Story
When I first arrived at Safe Haven I was very scared and didn't want to meet anyone, but over time I have learned to accept people and really want their attention.

I am ready to be adopted, so don't hesitate to put in an application for me today!

Story
True to her name, Corncob is a 1.5-year-old female Lab mix with a sunny yellow coat and an extra-corny personality to match. She’s an energetic, people-loving girl whose greatest dream is simply to have people of her very own to shower with affection—and she promises to give all that love right back. Corncob is fully convinced she’s a lap dog and has absolutely no concept of personal space—in the most adorable, affectionate way possible. If you’re sitting down, she assumes she’s been invited right into your lap for cuddles. She’s also a total toy fiend and can often be found happily gnawing on a bone or tossing her stuffed toys around all by herself. Corncob loves staying busy and would be thrilled to join her future family on adventures big and small. She does well with kids and is both potty-trained and crate-trained. Corncob has a solid handle on her basic manners, though she’s still working on keeping all four paws on the ground when she gets excited to greet new friends (she just can’t help herself!). She can be a bit wary around other dogs, and though we think she could learn to coexist with another dog, she'd do best as the only dog in the home. She is currently indifferent to cats, so we think she could live peacefully in a home with a feline friend. Corncob would thrive in a home looking for a happy, affectionate companion—one who will greet them every day with a big smile, enthusiastic butt wiggles, and a heart full of love. If you’re ready for a joyful, cuddly sidekick to share life’s adventures, Corncob might just be your perfect match.

Story
If you're looking for a cool, calm, and collected dog… Cricket is definitely not your girl. But if you're searching for the labbiest Lab you've ever met — bursting with joy, enthusiasm, and playfulness for days — then Cricket is absolutely your girl! At just 7 months old, this Yellow Lab mix is a happy, wiggly bundle of sunshine. Cricket greets everyone like they’re her long-lost best friend — expect BIG tail wags, full-body wiggles, and many, many kisses. She does get very excited when she first meets you (she just has so much love to give!), but don’t let that overwhelm you — she settles down once she’s had a chance to say hello and get her wiggles out. Cricket would make a wonderfully loyal companion for a person or family ready to embrace her zest for life. She loves a good play session, whether that’s zooming around with her canine friends or happily chewing on her favorite toys. She does well with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her a great fit for many different kinds of homes. The good news? She’s fully potty-trained and crate-trained. The “work in progress”? Her basic manners. Cricket is still learning that just because you can jump on something doesn’t mean you should. The great part is that she’s smart and learns quickly — she just needs consistent guidance and someone committed to helping her grow into the amazing adult dog she’s destined to be. Cricket would thrive in a home that’s ready for a happy, energetic girl and will celebrate her joyful spirit instead of calling her “too much.” Because she’s not too much — she’s just full of life. If you’re ready for laughter, loyalty, and a whole lot of love, Cricket is waiting to meet you.

Story
Herman is a 5-month-old male Lab mix with a sleek black coat, floppy ears, and the biggest puppy-dog eyes you’ve ever seen—and yes, he absolutely knows how to use them to his advantage. This guy is pure puppy joy. Herman is very excitable and loves to play with whatever (or whoever!) he can get his paws on. Other dogs are his favorite playmates, and if wrestling is involved, even better. He’s social, playful, and happiest when he’s in the middle of the action. When meeting new people, Herman can be a little unsure at first, but don’t worry—he warms up quickly and turns into a total lovebug. Once he’s comfortable, he’s all about affection and happily accepts pets, playtime, and toy sessions with his people. Despite all that puppy energy, Herman has a great off-switch. When things calm down, he settles nicely on his own and will seek out the comfiest spot he can find for a well-earned nap. Crate training and potty training are still a work in progress, but Herman is extremely food-motivated and already catching on quickly. He does well with other dogs, cats, and kids, making him a great fit for many different households. Herman would thrive in a family ready to embrace the fun, chaos, and love that comes with a quintessential Lab puppy—and to welcome him with open arms.

Story
Fresh out of the happiness bakery, Cookie is a 2-year-old female Lab/Beagle mix with a rich chocolate-brown coat that perfectly matches her delicious name. Sweet, joyful, and impossible not to love, Cookie is basically a walking batch of fresh-baked happiness. We’re not exaggerating when we say Cookie might be the happiest dog we’ve ever met. Whatever she’s doing, she does it with extra sprinkles of enthusiasm and a big smile on her adorable face. Life is just one big treat in Cookie’s world! Outside, this sweet girl serves up legendary zoomies like they’re straight from the oven. She’s always ready for a game of chase and loves running around with toys in her mouth—occasionally giving them a good shake like she’s mixing the dough. She’s great at entertaining herself, but Cookie believes playtime is best shared, and she absolutely loves romping around with other dogs. Big pups, little pups—Cookie is happy to play with them all. Once she’s burned off that sugary energy, Cookie is more than happy to crumble into a cozy couch or bed for a well-earned nap. She sleeps like a champ—but the moment she wakes up and sees you, that happy tail-wagging wiggle pops right back out, like a cookie fresh from the oven. Cookie is fully potty-trained and crate-trained. She could use a little polishing on her basic manners, but she’s a smart girl who’s eager to learn and ready for training with her future family. She also does wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her a great addition to many different homes. If your family is looking to add a little extra sweetness, laughter, and joy to your lives, Cookie might just be the perfect treat you’ve been waiting for.

Story
Eugene is a 5-month-old male Lab mix and the only black-and-white pup in his litter—because of course he had to stand out. He’s kind of a brat… but in the best way possible. Think big personality, zero shame, and nonstop entertainment. He’s very dramatic, loves to talk a big game, and acts like he runs the show—but don’t be fooled. Deep down, Eugene is still just a little baby who wants love and attention. He gets so excited around people that getting photos of him was nearly impossible—he was too busy jumping, zooming, and spreading joy. Eugene loves to play, especially with his siblings, and approaches life like it’s the best thing that’s ever happened (because to him, it is). He’s the definition of a happy pup who is genuinely thrilled to be alive. Potty training and crate training are works in progress, as expected for a puppy his age. He does great with other dogs, cats, and kids, and would thrive in pretty much any family looking for an outgoing, social pup who will bring endless laughter, energy, and entertainment into their home. If you’re ready for a puppy with a huge personality, a dramatic streak, and a heart of gold—Eugene is your guy.
