There are many policies and procedures involved
in adopting a pet, and at times it can seem to be a
drawn-out process. But there’s one simple reason for
this: Safe Haven wants to make sure the pets, many
whom have been saved from illness, abuse and death, are placed in permanent, loving
homes where they will be spoiled and pampered for the rest of their lives. Although
there’s no way to determine for certain whether a potential adopter can provide the
perfect home, we try hard, which means we do a lot of work in screening our applicants.
If an adoption application is denied, the most likely reason is that we received more than
one application for that particular pet. We can only choose one home for each pet and
we need to choose the one where we feel that particular pet will be happy, safe and
loved. Not all pets will do well in every home situation.
When there is only one application received on a pet, the application
can be denied for one of these reasons:
• Inaccuracies
on the application. Yes, we can tell!
•T
he adopter’s situation is
where its safety is in question.
unsafe. Safe Haven will not place a pet in a home
• It isn’t a good match. You might think Fluffy is the perfect cat for you, but Safe
Haven may think otherwise. We know the pet and what it needs in terms of its
perfect home. If it isn’t a good match, don’t get mad. Talk to the Safe Haven staff
about another Safe Haven pet that might be even more perfect for you.
•Y
our references don’t recommend you. If your references
can’t recommend you as a pet owner, Safe Haven will deny the
application.

• Red flags. Okay, this is the single biggest reason shelters reject
applicants, even though it’s a completely subjective one. If an
applicant lies to us, argues with or bullies the shelter staff, or
otherwise antagonizes us, that’s it. If an applicant treats staff
poorly, will they then treat the pet poorly?
Remember, Safe Haven doesn’t exist to supply people with pets;
our mission is to find the best qualified home for needy pets.

lives will be touched for the better through our shelter and
other programs. For detailed information on any of the options

a life-income arrangement by which you can choose to receive a variable or
fixed income, beginning immediately, for the rest of your life or for a specified
term. There is no limit on the number of beneficiaries you can name in a CRT,
and the number of animals you can help by naming Safe Haven as a beneficiary
of such a program is literally endless.
Life Insurance Policies You can name Safe Haven as either the primary
or joint beneficiary of your life insurance policy; you can also transfer
ownership of a paid-up policy to the Safe Haven Humane Society, which allows

The Birdies for Charity program
is sponsored by the John Deere
Corporation in conjunction with the John
Deere Classic golf tournament (July 6-12,
2015) and provides a fun way to make
your donation to Safe Haven go further. The basic idea is that you contribute a
penny for each birdie that is made by the
players. Last year, a penny pledge would
have resulted in a $20.40 contribution
(2040 birdies were made). You can also
contribute a fixed amount of any size. On
the odd chance you actually guess the
correct number of birdies, you could win
a very nice prize, up to a new automobile.
Stay tuned for more information and
pledge forms later this spring.

Safe Haven Dog
Becomes a Therapy Dog
By Barb Jansz and Michelle Polly
After retiring from 30 years in Special Ed at River Ridge School District, Becky Pierce
found time for volunteer work. She soon began her work as an Honor Flight volunteer in
Dubuque. When that disbanded, she began to look for another volunteer opportunity.
After her old dog died, she began looking more carefully at the photos of dogs on Safe
Haven’s Facebook page. One day, the beautiful eyes of little Ralphie caught her attention.
The cute Yorkie-Poodle mix was described as saying he would make a wonderful Therapy
Dog. That was a new, but intriguing thought for her.
Those words stayed with Becky and upon adopting Ralphie, Gwen told her about a
Therapy Dog International class at Carlson’s Canine Camp in Freeport. Soon, she and
Ralphie were enrolled in the class. There she met two Safe Haven Board Members who
were also enrolled with their dogs, and a commuting friendship between the ladies and
their dogs began. The class prepared the dogs for a Therapy Dog International test which would allow
them to be
certified for
therapy work in
hospitals, nursing
homes, library and
school programs. The six week
course ends
with a TDI test,
which has 13
individual testing
exercises
designed to
simulate visitations
at a facility with
a therapy dog. It
reflects realistic
situations a therapy dog may encounter. Becky wasn’t sure if Ralphie was ready to pass
the Therapy Dog test, but he did -with flying colors - as did his new friends, Sterling and
Ollie!
Animal Assisted Therapy is a healthcare ministry, where the dogs get to deliver therapy
that warms the heart, lowers blood pressure, and takes the mind off pain, and just plain
feels good! Studies have shown the benefits include decreasing stress and depression,
slowing the heart rate, calming fears and even shortening the length of stay. It also
improves the job satisfaction of health care workers too.
Becky and Ralphie are enjoying their Therapy Dog work at the Elizabeth Nursing Home
and the Midwest Medical Center in Galena. They are also a familiar site on the streets of
Elizabeth as they enjoy their walks through town. Birthday Party
Raises $500+
for Safe Haven
For my 60th birthday, I decided to host a
party for friends and family. I planned to
include a “No gifts, please” request on the
invite. But I also know that it’s difficult to
honor such a request. (I’ve been guilty
myself of bringing a gift despite a “No gifts,
please” request.)
Knowing that most guests would like
to bring a gift to a milestone birthday
celebration, I wanted to channel that good
intention to a charity. I asked my guests to
consider making a donation to one of two
charities, including Safe Haven, in lieu of
bringing a gift for me.
Well, it worked! We raised $1,100 that
evening with half designated for Safe
Haven. My husband, Gary, and I are very
familiar with the good work performed
at the shelter because we adopted one of
our dogs from Safe Haven.
We had lots of fun on my birthday eating
great food, toasting good times with
longtime friends and dancing to live music.
Adding to the fun -- knowing that the
animals at Safe Haven would benefit from
the celebration, too.
Submitted by Barb Jansz and Sterling, and Michelle Polly and Oliver with special thanks to
Carolyn Norton, for her encouragement in getting involved with TDI.
More information on Therapy Dog Training:
I am writing this article to encourage
others who are hosting a special event to
consider asking guests to make a donation
to Safe Haven rather than bring a gift.
The gesture will be easy, fun and very
rewarding – for you and your guests.

Mail Bag
It’s been a busy two days. Gidget has been
so good. Some jealousy issues between
Gidget and Misty. I am going to go out to
a local trainer today and ask about what I
can do to help the jealousy issues.
Hi Gwen!
Sorry I have not sent pictures earlier. We
have been so busy with Grace! She is
adjusting very well. It took her a couple
days to calm down but now she is making
herself right at home. It seems as though
she has always been a part of our family.
She is still learning how to play nicely with
my little Gus (Auggie!) and my brother’s
two little puppies. Sometimes I think she
forgets how big she is! We introduce them
in small doses and so far it’s going well.
This morning was the most beautiful thing
I ever saw with any dog. I wish I had it on
video. Gidget got up first this morning so I
had her in my chair giving her lots of love.
Then Misty came out, of course Gidget
jumped down to greet her. At this time
Misty jumped up in my chair.The chair can
only handle one dog comfortably at a time.
So I am petting Gidget while she is on the
floor in front of the chair and at the same
time petting Misty. All of a sudden Gidget
stood up on her hind legs in front of us
and put her nose in front of Misty, (before
this they would have growled at each other
while I was in the chair wanting attention),
then she took her paw and raised it at
Misty as to touch her gently, they both
got really close and very calm. It was so
special it brought tears to my eyes and still
does. It was as if Gidget was saying please
let me be friends so I can stay here too.
It was beautiful.Thank you again for this
very special dog Gidget, I am going to send
some pictures soon.
I have been meaning to send a picture of
Reckless (formerly known as Banjo) in
the green scarf. He immediately fit right
into the family, two legged and four legged
(except maybe one of the cats thinks he
may not be an asset to the family) when
we brought him home in September. First
night at home he jumped onto my bed
with his big brother, Rebel (red scarf), and
has been making himself at home in his
forever home ever since. At the dog park
Reckless loves to run but always looks
back to make sure he knows where I
am. He is great when at work with me and
we are just beginning to practice agility,
but he maybe too fast for me! Thank you
to Safe Haven for rescuing Reckless and
all the others. Elizabeth B.

Grace has been very busy this summer.
She has been on our pontoon (a couple
times!), and visited our family in Lake
Delhi. She loves to be around the water
and always wants to chase squirrels. Grace
is getting better at going on walks and her
favorite play time is chasing her tennis ball
in our big, open field. She has been the
sweetest addition to our family!

This is Charlie “formerly Dobbey “ that
we adopted from Safe Haven two and a
half years ago. It was the best decision we
have made. We just came in from a cold
brisk walk. Brrrrr, cold outside..

Darla here. I wanted to thank you for
letting me be adopted a couple of weeks
ago. I have a wonderful yard that I get to
explore. I also have a swing I sit in with my
mom and she reads while I peruse my yard.
If it isn’t too hot or raining we spend time
in the yard for my new mom does a lot
of work in her yard. She also takes me for
wonderful walks around town. We meet
up with other people but I am a little shy
around them yet.
I have adjusted very well to my new home. I have my own bed that I sleep in at night. My
mom lets me lay on her lap while she knits or reads.
I went to the doggie beauty parlor. I got a bath and a little trim. The next day I went to
see the veterinarian and she was really nice and even gave me a treat. Except for a small
infection in my year, I was pronounced healthy. Mom has been putting drops in my ear to
clear up the infection and I will go back to see the vet in a couple of weeks to make sure
it is all well.
Thank you for taking such good care of me while I stayed at Safe Haven and my mom says
thank you for letting her adopt me.
Gwen -- I just wanted to drop you a
quick note to tell you how much I LOVE
TINKERBELLE! She is such a little
love! Thank you so much for letting me
adopt her! When she first arrived at the
house, she ran as fast as she could through
all the rooms with her little tail wagging!
She really loves it here and she helps to
make my house a home. I think I needed
her more than she needed me :)
Darla and Judy C.
I’m not sure if you will remember them,
but Taylor and Belle were the first 2
kitties adopted from your new facility. As
you can see this brother and sister still
care about each other very much and
Thank You for making sure that they got a
great home.
We all wish you a very Merry Christmas,
Mike, Beth, Taylor & Belle
Thanks again,
Tinkerbelle’s New Mom, Karen
PS -- Tinkerbelle is now Sadie (after my
Grandma!)
Here’s a picture of Simon (adopted in
2011). He and Sadie love to run and play,
inside and out. He is so adorable, loves
everyone, also going for car-jeep rides.

Hi Gwen,
We are always thrilled to hear about the
lucky ones we find homes for. Won’t you
please send us a note and a picture and tell
us how your pet is doing?
I’m sorry I’m so late with photos of dear
Gromit, aka Rocket, but here they
are. We’re enjoying every minute with
Rocket and he has fully adapted to being
part of the crazy Lockhart family. He is
such a wonderful addition to our entire
family. One thing we’ve found out about
Rocket is that he is terrified of rain and
storms, hence, the scratch on his nose in
the photos. I’m not exactly sure what he
tried to crawl under to get away from the
rain, but he scratched his nose during the
process. He hasn’t been alone during rain
or storms and he does settle down, but it
takes a very long time. The poor little guy
is terrified.
Take care and thank you for giving us an
opportunity to have Rocket in our family. Deb
Hi there!
Merry Christmas to All –
Pierre has been with us since April,
2014. He is a love and we love him. He’s
everybody’s buddy and loves to play and
run, almost with a smile on his face.
We are enclosing pictures and our
donation – thank you for all the good
work you do at Safe Haven.
Debby P.
Pearly Sue re-named Buster is doing
excellent at the Kramer household. Buster gets along with her older sister
Bella. They love to play tug of war. Buster has a zest for life, playing, hiking
and running. We have been to Utica &
Matthiessen State parks in Illinois where
we hiked for 6 miles. We recently enjoyed
going to the Maquoketa Caves hiking. Buster enjoys taking rides in the car. She
is extremely well behaved in the car. When we ask Bella & Buster if they want to go for
a ride they get so excited! They love looking out the car windows. Buster is a little shy
around bigger dogs, we work on that by playing with other dogs as much as we can. We
walk 4 – 6 times a week about 1 -2 miles each time. Buster loves it! She is fantastic with
children of all ages; she is patient and kind with them. Thank you Safe Haven for all the
work you do for animals. We love Buster and wanted to share with you that she is doing
awesome! She was a wonderful addition to our family and we love her so much. She
gets plenty of kisses and hugs at our house.
Rorrie & Bridget
Dear Auntie Gwen –
Since I was adopted, I have acquired a new
brother, his name is Midnight, he is from
Tennessee. He is 4 years old. We get along
and make sure all the squirrels stay out
of the yard. Just to let you know, I always
have a lap to lay in when I am tired. So
again I want to say “thank you”.
Love, Mikey (on right)
