Safe Haven Dog Rescue

We are a Tax-Exempt 501(c) 3 Organization Created in 2012 by volunteers to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for homeless dogs and puppies.


Safe Haven Dog Rescue, is a Tax-Exempt 501(c) 3 Organization, created by volunteers to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for homeless dogs and puppies. The majority of our dogs and puppies are rescued from Kill Pounds and Shelters in Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Illinois. We are all foster based, meaning we do not have a “shelter”. We work very hard to find local rescue groups within these states to pull the dogs into their program while we coordinate transportation and placement into foster homes.
Please take a few moments to read the stories about the dogs and puppies we have available for adoption and foster as well as our success stories. We are certain to disclose everything we know about the dogs, sometimes we know a lot often we know only that they were strays, thrown away on the side of the road, in the woods, or found in abandoned houses. While we don’t always know their past we are certain that we will make their future is much brighter.
We hope that you and your family are part of our future…..
