My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Kenji (aka Ginger)! 🐾
This sweet 4- to 5-year-old cur mix, weighing around 40 pounds, is looking for her forever family. Kenji has been affectionately nicknamed Ginger by her foster mom, and she’s thriving in her foster home.

Kenji is already housebroken and loves following her human around. She’s fantastic with kids, happily living with 11- and 7-year-olds, and was a star with a visiting 3-year-old. She currently shares her home with a small foster dog brother. While her momma-dog instincts occasionally come through to keep him in line, they are getting along well. She hasn’t yet been introduced to cats.

At night, Kenji is a dream sleeper—she rests quietly in her crate without a peep. During the day, she enjoys zooming around the fenced yard but is equally happy curling up indoors for long naps near her favorite humans.

Kenji is shy with new people but quickly warms up into a loving and cuddly companion. She is gentle when taking treats, learning her basic commands, and starting to figure out the fun of toys.

She has about two weeks of activity restriction left as she finishes heartworm treatment but is doing great and ready to bring her gentle, loyal energy to your home.

Could Kenji (or Ginger!) be the perfect fit for your family?

More about this rescue

We are a small 501 C3 nonprofit rescue located in Elburn, Illinois. In 2014, Safe Haven Dog Rescue became its own non-profit. We are licensed by the Illinois Agriculture Department.

The majority of our dogs and puppies are pulled from Kill Pounds and Shelters in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Illinois. We also accept local medical cases as often as our finances will allow.

Please take a few moments to read the stories about the dogs and puppies we have available for adoption. We disclose everything we know about the dogs, sometimes we know a lot often we know only that they were strays, thrown away on the side of the road, in the woods, or found in abandoned houses.

While we don’t always know their past we are certain that their future is much brighter.

We hope that you and your family are part of the future…..
