Tillie's Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary
Our Animals

Meet our dogs

These wonderful dogs are living in foster homes while they wait for their forever families. Our fosters help us get to know each dog's personality, needs, and ideal home so we can make thoughtful matches.

In our care

Now in our care

Every dog here was pulled from a local shelter and is getting the time, care, and love they need. Want to help the next one? Open your home as a foster.

Looking for a foster home

Sadie

  • Female
  • Likely Cattle Dog / Border Collie mix
  • No cats

Sadie is pretty close to perfect! She's incredibly sweet, loves people, and is easy to handle.

She appears to be dog friendly and she's house trained. We see something of an Australian Cattle Dog and Border Collie mix in her: smart, active, and energetic, but also very happy to settle down for a long nap and plenty of snuggles. Out in the yard she's so focused on finding chipmunks, squirrels, and birds that she ignores Tillie, who's out there ready to play with her! Because of that high prey drive, Sadie needs a home without cats. Sadie is looking for a foster home. Could it be yours?

Ready for adoption

Ziggy

  • Small
  • Male
  • Shih Tzu mix
  • About 10 lbs

Ziggy is a sweet, playful little guy looking for a loving home of his own.

He's the very first rescue of Tillie's Safe Haven! Ziggy came into a local shelter as a stray about three weeks before he came home with us. His long hair was badly matted, so the shelter shaved him down. He's been living in a foster home while he waits for his forever family.

Tillie, the rescue dog the sanctuary is named for
The heart of it all

This is Tillie.

She’s the reason for all of it. Proof of what patience, safety, and a little love can do for a dog the world overlooked. Tillie’s Safe Haven carries her name so the next dog like her always has somewhere to land.

Where it all began

The rescues that started it all

These are personal rescues from over the years. Animals the family behind Tillie's Safe Haven fostered and adopted into their own home, long before the sanctuary began. They aren't organization placements; they're the reason this dream exists at all.
