Mission Statement
The mission of Rescue Haven Foundation ( formerly The FernDog Rescue Foundation) is to help dogs at risk by providing foster homes that will nurture their physical and emotional health, help locate the ideal forever homes for them while providing support to help assure that their stay in their new homes is permanent. In addition we focus on developing programs to promote pet adoption services and raise public awareness by providing community education of the issues surrounding animal rescue. We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
About This Cause
The Rescue Haven's founder, Fernando Camacho, has been working with animal rescue groups and shelters for his entire career as a dog behavior consultant and trainer. These dedicated groups typically rely solely on volunteers that work tirelessly trying to save as many animals as they possibly can. Unfortunately, these groups often lack the funding, time and resources to better accomplish their work. One of the things that hit Fernando the hardest was realizing that although the dogs staying at shelters were physically cared for, their mental health deteriorated daily. With each day a dog spends in an animal shelter, his chances for adoption decline due to the psychological effects of the typical shelter environment. It’s not the animal shelter’s fault – they do the best they can with what they have. The problem is that they have so little available to them to make any kind of change, and that’s why Rescue Haven Foundation was formed. We strongly believe that getting dogs out of shelters and into foster homes is the best way to get them prepared for their future homes. We also wanted to create a foster program that is set up to help dogs through any issues and provide a support system . Our foster program was crafted by dog trainers to insure that we have resources and training available to our fosters and those that adopt our dogs. This sets everyone up to succeed and also includes a support system for everyone involved with our dogs. In addition, the foundation develops dog foster, spay/neuter, and community education programs in order to make homeless dogs more adoptable, to empower the public with knowledge, and to help control pet overpopulation. Every rescue organization has specific needs and we strive to assist each one to become better equipped to meet its ultimate goal – saving and protecting animals.
