Urgent rescue
Abandoned and injured dogs are pulled from high-risk situations across Florida, including high-kill shelter deadlines.
Our story
Rescue with urgency. Care with patience.
Leona’s Brave Haven helps abandoned and injured dogs across Florida through urgent rescue, medical care, rehabilitation, and safe shelter.
The mission
Rescue dogs in urgent need, provide compassionate care and rehabilitation, and help them reach safe, loving homes.
The organization reports that it has saved more than 300 dogs and fights high-kill shelter deadlines twice a week. That cadence is part of the work, not a marketing countdown. When a shelter deadline arrives, dogs need people ready to act.
Through rescue videos, recovery journeys, and adoption updates, Leona’s Brave Haven shares dogs’ stories and invites people to support their next steps toward safety and loving homes.
Watch the work
Rescue videos and updates are published on the official YouTube channel, @leonabravehaven.
Founder
Linda Jenkins
Leona’s Brave Haven was founded by Linda Jenkins. Additional personal history, professional credentials, registration details, and a founding date will be published only when the organization provides them.
What can be shared today is the work itself: pulling dogs from urgent situations, arranging medical care, offering rehabilitation, and keeping them safe until a foster or adoptive home is ready.
Medical care and rehab
Dogs receive the veterinary care and rehabilitation they need before they are asked to start over in a new home.
Safe shelter and next steps
While they heal, dogs have shelter and a chance at foster care, adoption, and a more stable tomorrow.
Saving lives. Giving hope. Changing Tomorrow.
Support the next rescue with a gift, a foster home, or a few hours of help.
