Happy Tails

When I first started doing doggy day outs with Vader, we instantly connected. He was so well behaved and had a smile on his face the entire time, whether we were on a walk, playing in my back yard, or getting a pup cup. I knew he was the dog for me after we were cuddling on my bed together one night and he closed his eyes with a smile still on his face and he started snoring, loud. I did a couple doggy day outs and one night in with Vader. After he stayed the night, I adopted him the next day. Vader adjusted really well into his new home. I had no problems with him when I first adopted him. It’s like he already knew he was home, forever.

He has a bunch of quirks that I just adore! He loves to talk when he’s playing with other dogs. He snores very loud when it’s bedtime. Vader likes to lay belly up with his four legs extended straight up in the air. Whenever there is food in his vicinity, his eyes get really wide with his ears slicked back, and he always is sitting ready to be given a treat (he does this really quickly, it’s super cute).

Get ready to smile – this update from Eva’s forever family is everything we hope for in a happy ending! “Eva joined our family on May 9, 2025 just 7 weeks after we lost our beloved Jake. We weren’t sure we were ready…until we saw her sweet face on SafeHaven’s page and fell in love. She’s our first puppy since 1982, and wow – what energy! But what Eva brings to our lives is immeasurable. She’s full of love (and kisses!), gets me outside every day, and has made our home feel whole again. Thank you SafeHaven for bringing us our angel. Eva is perfect and will be spoiled every single day.”

Sweet Oliver was adopted a few months ago – and he’s absolutely thriving with his forever family. We recently received this heartwarming update from his adopters: “Oliver has been so darling! He’s cuddly and playful. It seems he’s gotten quite attached to me, which brings me joy. He’s loving the stick and feather toys and eating wet food. And the vet says he’s very healthy.”

Pixel (previously Pixie) was adopted back in January! We got this great update on how she’s doing now: “We’ve been going on tons of walks, and I’ve learned that she absolutely loves swimming and playing with other dogs. She’s made a few furry friends along the way, including Merle, another rescue pup adopted from SafeHaven. Watching them play together has been such a joy. We’re getting ready to move to Seattle soon, and I’m excited to see how she adjusts to the new adventure.”
