You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Vin Diesel and I'm a senior, male chihuahua.  I just had a dental so my teeth are in pretty okay shape now.  I'm great with other dogs and cats and also respectful kids.  I'm of course hoping to enjoy my retirement ages in a calmer home though.  I walk very well on a leash and love going for car rides.  I'm also potty trained and know my basic commands.  I have great manners and would make an amazing addition to most households.  I'm fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400 To adopt Vin Diesel, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 10:58 am

Story
Meet Rocco Rocco is a compact, athletic guy with a big personality. According to his Wisdom Panel DNA results, he is primarily Chihuahua, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Jack Russell Terrier — a mix that perfectly explains his sturdy build, sharp intelligence, and energetic spirit. Rocco currently weighs about 38 pounds, though he’s carrying a little winter weight and could comfortably lose around 3–4 pounds. The good news is that his foster has already started walking him 2 to 4 miles a day, and Rocco absolutely loves it. With that kind of activity, he’ll be fit and trim in no time. True to his name, Rocco is confident, social, and full of life. He’s a gregarious dog who enjoys meeting people and being part of the action. He’s very athletic and agile and loves to zoom around the yard or head out for a good walk with his people. When playtime is over, he’s just as happy to cuddle up and relax close by. Rocco is highly food motivated, which makes training both fun and effective. Bully sticks are one of his favorite treats. He already knows “sit” and “down,” and he comes when called… as long as he feels like it. If he’s busy sniffing something interesting, he may suddenly pretend he didn’t hear you. With his intelligence and love of treats, continued training should help sharpen those listening skills. Rocco enjoys playing with most other dogs and generally does well with canine companions. However, large dominant male dogs can make him a little nervous, so a compatible playmate or a meet-and-greet would be important. He does well with children as long as they are respectful and understand how to interact appropriately with dogs. Rocco is quite agile and has been known to clear a 4-foot fence, so a secure 6-foot fence is required if he will be spending time in a yard. Otherwise, he should be kept on leash outdoors. He also has a high prey drive and should not live with small domestic animals such as birds or rabbits. On the plus side, he takes his hunting skills seriously and is excellent at keeping outdoor areas clear of mice and voles. Rocco is a fun, affectionate, and lively companion who will thrive with an active family that enjoys walks, playtime, and having a loyal dog close by. He brings both energy and affection to a home and is ready to find a family that will appreciate his big personality in his perfectly sized body. Adoption Information Rocco’s standard adoption fee is $465. We offer a $15 discount for cash or check payments, making the fee $450. The adoption fee covers: Spay/neuter surgery (when age appropriate) at one of our participating veterinarians Age-appropriate core vaccinations Fecal testing and deworming Flea and tick preventative Microchipping To be considered for adoption, we require: A fully completed application A phone interview A meet-and-greet with your entire household Submitting an application does not commit you to adopting and does not guarantee approval — it simply begins the review process. If you are interested in adopting or would like additional information, please email adopt@safehavendogsIL.org to request an application. Please note 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.

Name: Luna DaisyBreed:  Chihuahua MixDOB:  18/8/2025Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location: Wheaton, IL Adoption fee:  $400 Fun Bio:  Meet Luna Daisy – Your Future Snuggle Buddy! Luna is a 12-week-old sweetheart who was born on Christmas Day, making her the perfect little holiday gift that keeps on giving. With her adorable face and calm personality, Luna has already stolen the hearts of everyone she meets. This laid-back girl has a wonderfully chill temperament and absolutely loves being around people. She’s happiest when she’s close to her humans, whether that’s hanging out during family time or relaxing nearby while you go about your day. Luna is already showing what a smart pup she is:     •     Great with kids     •     Walks nicely on a leash     •     Doing very well with potty training She would do best in a home that matches her easygoing personality. Luna would likely enjoy having another calm, laid-back dog companion, but she doesn’t do well with very hyper or high-energy dogs. While she hasn’t met cats yet, we believe she would likely adjust well with proper introductions. Luna is the perfect mix of playful puppy and mellow companion, and she’s ready to find a loving family to grow up with. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, and loyal little friend, Luna might just be the perfect match   If interested in a pet from us, please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.   We always recommend crate training, positive reinforcement training, exercise, playtime, and a regular schedule for potty breaks when bringing a new dog/puppy into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time! Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing (done at 26 weeks), deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip.   ##2677560##
