URGENT
Foster Needed
OK, everyone I know we just posted for a foster for another (and got huge response and he is safely in a foster home!)... This darling little girl is in a tribal holding center on the reservation in Utah. We desperately need a Foster so we can pull her into Herding Haven rescue. Please if you are able to foster her even short term send an email to [email protected]. If you can share her far and wide, that would be fantastic. She is scheduled to be euthanized next week without a rescue commitment. We cannot let that happen!!!

***UPDATE***
Thank you SO much for all the post sharing and offers to foster! We found him a temporary spot and are now working through applications for a more permanent foster home (one that can foster him until he finds his furever family).
We do have 2 other pups that will be posted shortly that are also in need of fosters. So, please consider fostering one of those if you are able!

Thank you again! 🐾❤️
****URGENT****
FOSTER NEEDED!
This darling little 10 wk old double merle pup is arriving in Salt Lake City tomorrow and his foster just backed out on us! We are desperately trying to find a temp foster for this little guy (or better yet a permanent foster). He is sweet and very friendly. He is deaf and may have some visual impairment in his left eye. He has had his first set of puppy shots and has been dewormed. Please send a PM to Herding Haven or email [email protected] if you can foster this little pup.

***URGENT FOSTER NEEDED***
Jasper is in an Utah shelter with an eye injury that needs medical attention. He is approximately 3 yr old and appears to be an Aussie mix. He is on the small size (just about 30 lb) and very sweet and friendly. Great with other dogs (working on a cat test). Can someone foster this boy so we can get him out of the shelter and get his eye treated? Please PM Herding Haven or email [email protected] if you are interested in fostering this baby!

A temporary foster was found for Flash but we are still in need of a more permanent foster (or, better yet, an adopter). As you can see in the video he is a gentleman with other dogs. HIs temporary foster says he is a very sweet boy. He is very thin d/t the kennel stress. But, a steady diet of nutritious food will take care of that. 💙🐾

****UPDATE****
A temporary foster was found and sweet Flash is out of the shelter. Thank you for all the shares! We are still looking for a more permanent foster (or adopter for Flash). So keep sharing and, if you have any interest fostering please contact [email protected]

🚨🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED — UTAH 🚨🚨

Flash is a young (~2-year-old) Border Collie who is deteriorating quickly in a rural shelter in Eastern Utah. 💔 Like many herding dogs, the confinement, noise, and chaos of a shelter environment are proving to be too much for him.

Flash has become so stressed in the shelter that he is spinning in circles repeatedly in his kennel, injuring himself, and losing weight rapidly. He desperately needs out of the shelter and into a safe, calm foster home NOW.

And here's the important part: Once Flash is out of his kennel, he is a completely different dog. ❤️ He is happy, friendly, and social. He has tested well with other dogs and was afraid of the cats he met in the shelter.

Herding Haven wants to save Flash. We really do. But we cannot pull him without a foster.

🏠 WE NEED A FOSTER IN UTAH.
⏰ We need one urgently.

If you can open your home to Flash — even if you have questions about what fostering involves — please reach out. You could literally be the reason this sweet boy gets a second chance.

📩 Email: [email protected]
📱 Or send Herding Haven a PM here on Facebook.

Please share Flash. Even if you can't foster him, someone on your friends list might be the person who can save his life. ❤️

🌮 MEET PACO THE TACO! 🌮
Tiny package. BIG personality. And the cutest smile! ❤️

TACO is a pint-sized Heeler mix who may only weigh 20 pounds, but he has a personality big enough to fill the room!

At approximately 1 year old, Taco is the perfect combination of smart, affectionate, loyal, and just plain adorable. He can be a little shy when he first meets someone, but once he realizes you’re a friend, he warms up quickly and his sweet personality comes shining through.

And speaking of shining through… Taco has the most adorable smile! 😁 When he gets excited or happy, he’ll flash you his signature grin, making it nearly impossible not to smile right back. It’s one of those little quirks that will have his forever family falling head-over-heels for him!

🌮 Taco's Herding Resume:

🐕 Dogs: Yep! Taco enjoys canine friends and does well with other dogs.

🐈 Cats: Also yes…with a disclaimer. Taco can coexist with cats, but his Heeler instincts occasionally whisper, “That cat isn't going where I think it should go. Better fix that.” 😂 He may try to herd the household feline, so a cat who is tolerant of a tiny four-legged supervisor would probably be his best match.

🏠 House manners: Housebroken! Because Taco is classy.

🛏️ Crate: Crate trained! He understands that his crate is his little Taco Lounge.

🦮 Leash skills: Currently a work in progress. His foster family is teaching him that leashes and walks are fun (not scary)

🧠 Brains: Plenty! Taco is one smart little cookie and will thrive with a family that enjoys teaching, training, and keeping his clever Heeler brain busy.

❤️ Cuddle factor: High. Once you're in his inner circle, Taco is all about his people.

✂️ Medical: Neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped.

At just 20 pounds, Taco is perfectly sized for adventures, couch snuggles, and supervising whatever you're doing. He’s got the loyalty of a Heeler, the brains of a genius, and the smile of a dog who has just discovered that YOU are his favorite person.

So if you’ve always wanted a Heeler but thought, “Gee, I wish they came in a convenient travel size…”

GOOD NEWS. THEY DO.

🌮 Taco is being fostered in East Central Indiana
Send a PM to Herding Haven or email [email protected] if you would like to meet Taco.
