Urgent Foster Homes Needed!

Must know by noon on Tuesday 7/8

🚨 URGENT FOSTERS NEEDED! 🚨 OUR SHELTER PARTNER IS IN CRISIS!

Our shelter partner is completely full and in crisis. They’ve been overpopulated for months, but now they are sheltering dogs and puppies displaced by the Texas flooding—and there is no more room.

Safe Haven Dog Rescue has the opportunity to bring some of these dogs here on Wednesday, but we need committed fosters by NOON on Tuesday (7/8) to save their lives.

💔 These dogs are on the euthanasia list for space. It’s absolutely heartbreaking, but you can help us change their fate.

While you foster, Safe Haven provides:
✅ Crate
✅ Food
✅ Toys & treats
✅ Blanket
✅ Leash & collar
✅ Vetting at our participating vet offices
You provide the love. ❤️

This is a wonderful family experience—one your kids will always remember.

Here are the dogs in desperate need:
🐶 Two female Terrier mixes, about 10 weeks old. Playful, sweet, and ready for loving foster homes.
🐶 138741 – Female, Terrier mix, 2-3 months old, 12 lbs
🐶 138719 – Female, Boston/Chihuahua mix, 1.5 years old, 17 lbs, very scared at the shelter (owner never reclaimed her). Friendly with other dogs and cats.
🐶 Evie – Female, 4-5 months old, 16 lbs. URGENT: on euthanasia list due to length of stay. Total sweetheart! 💔

📧 Email adopt@safehavendogsil.org ASAP if you’re willing to help!
