wouldn't like it, chances are your dog or cat
won't like it either (food excepted).
"...for better or for worse, in sickness
and in health, until death do us part."
Our Adoption Process
1. Read " Am I ready" to acknowledge that you read it and agreed. 2. Pick an animal from the adoption list that you would like to have
join your family. 3. Then fill out ourPre-Adoption Application. 4. You will hear from us within
1 to 3 days. 5. You will be interviewed in your own home. 6. The chosen animal will be allowed to visit during the interview
if you are in close driving distance. 7. Then after final evaluation a contract is signed for the animal's benefit. 8. The animal will then stay with his/her new family. 9. The first 3 weeks
are considered a trial period during which each party has the right to annul the
contract. During this period we expect the new guardians to stay in close
contact with Pets Haven. 10. Of course we always love to hear from you, even years later.
