Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Oreo!
Who doesn’t love an Oreo? Hello! My name is Oreo, and I’m an 11-month-old, 43-lb mix from Texas. Right now, I’m going through heartworm treatment, but I should be all set and ready to go by January!
I’m a curious and lovable pup who enjoys people- and dog-watching from my foster’s windows. I’m very food-motivated and eager to please! While it may take me a moment to figure out what you’re asking, I’m always determined to get it right.
I’m a bit shy around strangers at first, but once I warm up, I’m incredibly cuddly and love following my foster mom everywhere to see what she’s up to. My love language is definitely physical touch—I’ll be all over you for the best snuggles!
In my foster home, I live with another dog, and I’m very interested in her. Before starting my heartworm treatment, we had so much fun playing chase and tag in the dog park! While I’m still working on leash manners (I tend to pull), I’m potty trained and crate trained. I sleep soundly in my crate at night with no accidents.
I rarely bark, but when I do, it’s usually because I’m bored and looking for some attention. I haven’t been introduced to children or cats yet, so I’m not sure how I feel about them.
If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly companion who will shower you with love and affection, I might just be the perfect pup for you. Could I be your forever Oreo?

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…..
