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.

Meet Bing Crosby

Bing and his love for a good cozy spot on the couch: The epic series continues. Bing is the happiest, wiggliest boy and he is still up for adoption! Bing is super dog friendly, loves to play, loves all people and has even met a few children and done well. He is crate and house trained and knows basic commands.    Bing has had two fainting like spells since being in our care, but lots of testing later, even wearing a special suit for 24hrs to watch what his heart did all day, and the results are in - healthy boy alert! Bing loves to sunbathe, and would stay out all day if you let him. His foster family jokes that he is “solar powered” and charges all day just to become a total goofball each evening. (He has three foster siblings he parties with every day!)    Looking for a guy who will make you laugh, cuddle with you on the couch, sunbath by your side, and is a social butterfly?! We got the tripod for you! Message us here or reach out 904-392-3416 to adopt a very good boy.

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.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
