Swamp Haven Rescue, Inc.

We are Swamp Haven and this is our story. Swamp Haven is an animal rescue organization that takes down-on-their-luck dogs and nurtures them back to a healthy mental and physical state, so they can find their forever home. Our goal is simple. We save innocent dogs that have been overlooked by society and provide short-term care including vetting (vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip and heartworm and flea prevention) and training to learn how to walk politely on a leash, play in a pack and live calmly and lovingly in their new home.It all started a few years back when we made the move from the Pacific Northwest to North Florida. We were surprised to learn how many dogs lose their lives in shelters each month around this area and felt compelled to do something. In the beginning of 2015, we founded Swamp Haven, a 501c3 nonprofit dog rescue organization that survives entirely on donations. Feel free to noodle around our site and learn more about our organization including ways to donate, how you can foster a dog and our adoption process.

    • “It takes a village” • “Rescue never sleeps” • “Shares save lives” • Well last night all of the above were most definitely true! Tori and I were doom scrolling last week, sending each other screenshots of all the dogs we want to help but can’t (we have a problem, we know ) and came across a post that a friend of a friend had shared on Facebook. It was a volunteer’s post from Heard County Animal Control in Georgia, a high kill rural shelter with only eight kennels. Long story short, that animal control reached out about the ittiest little mange babies that were in serious danger of euthanasia and offered to FLY them to us if we could save them. And if you know us at all, that was just an offer we couldn’t refuse! They were set to land in St. Augustine last night but the weather decided it had other plans and the plane was forced to divert to a different airport in Gainesville, so we hightailed it west for a middle of the night rescue pick up! We got back home after midnight and stayed up even later just trying to help these babies feel safe and settled. They are very shy and reserved, in obvious culture shock, are incredibly malnourished and in need of some serious TLC, but will be brave for treats and that’s always a good place to start A huge shout out to Pilots N Paws for their incredible aviation transportation rescue program, our hero pilot Elizabeth for ensuring the safety of her precious cargo even if it meant adding a few more hours to her already late night, and to Karissa Gregory for organizing this amazing rescue effort Introducing the newest Swampies and absoltuely delectable Georgia natives, Pimento Cheese and Praline. Both pups are available for adoption. They are super duper sweet and love other dogs. They are still working on learning the world is not a scary place, and will need an adopter willing to help them learn all the things!

Adoption Process

Our mission is to create a lasting relationship with you and your family. At Swamp Haven, our mission isn’t to just help down-on-their-luck dogs find their forever homes. Our mission is to create a lasting relationship with you and your family. Adopt happiness. Our adoption process is unique in that we work with you every step of the way to ensure that we’re placing the right dog with the right family. First, we like to have a phone chat to get a feel for the kind of dog that you’re looking for. Next, we have you fill out a foster application. After that, we come to your house with a carload of dogs for you to choose from and have you foster the dog of your choosing for a week to make sure that it’s a good fit. The last step is to finalize the adoption. And then congrats, you’re a new member of the Swamp Haven family and your happy tail has just begun! Our adoption fee is $300.
