Story
Hi there, I’m Arlo! And I’m 12 weeks old! (But you can also call me “cutest little nugget ever” — I answer to that too!)
I may be small, but don’t let my size fool you — I’ve got a BIG personality packed into this tiny body! I was told I’m a rat terrier, but my foster mom said I’m probably a mix of lots of breeds. Whatever I am, I can assure you that I’m a littlee bit of everything with a lot of bit of awesome. I’m a playful, wiggly ball of energy who loves zooming around, pouncing on toys, and making new friends wherever I go. (Seriously, I don’t care how big you are! Two legs or four, I love you already.)
Playtime is my favorite time (okay… snuggle time is a very close second). Whether it’s a squeaky toy, a game of tug o war, or just exploring the world outside, I’m always up for an adventure. And when I’m all tuckered out? I’ll curl up in your lap like the little snuggle bug I am.
I’m still a baby, so I’m learning all the important stuff — like where to potty, how to walk on a leash, and that some things are a “no-no.” I’m a really good boy in my crate, and I am super with my potty training. I use pads inside, but i prefer to go outside. Sometimes my foster mom just doesn’t get to the door fast enough. I’d love a home that’s patient, fun, and ready to help me grow into the best boy I can be (I’m pretty great already though if i do say so myself.)
I get along great with other dogs, and I’d love a playful fur sibling — but I’d also be happy as your one and only as long as I get lots of love and attention. I haven’t met any cats yet, but I’m open to making new friends! I also love all the humans of all ages in my home, especially the 4 year old.
So… what do you think? Are you looking for a tiny best friend with a huge heart and a love for life? Because if you are, I’m pretty sure we’re meant to be!
Can’t wait to meet you —
Love, Arlo
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.
