Holly's Animal Haven Dog Rescue.

After doing research on this rescue group, I have found they are well established. So, if you are in the Lawrence County OH area and are looking for a great companion, you might consider them. All of their pets are special and need homes. Please consider adopting a homeless pet today.


Adopting a Dog: If you wish to adopt a pet , please contact them (email preferred, located at the bottom of this post). Local families should meet their dog. Long distance adoption is permitted. ***HAH considers each dog to be like a member of the family. They are looking for inside homes for all of their wonderful pets and think that you will enjoy sharing your living space with a bundle of fur!


Adoption donations are listed on the animal's post. The cost helps offset vet expenses and includes altering, vaccinations, deworming, heartworm prevention, and anti-flea medication. They never charge more than the actual costs and in fact, they often operate at a financial loss.


Donations: They need: *Towels*leashes *collars *dog toys *flea spray *crates (used is fine) *dog beds (see below)


Holly's Animal Haven prefers Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. Who they are: They are a not-for-profit rescue in Ohio. Since they are in the country, some people think it is the perfect place to drop unwanted pets. Nothing could be further from the truth! Dumped animals are often malnourished, sick and/ or injured. With the help of friends and donations, they can nurse the animals, but the dogs need adoptive homes where they can receive the one on one attention they all need and deserve. **IMPORTANT** Many of their dogs are found in Wayne National forest or on the side of a remote country road where they have been abandoned.


They try to save space for such dogs and therefore can't accept owner turn ins if you can no longer keep your dog for some reason. However, they will be glad to help you try to work out the situation and keep your dog or post it on our site to help find a wonderful home. Please remember that they are limited on space but will be glad to help if they can.


If you can't adopt at this time, just come visit them and take a dog for a walk. Their dogs love to play catch. Advance notice is appreciated, so please email first. Remember, they have no shelter and operate at our home.
