My personality

My story

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

Hi, my name is Waffle!

If you're looking for a lovable, goofy pup with soft fur and a heart full of love, I might just be your perfect match! I’m about 2 to 3 years old, weigh around 55 pounds, and am likely a Black Mouth Cur possibly mixed with Shar Pei—and about 55 other breeds! I'm your classic Heinz 57.

I’m neutered, housebroken, and sleep soundly in my crate at night. I also crate well when left alone during the day.

While I’m not currently living with children, based on my gentle demeanor, my foster family believes I’d do great in a home with respectful kids. I get along wonderfully with dogs of all ages and sizes and would thrive with a confident canine buddy by my side.

I’m not shy at all—I'm happy to greet new people and dogs with a wag and a smile. I’ve just started discovering the joy of toys and playtime, and I’m having a blast learning how to be a carefree dog.

I’m also not bothered by loud noises or sudden sounds—I'm a pretty steady guy. However, I do have a high prey drive, so watch out squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and especially cats—here I come! Because of that, I’d do best in a home without small animals or feline friends.

I’m learning to walk nicely on a leash and improving every day. With a little guidance, love, and a consistent routine, I’ll make the perfect, loyal addition to your family.

Could I be the Waffle to your morning? I can't wait to meet you!


Our standard adoption fee is $375 if paid by cash or check, or $385 if paid by credit card (which includes a $10 processing fee). This fee covers spay/neuter surgery when age appropriate at one of our participating veterinarians, age-appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative, and microchipping.

In order to be considered for adoption, we require a fully completed application, a phone interview, and a meet-and-greet with your entire family. Please note that submitting an application does not commit you to adopting and does not guarantee approval—it simply allows us to begin the review process.

If you are interested in adopting or would like additional information, please email us at adopt@safehavendogsIL.org to request an application.

Keep in mind that the breed and size listed in each dog's biography are our best educated guesses and are not guaranteed.

Safe Haven Dog Rescue reserves the right to refuse the adoption of any dog or puppy to any applicant for any reason.

More about this rescue

We are a small 501 C3 nonprofit rescue located in Elburn, Illinois. In 2014, Safe Haven Dog Rescue became its own non-profit. We are licensed by the Illinois Agriculture Department.

The majority of our dogs and puppies are pulled from Kill Pounds and Shelters in Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, and Illinois. We also accept local medical cases as often as our finances will allow.

Please take a few moments to read the stories about the dogs and puppies we have available for adoption. We disclose everything we know about the dogs, sometimes we know a lot often we know only that they were strays, thrown away on the side of the road, in the woods, or found in abandoned houses.

While we don’t always know their past we are certain that their future is much brighter.

We hope that you and your family are part of the future…..
