Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ted!
Ted is an adorable 3-month-old Shepherd mix, and already at 30 pounds, he’s on track to grow into a big, lovable companion that anyone would ask for!
Ted is a playful, sweet, and intelligent puppy who’s still learning the ropes of potty training but improving every day with consistency and positive reinforcement. He’s crate-trained and feels comfortable eating and resting in his crate. At night, Ted only whines once to let you know he needs a potty break—what a thoughtful boy!
Ted is great with other dogs and thrives on their companionship. He loves playing and cuddling with his foster puppy sibling and respects the corrections of the resident dog. When it comes to cats, Ted is curious and may bark or follow them around, but he has shown no aggression. Ted is also good with kids but would do best with supervision due to his size and puppy energy—he’s not quite aware of how big he is and might accidentally bump into smaller children.
This big-hearted pup has some adorable quirks that will make you smile. With his large, clumsy paws, you can hear him coming across the room! He loves to “talk” and engage in conversation with his humans, showing off his vocal, expressive personality. Ted is a fast learner and enjoys being active, making him a great match for a home that can keep up with his energy level.
While Ted doesn’t require a fenced yard, he would benefit from an active household where he gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and stimulation. He loves running around outside, wrestling with other dogs, and playing with toys indoors. Ted doesn’t like being alone and would do best with a human or canine companion that he can see throughout the day to help him continue to build his confidence.
Though he’s a chatty boy who may not be ideal for shared walls, Ted’s loving and affectionate personality more than makes up for it. He adjusted quickly to his foster home after an initial period of nervousness, gaining confidence with the help of his foster family and dog siblings. He even loves to give his humans hugs and kisses—earning him the nickname “Teddy bear.”
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, snuggly, and energetic addition to your family, Ted might just be the perfect match for you!
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.

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!

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.
