Mission and Vision
Our mission is to rescue and advocate for animals in need. The ones who don’t have a voice, yet need one the most. We vow to love and protect the abandoned and mistreated and we will work to ensure their safety and well-being through compassion, care, dedication and hard work. We are committed to working with our community and partners to provide our animals with a better life.
Adoption Policy
ADOPTION PROCESS
Now that you have found your furever family member, we get to work together to complete your adoption. We at Furever North Haven are so glad to be a part of the completion of your family.
Once it has been decided that you will be adopting an animal, an adoption coordinator will work with your foster to send you the contract. All of our adoptions are processed through Shelterluv software and are done online. Please ensure that the phone number you would like everything sent to is accurate and that the foster has it correct for the adoption coordinator.
The adoption contract and payment link come through as a text to the number provided on your application. If that does not work, it can be sent to your associated email to complete. Before you can take your new furever family member home, you must complete the contract and payment. The adoption coordinator will then reach out to the foster and let them know everything is completed.
After completion, medical records will be sent within 2 weeks via email, and you will receive your receipt of payment and the adoption contract that you signed. The contract will be summarized over the next to sections of this guide.

*Please keep in mind that pups need time to decompress and become acclimated to their new environments. Sometimes they have just come to us or have been with us for some time, but this is common with all pups moving to new homes. There are many things that you may see in this time of decompression such as timid behaviors, lack of appetite, and testing of boundaries. There are also more frustrating behaviors like a slide in potty training, resulting in urinating or defecating in the home.
Many of these behaviors will change as a pup learns their new routine and family. They need patience, compassion, and most of all, time to learn they are safe and in a home they can trust. Once they have that time, you will begin to see their true self shine through. This process is not quick, it can be weeks before this comes to pass, but your new pup is worth it and will thank you for it.
