Story
Hi, I'm Kevin! I came up from Texas in April with my two sisters. I am a very sweet and snuggly puppy. I am around 5 months old and and currently around 14 pounds. I currently live with my foster family, and get a long great with other dogs big and small. I love to play with other dogs, but I also just like laying in the sun. They tell me I'm going to be the "perfect size" since I probably won't get bigger than 25 or 30lbs. I love adults and kids. I live with two 4 year olds and one 9 year old. They give me a lot of love and I am totally fine with it. At night I sleep in my crate at night and when my foster family is out of the house. At first I cried a little in my crate, but if I get some playtime or exercise before bed, I sleep great in my crate! My foster family did notice white noise helped me sleep better! I have mastered the command sit, and am working on leave it. I love treats and I am very smart. I love to play with my toys and lay on my dog bed with a good bone. I also love to lay with my foster family on the couch! Potty training is still a work in progress as I am just a baby. I do go potty when I am let outside but will have occasional accidents, especially if not closely supervised or if there’s a change in routine, but with consistency and patience, I am making steady progress! Right now I am in a home with a fenced yard, and I love to run and play. So far I'm walking nicely on my leash. My perfect family would continue to help me learn and grow with patience and love. I would be happy in another home with a dog, but my foster family thinks I would be okay being the only dog as well. I haven't been around cats, but im pretty small, so I don't think I would intimidate them. Check out my pictures and yes I really am that cute! 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.

Story
Howdy folks, my name is Oscar! I am a 9 year old, 14.3 pound, Chihuahua mix and I am looking for a new home to love me! I'm a chill little guy, and have you seen my teefers?! I'm told they make me very handsome. I love to snooze, and I'm a big fan of getting pets. I am coexisting fine with the other dogs in my foster home, and I'm okay with strangers, albeit a bit reserved. I do have my own opinions so I'd probably do best with older, respectful children. I do well spending time in my pen, I walk well on a leash, and I am potty trained! I am great in the car and I like to stick close to my human friends, begging them for pets. I love a comfy dog bed! It's my favorite place to lay. I'm on a daily medication for my heart, and I also take joint supplements to keep my bones nice and healthy. I would like to find a quieter home, with or without other calm doggos around. I look forward to meeting my adopter so please let TNT know if you think I could be the pup for you! My adoption fee is $350.

Story
Meet Saturday! This cutie is a 10.5 month old Chihuahua mix with a curious personality and a true zest for life! Saturday is about 15 pounds and would love to have a similarly enthusiastic playmate in her forever home. She would also love to join an active family who will take her on adventures! She's doing great with potty training and walks pretty well on a leash. We think she will be easy to continue training since she's eager to learn. Saturday is a typical puppy with energy to burn, followed by settling down for a nap in a comfy lap with a blanket. Once she's recharged, she's up and ready to play again! This sweet girl is going to bring so much fun and entertainment to her forever home. Let us know if you would like to meet her! Saturday's adoption fee is $450

FROM A HOARDING SITUATION, WILL NEED TIME AND PATIENCE TO ACCLIMATE TO NEW HOME! Born: October 17, 2023 I am 11lbs and I am looking for my forever home. Adoption Donation: $450 Meet Flo! This beautiful little girl is ready to start a new chapter in life. Flo is a Chihuahua-Dachshund mix with a stunning dapple coat that makes her truly one of a kind. She came from a hoarding case and is still learning to trust the world around her. With time, patience, and love, she will blossom into the wonderful companion she’s meant to be. Flo finds comfort in the company of other dogs and will need to go to a home with a canine friend to help her feel safe and confident. She may be shy at first, but her gentle nature shines through as she begins to trust. Flo is looking for a kind and patient family who will give her the space and reassurance she needs to come out of her shell. Could you be the one to give her the loving forever home she deserves?
