Below are two examples of some of the “paw-some” pairs here at Animal Haven.

Marlon is the beloved 6 year old son of Jenny McIlroy. He is a Cairn Terrier who Jenny adopted through Colonel Potter Cairn Rescue Network 5 years ago.  Jenny says Marlon is beautiful and knows it! He uses that beauty to distract Jenny as he gets away with devilish, terrier antics.  She says she spends a lot of time exorcising his demons, but she wouldn’t have it any other way!

Molly, daughter of Marsha Harmon, is an Animal Haven alum. Her family says Molly is very smart, quickly graduating from basic obedience training to learn how to speak on command. Her hobbies include chasing rabbits and squirrels, getting belly rubs and sun bathing. She is best friends with her canine sister Zoey!

The donation drive was a great success, collecting many in-kind donations necessary to the shelter and raising more than $1,000 to help the homeless pets at Animal Haven. Check out these pictures of some of our adoptable dogs visiting the store on July 17th with a few volunteers and staff members:

He is friendly, playful, energetic, and lots of fun. He loves people and is always ready to make a new friend (and deliver lots of kisses!). Still a youngster, he will do great in obedience classes. Happy go-lucky Jensi would love to meet you and wiggle his way into your heart!

The dogs, and humans, had a blast! Animal Haven had dogs in the show as well as some adoptable dogs mixing and mingling with the crowd. Happily, some of our pets found fabulous homes, including the pappy / pom pictured!

Thanks to all the SASSY members and to all of the attendees.
