Story
Meet Whimsey! Female
1 year old
30 pounds
Good with cats & dogs
Whimsey is a pocket-sized bundle of joy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This sweet girl is ready to find her true forever home. She was previously adopted from Safe Haven and returned through no fault of her own—sometimes the right match just takes a little time!
Whimsey is incredibly smart and loves to learn. She already knows 15+ commands, has started in agility and scentwork classes, and is working hard in obedience training—pretty impressive for such a young pup! She’s still polishing her leash manners and crate skills, but she’s working hard every day to become the goodest girl. She is fully potty trained and does a great job alerting when she needs to go outside. She loves fetch—though she’s still perfecting the “bring it back” part.
This energetic little lady would thrive in an active home, especially one interested in dog sports, running, biking, or any activity that keeps her brain and body busy. Mental stimulation is key for Whimsey—she’s clever, curious, and always ready for her next challenge!
Personal space? Never heard of it. Whimsey is a certified lap dog who loves being close to her people. She adores playing with other dogs and is always up for wrestling, tug, or zoomies. She plays submissively in groups and does wonderfully with canine friends. Her favorite game with friends is chase and this speed demon can out run most everyone. She’s also curious about the cats in her foster home and enjoys following them around, but she’s respectful and backs off when they let her know they need space.
Because Whimsey is young, smart, and has a very talented nose (she will sniff out anything left on the floor), she would do best in a home with older children or adults who can keep her safely stimulated and engaged.
If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, sporty, and endlessly entertaining companion, Whimsey just might be your perfect match
Our standard adoption fee is $465. We offer a $15 discount for adopters who pay by cash or check, making the adoption fee $450.
The adoption fee includes spay/neuter when age appropriate at one of our participating veterinarians, age-appropriate core vaccinations, fecal test, deworming, current on flea and tick preventative, and microchip.
To ensure the best match for both our dogs and adopters, we require a fully completed adoption application, a phone interview, and a meet-and-greet with the entire household. Applications will not be reviewed unless fully completed.
Submitting an application does not guarantee adoption and does not obligate you to adopt; it simply allows us to begin the review process.
To request an application or for additional details, please email adopt@safehavendogsIL.org
Please note that the breeds and sizes posted in this biography are educated best guesses and are not guaranteed.
Safe Haven Dog Rescue reserves the right to approve or decline any adoption application based on the best interest of the dog.
