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! ❤️🐾

She’s crate trained, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be spayed soon. She’s ready for a home where she can keep blossoming, exploring, and loving her people with her whole fluffy heart.
If you’re looking for a sweet, joyful companion to grow with your family, Jules just might be your girl.

Cardie is a sweet, snuggly pup who’s ready to find her forever home! She absolutely loves to cuddle—whether it’s with adults or kids—and is always up for some playtime with other dogs, big or small. She hasn’t been around cats.
Cardie is food-motivated, which makes training a breeze! She already knows how to sit and give paw, and her potty training is going great. She’s also crate trained and settling into a good routine.
This affectionate girl thrives on attention and would love a family who enjoys snuggles, play, and a loyal companion.
If you’re looking for a loving pup with a gentle heart and playful spirit, Cardie could be the perfect match!

BIG POPPY NEEDS A HOME (AND A STURDY COUCH)
Because everyone needs an 85lb lap dog in their life
Big Poppy is a 2-year-old Mastiff who wandered onto a porch in Detroit and just… stayed. He picked his people and never looked back — now he’s hoping someone picks him.
Let’s talk Poppy facts:
- 85lbs of pure goofy love
-Great with kids
- Great with dogs of all sizes
-Crate trained and sleeps through the night
-90% potty trained (belly band for the win while he finishes learning not everything needs his stamp of approval)
Fully vaccinated
Neutered
Microchipped
Will do literally anything for a treat
Big Poppy is still adjusting to life inside, but he’s catching on quick. He loves toys, zoomies, belly rubs, and walks — though he’s still working on the whole “don’t drag your human like a sled” part.
He’s the definition of a gentle giant with no clue how big he is. He’ll try to sit on your lap, jump when he’s excited, and melt your heart every single day.

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.

🐾💥HEY, I’M DAISY! WHO’S READY TO PLAY?!💥🐾
Once upon a time, I was a stray just trying to make it on my own—until one of the amazing foster humans at Haven of Love Dog Rescue scooped me up and showed me what love, snacks, and toys are all about. Now I’m one year old, healthy, and ready to zoom my way into my forever home!
I’m a 30-pound Puggle mix with big dog energy and a need for speed. I love to run, wrestle, and chase anything that squeaks. I dream of having a medium-to-large dog sibling who can keep up with me in a fully fenced yard—zoomies are serious business, people. I’m a little too rough for small dogs or cats… not because I’m mean, but because I think everyone wants to play like a linebacker.
Here’s the rundown from yours truly:
✅ I LOVE other dogs (as long as they’re ready to rumble!)
✅ I adore kids—especially the 8+ crowd who can match my energy
✅ Crate trained? Absolutely. I’ll chill in there like a champ
✅ Potty trained? You bet! But if I’m not crated, I need a potty break every 5–6 hours so I don’t have to cross my legs
✅ Obsessed with toys? Uh, is that even a question? YES. ALL OF THEM.
✅ Fast? I’m basically a blur in dog form 🏃♀️💨
Now let’s talk figure—I’m rockin’ my ideal weight right now (30 lbs of pure power), and while I love snacks (who doesn’t?), I’m counting on you to help me keep my curves in check so I can stay fabulous AND fast.
I’m looking for:
🔹 A fully fenced yard to unleash the zoom
🔹 A playful pup sibling who likes to roughhouse
🔹 Fun, active humans who are ready to be followed everywhere… especially if you have toys

Just 1.5 years old, Richey is still very much a puppy at heart. He’s sweet, silly, and just wants to love and be loved. He’s a perfect little pocket pittie at only 31lbs, and honestly? He’s as close to perfect as it gets.

✔️ Potty trained & crate trained
✔️ Fantastic on leash
✔️ Great in the car
✔️ Dog-friendly & needs a dog friend in the home

He’s been through more than any dog should, and yet he’s still so full of love. Please… if you’ve been thinking about adding a dog to your family — come meet him. Richey is ready to give his whole heart to someone. We just need that someone to show up.
Fostering a pet is a great way to provide temporary care for an animal in need. It also helps us free up space in our shelter for more animals. Fill out the application below.
