My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bella is 50 lbs of sweetness! She is believed to be a 7 year old flat coated retriever mix. Bella is housebroken and loves cats and gets along well with dogs.

She is a very shy girl. If you want a dog that is quiet, calm and not energetic at all, she is your gal. She would do best in a home with other calm dogs and older children (10 and older) due to her shyness. She does not need a crate and would do best in a home with someone who is ok with no crate.

She pulls while walking as she is more comfortable inside than outside, but we are working on her walking manners. Since walking on a leash is a work in progress a home with a fenced in yard where she can freely roam when she needs to go outside would be great. Bella is looking for her forever family who has patience with a shy dog and a lot of love to give.

Our standard adoption fee is $295 cash or check and $300 credit card ($5 processing fee). It includes spay/neuter when age appropriate at our participating vets, age appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative,1st vet visit at one of our participating vets, and micro-chipping.

We must have an application, conduct a phone interview, and meet your entire family to approve an adoption. Please email safehavendogsIL@yahoo.com for an application or additional details.

Please note that the breeds and sizes posted in this biography are educated best guesses and are not guaranteed.

Please consider becoming a foster home while you search for your new best friend. We need foster homes - pounds are overflowing with puppies and adult dogs that are at-risk and need help. We can only rescue as many as we have foster home commitments. Fostering is a rewarding experience for your family.
