Are you ready to welcome the most amazing, friendly, and downright adorable furry friend into your life? Well, get ready, because Allie from Haven of Love is here to steal your heart!
This 2-year-old sweetheart is the total package - we're talking the whole nine yards, folks. Allie is super friendly and loves people of all ages. But that's not all - this social butterfly also gets along great with other dogs and even cats! Can you imagine the playdates and cuddle sessions in your future?
But what really makes Allie so special? For starters, she's already potty trained and has a serious love for the game of fetch. Seriously, this pup will bring the ball right back to you and drop it, ready for another throw. And when she's not zipping around the yard, Allie adores snuggling up for some quality cuddle time.
Despite her young age, Allie has a wonderfully calm and gentle demeanor that makes her the perfect companion, even for older dogs. She's the total package - loyal, loving, and endlessly entertaining.

Name: Jake
Breed: Pit-Lab Mix
Age: 5 Months (But, trust me, I'm wise beyond my puppy years!)
Hey there fellow doggies and hoomans! I'm Jake—a playful pup with an old soul. I may love a sprint and a tumble, especially when there are squeaky toys involved, but I also cherish the simpler things in life, like a good belly rub and the warm spot on the couch.
About Me:
I'm a gentleman through and through - potty and crate-trained, and pretty good on a leash, too. And, oh, how I love a good game with my squeaky toys in a fully fenced yard! But what truly melts my puppy heart, is a nice cuddling-up-with-humans session.
My Ideal Date:
Think of a lively game involving my legion of squeaky toys, followed by a gentle stroll through the park. We might spot a squirrel or two, and exchange a look of shared understanding. As dusk settles, we'll cuddle up, maybe under a tree, as I lend a sympathetic ear to all your stories.
What I'm Looking for in a Companion:
If you happen to have a playful pup who wouldn't mind sharing squeaky toys, awesome! A friend to wrestle and race with always sounds like fun. But what's most important to me is finding a hooman who's ready to give and receive oodles of love.
Health Update
No need to worry on that front—I'm UTD on my shots and neutered, too!
Hoomans hold a very special place in my heart, so I'm here, hoping to find my hooman match. Here's hoping for a lifetime of waggy tails, sloppy kisses, squeaky toy showdowns, and all the warm, cozy cuddles!

READY FOR ADOPTION
We're on the lookout for a special foster-to-adopt home for our gentle giant, Layla! This stunning 73-pound Pit Cane Corso mix has a heart as big as her size, and she's ready to bring her boundless love and affection into a forever home.
Layla was found abandoned and cruelly chained up, covered in over 30 bite wounds from her painful past. But despite the trauma she's endured, she is healing beautifully—both physically and emotionally. Now, she's eagerly awaiting the chance to experience the warmth and comfort of a loving foster-to-adopt home.
This sweet girl is house-trained, up-to-date on her vaccinations, and will be spayed soon. She needs a fully fenced yard (at least 6 feet high) and would do best in a home with older kids (12+ due to her size). Once Layla is spayed, we can finalize the adoption and make her a permanent part of your family.
Layla has so much love to give—now she just needs the right foster-to-adopt home to help her continue her journey to happiness. Could that be you? Reach out today to give Layla the fresh start she deserves, and prepare to fall head over heels for this gentle giant! ❤️🐾

Meet Mama Honey – A Sweetheart Ready for Her Second Chance!
This resilient 2-year-old girl has already been a hero—rescued from an abandoned building in Detroit, she lovingly cared for her seven puppies despite the odds. Now that all her babies have found their forever homes, it’s Honey’s turn to get the love and security she truly deserves!
- About Honey:
- Breed: Mixed breed, around 35-40 lbs
- Personality: Playful, affectionate, and full of love
- Great with kids (10+ due to her excitement level)
- Dog-friendly (did well with three foster dogs)
- Unknown with cats
- Prefers her own space while eating
- The Ideal Home for Honey:
Honey is heartworm positive, but don’t let that scare you away! We will fully cover the cost of her treatment and all medical expenses before adoption. During this time, she’ll need a calm, stable environment—ideally a pet-free home while she heals.
She might bark a bit when meeting new people but give her 5 minutes and you become her new playmate and best bud.
Be a Hero for Honey!
We’re looking for a foster-to-adopt family who can give Honey the love and care she needs.

Meet Bubba, the embodiment of undying hope and undeterred spirit. A 1.5-year-old American Bulldog-Pit Bull terrier mix, he was found wandering, unclaimed, his origins a mystery. But Bubba is a survivor, a beacon of resilience wrapped in a fur coat.
Don't let his past fool you. This guy is as sweet, calm, and disciplined as they come. He's fully vaccinated, soon-to-be neutered, and even potty-trained. Bubba is an absolute gentleman on walks, his leash skills showcasing his gentle nature and patience.
Bubba dreams of a home, of tender head scratches and ticklish belly rubs, and endless amounts of love. And he has a ton of love to give back, too. We're actively seeking a foster that could turn into a forever home for this loving soul. If you're looking for pure, unmetered devotion and a companion that embodies strength, then Bubba is waiting for you. It's time for his story to have the happy ending it deserves.

Ready To Make a Paw-Sitive Impact? Meet Donni, Your Potential New Furry Friend!
Open your heart and home to our lovable Adonis, also known as Donni! He's a charming 1-1.5-year-old who was found as a stray in Inkster. Though he went unclaimed, his spirit remains undeterred and he's eager to find his forever home.
Donni is incredibly friendly and is kid-approved! His heart is as big his personality, showing positivity towards other dogs and revealing his dog-friendly nature. However, his compatibility with our feline friends remains to be tested.
His unique mix of Husky, Border Collie, Pit bull, and possible Shepherd traits, complemented by his thick, long fur, make him a sight for sore eyes. Although he's not yet neutered, he's up to date on his vaccinations and showing great promise for quickly mastering potty manners in a home setting.
Our boy Donni is already a star in many ways - whether it's taking a car ride, enjoying bath time or even walking on a leash, he does it all but with a tiny bit of hesitation. Walks are a little scary for him but with some love, care and confidence-building, he will surely overcome his fears.
It's time for the drumroll - we're seeking a heroic foster or adoptive parent for Donni! Could that be you?

Allow me to introduce you to Benny, a portrait of profound courage and blossoming trust. Recently, Benny became part of our Haven of Love family, escaping an abusive past that sought to shadow his every move. Yet, even amidst fear and anticipation of harm, Benny's sweet and tender-hearted nature refused to be diminished.
Benny found a sanctuary in our care, surrounded by soothing cuddles and words of reassurance whispered into his ears. On the comfort of our couch, he discovered that he could leave behind a painful past, stepping into a world of gentle care and kindness.
With each trusting interaction, Benny allowed the scars of his past to fade, embracing the love and warmth in his present. His inspiring transformation is marked by the joy of a wagging tail and the affection of puppy kisses, tail-telling signs of newfound acceptance and trust.
Benny has made incredible strides. A leash which once terrified him now heralds the call of fun-filled walks. His behavior demonstrates impeccable manners, as he's free from any destructive behavior and quick to adapt to household rules.
Benny's experience with other dogs has given us reason to believe that a home with another furry friend could help support his growing confidence. However, we also feel he would flourish in the right environment with loving and patient humans. Benny's interactions with children aged 7 and older have been positive. His experience with cats remains unexplored. He is up-to-date on his shots and is neutered.
Benny's story speaks volumes about resilience, forgiveness, and the power of trust. As we witness his journey to recovery, we are constantly reminded of the power of patience and love. Now, we are eagerly looking for a caring foster or permanent home for Benny, a place that will support his growth, fostering his confidence as it unfolds. Benny deserves a family that understands his past and is excited to be part of his promising future.

Drum-roll, please! We're beyond excited to welcome the tail-wagging ball of joy, Mamacita, to our Haven of Love family!
Described by her foster mom as an irresistible "love bug", Mamacita is a charming reminder that home is where the heart is...and ideally where the couch is too! She's your ultimate chill companion - the epitome of a couch potato who wouldn't think twice before snuggling up next to you for a lazy afternoon.
When it comes to making friends, Mamacita's your girl! She gets along swimmingly with other dogs and stays poise around livestock. While she's a little curious about our feline friends, she's mindful to give them their space.
Charm aside, Mamacita also has a gentle streak that will melt your heart. She has shown nothing but gentleness around babies and older kids; she's the perfect family dog. Her friendly approach extends to strangers as well. Shyness? Unknown to Mamacita!
Like all of us, Mamacita is a work-in-progress, learning to balance curiosity with manners. She has an adventurous nose that loves to explore what's on the counters and partakes in some food begging when temptation strikes. But fret not, she's been doing better with both behaviors of late.
For all the clean freaks out there, you'll be glad to know Mamacita is fully house-broken! She's also crate trained. And when it comes to the leash, she's well-behaved and has a fantastic recall!
So, there you have it, folks. Mamacita is all things delightful and loving - a true gem with lots of love to give. Welcome to Haven of Love, Mamacita! We can't wait to see you blossom and find your forever home!
