My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tank is an 8-month-old male Lab mix who loves belly rubs! Currently weighing 55 pounds, he’s an affectionate, smart, and playful pup who loves being part of the action, whether it’s playing with squeaky toys, going on walks, or snuggling on the couch.

When Tank joined his new foster family, he felt right at home! He immediately claimed his napping spot on the sofa, and all his favorite toys were carried into his kennel for safe keeping. Tank is house-trained, vocal when he needs to go outside, and crate-trained—he’s so comfortable with his kennel that he goes in on his own. Tank listens to commands like "kennel" and "sit," so learning a new routine will be easy for everyone. He doesn’t bark at strangers or doorbells, making him a great roommate, but still has some funny quirks like being absolutely convinced everything in your hand—especially if it’s edible—is for him.

Tank adores meeting other dogs and cats because that means there's more playmates for him! He is always curious and playful without showing aggression. He’s been great with kids, including a 10 and 12 year-old, although he may need to tone down his excitement when he meets smaller children.

If Tank could talk, he'd quote Ricky Bobby and say "I wanna go fast!" He loves long walks or runs (1–3 miles twice a day) and backyard play sessions with sticks or his favorite squeaky toys. While he doesn’t need a fenced yard, Tank would love one for extra playtime. If not fenced, he’s good on a tie-out and stays within boundaries when supervised. He’s low-maintenance when left alone, preferring to nap or watch squirrels, but he’d thrive in a home with another dog to play with!

He’s ready to bring love and laughter to a forever home! If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/


The adoption fee is $550. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Additional adoption info

Pet Haven is a foster-based rescue. Our animals live with foster families until they are placed in permanent homes and their foster families get to know the dogs and cats learning important information about the animals. For example, the foster family will know if the dog or cat is good with other animals or children, and will have a good idea of what kind of training, attention, and special needs the pet may require. This makes our foster families great resources for potential adopters!

More about this rescue

Our Mission
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.

Our Vision
A Minnesota where all pets live in safe, loving homes.

Our Values
Excellence in service and care; community; integrity; innovation; perseverance; compassion; a rewarding place to volunteer

How We Help
Spay/Neuter Initiative Program: Providing support to end pet overpopulation in Minnesota
Owner Surrender: Providing a safe haven for pet owners
Foster: Committed to finding forever homes for cats and dogs
Phoenix Fund for Special Needs: Providing veterinary care for animals in need of healing
What We Do
We help dogs and cats find homes with loving families through foster-based care. Every dog and cat lives with a foster family until they find their forever families. We provide all of their basic needs including proper food, veterinary care, behavior training, and supplies.

Through in-home fostering, we learn about each animal’s temperament, personality, likes/dislikes, and any medical needs. With this first-hand information, we can then find the right family for each dog and cat.

Our volunteers also educate the public on responsible companion animal care and represent respect for animals at all times. Whether we’re working with prospective new families, meeting people at public events, or socializing with friends and family, we encourage others to view and treat their pets as members of the family. We are their guardians, and they depend on us for companionship and care.


We spay/neuter prior to adoption.
We microchip all our Pet Haven Pets and remain as a secondary contact.
We make sure all pets are up to date on required vaccinations
We test for Heartworm and Lymes in all our dogs and are transparent in the results and treament
We test for FeLV/FIV and are transparent in the results. We believe that cats who test positive still deserve a chance at a quality home.
We do not euthanize animals unless they have untreatable health or behavioral conditions that deny them an acceptable quality of life or makes them a serious threat to people, other animals, or themselves.
How We Operate
We rely on adoption fees, tax-deductible donations, grants, and special events to keep our rescue operating. Our staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers have provided the passion and commitment to keep Pet Haven a safe haven for animals for almost 70 years.

We are committed to preventing pet homelessness through the SNIP Grant. Since 2005, we have granted more than $240,000 to organizations in Minnesota to support spay/neuter initiatives.
