Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Chestnut!
Hi there! My name is Chestnut, and I’m a 10-week-old male Terrier mix puppy who’s ready to be the missing puzzle piece in your family. I’m cheerful, carefree, and full of energy, always looking for my next adventure!
I recently made a big journey from Texas to my foster family’s home, and I’m still getting used to the cold. Sometimes I’m a little hesitant to go outside when it’s chilly, but I’m adapting day by day.
At my foster home, I live with two teenagers and have also done great with younger children (ages 4–8) who visited for a few days. I love playing with my littermate—we roughhouse and explore the backyard together.
I already know a few commands, like “sit,” “no,” “potty,” and “treat.” I get excited easily and may jump on you, but it’s just my playful nature—I calm down quickly with a little attention.
I’m doing well with potty training and use pee pads when necessary. Since I’m still a puppy, I have occasional accidents if I’m not taken out frequently, but I’m learning fast! I’m also crate-trained—I happily go into my crate at bedtime and even enjoy naps there as long as I have a soft blanket to snuggle up with.
When I’m not chasing down balls or exploring, I love curling up on the couch next to my foster family for some cuddles. My curiosity keeps me alert—I’ll pop up from a nap if I think something exciting is happening without me!
My foster family adores me, but they know I’m ready to find my forever family—one that can match my energy and help me grow into the best pup I can be. Could that be you?
Our standard adoption fee is $375 cash or check and $385 credit card ($10 processing fee). . It includes spay/neuter when age appropriate at our participating vets, age appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative,1st vet visit at one of our participating vets, and micro-chipping.
We must have an application, conduct a phone interview, and meet your entire family to approve an adoption. Applications will not be reviewed unless fully completed. An application does not commit you to adopting and does not guarantee adoption but does allow us to begin the review process.
Please email adopt@safehavendogsIL.org for an application or additional details.
Please note that the breeds and sizes posted in this biography are educated best guesses and are not guaranteed.
Safe Haven Dog Rescue reserves the right to refuse adoption of any dog or puppy to any applicant (adopter) for any reason.

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…..
