About

Trish Burke, Founder of Pets Haven on why Pets Haven started:

“A desire to get into the animal industry led me to establish Pets Haven in May of 2003 when I purchased a pet supply shop in Woodend, Victoria.

I, along with staff and volunteers, have a strong passion for animals and a major dislike of how pet shops are generally managed and viewed, so we decided we wanted to make a difference.

Generally speaking, being in the animal industry really opened my eyes. There are so many abandoned animals, tragic stories, puppy farms and unwanted litters of both dogs and cats, that I could not stand by and allow this to continue.

At significant personal cost, I am proud to say we have homed thousands of both cats and dogs to loving homes, all temperament tested, vet checked, desexed, microchipped and vaccinated. We have rehabilitated hundreds of cruelty cases, taken care of pregnant animals and raised unweaned puppies and kitten, placing all into loving homes.

The dream of establishing a “Pets Haven Pro Life Animal Shelter” finally came to fruition in April 2007 and is ongoing today. Currently, we operate out of a shop front and we really do require a larger facility.

Our dream shelter would enable so many more lives to be saved and not to mention, the human lives Pets Haven also reaches out too.

Recently Pets Haven Foundation was registered with governing authorities. We are awaiting approval in becoming a registered Charity with DGR status.

In essence, Pets Haven staff, volunteers, foster carers and I love all animals. We want to make a difference to the lives of companion animals and responsibly rehouse them back into the community where they belong. We also want to educate our community in the importance of responsible pet ownership.

Adoption details

Pets Haven is a Pro-Life Animal Shelter.

Our aim is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home orphaned and homeless animals.

We do not and will never euthanise animals for economic reasons.

Unlimited veterinary care will be provided for any animal that comes into our care.

We temperament test every animal prior to accepting them into our shelter. If we accept a dog with a mild behavioural problem (such as jumping up, pulling on the lead etc) we will address this at the advice of a qualified dog trainer.

Euthanasia will only occur if:

On the advice of a veterinarian, they are diagnosed incurably ill and the prognosis is not favourable

If the animal displays a temperament which is deemed high risk.

We believe in responsibly giving all life a chance.

Bindi

American Staffordshire Terrier

Sweet girl

Meet Bindi FRIDAY 23rd November at 302-304 Canterbury rd, Bayswater Nth. Bindi will be at our clinic, waiting to meet her forever people. As we are a shelter, you must actually attend the clinic and meet the animal and our staff prior to adoption. We do not adopt out animals over the phone or via email enquiries. This pup is available on Friday, we will not hold her for a future or earlier date, she will only be available another day if she is not adopted on Friday. Bindi is a 9 week old Amstaff pup. Our very cheeky and happy girl has been in our care since she was only a few days old and she has been bottle fed and loved by her foster family from then. She is a very special, friendly little pup who has grown up around other animals and thinks she is the boss of her small universe. Whoever adopts her is going to receive lots and lots of laughs and love. She is such a smoocher and very quick to learn new things too. Bindi is crate trained and has slept inside with her foster family all the time, she has even joined foster mumma at work, she is looking for a home where she is welcome to spend plenty of time inside with her family. She would not cope with a backyard lifestye. Our little monkey should attend puppy preschool, where she will learn the basics and how to socialise with other pups and people. This should be followed by formalised obedience training. We want our pups to go to the BEST homes, and the best home will ensure their pup is given every opportunity to succeed in life, by giving them the tools to do so. If you already have a dog, please bring them with you if possible, to meet Bindi. She has been: Vet checked Desexed Vaccinated Microchipped 956000010546614 Wormed and flea treatment given Adoption fee $500.00 Every item purchased at our shelter or clinic goes directly back into helping the animals in our care. In light of this we have prepared an adoption pack for your new dog. The adoption pack is not negotiable. (for more information regarding our adoption pack please click on the link below) https://tinyurl.com/ybctm7gm What time should I arrive? We cannot advise you on a time to arrive, as some people arrive prior to our opening hours and wait in our carpark, or sometimes minimal people arrive. We do suggest that you arrive in the morning early rather than later in the afternoon. If anyone is rude or abusive to our staff, they will be asked to leave. We cannot control what times a person arrives or how many people arrive to adopt. Can I pay for the dog over the phone or put a puppy on hold? No, we are adopting out live animals, it would be highly irresponsible to adopt out an animal without everyone meeting. Are our puppies aggressive? NO, they are only babies and are not aggressive What are they blended with? We are unsure as our animals are rescued. Are the pups good with children? We need to ask if your kids are okay around pets. Our puppies are fostered in loving homes, they really are only babies who have no issues. Though like all puppies, they will benefit from training and a loving family home. What if I have another dog? To avoid disappointment, please bring your dog with you to the adoption event, so we can see them interact. Can I see the puppy before the adoption day? No, the puppies are only available for viewing on the day of adoption. All of our dogs come with two free behavioural training vouchers. WEB www.petshaven.org.au First Option ~ is Adoption
