Story

My name is Capricorn and I am looking for my fur-ever home. I heard that I used to live in a home with several dogs until my owner died. Luckily the volunteers at Almost Home Foundation saved me so I could have a second chance. I am currently in a foster home with two adult humans and two doggie sisters while I wait to be adopted. My foster parents say that I have come a long way. When I first arrived, I was terrified of everything. I don’t know if this was just my way of decompressing or if I am just a naturally nervous dog or perhaps both. But with love, patience, and encouragement, I slowly came out of my shell. I am still nervous but my personality is starting to show, especially when I am out in the backyard. I’m like a totally different dog out there, running around and having fun.In terms of my other qualities, I am dog-friendly and housebroken. I am also crate-trained. In fact, I love my crate. It’s my own little den where I feel safe and comfortable. I am fine being home alone when my foster parents go to work. Just put me in my crate with a Kong toy and a blanket and I’m a happy camper. I am very skittish so children would be too scary for me. Also, an overly busy home with lots of people coming-and-going would be overwhelming, too. I have not been very cuddly with people but I will sometimes let my foster mom pet me. I’m starting to sort of come around to my foster dad but trusting him is still a work-in-progress. I am up-to-date on shots, micro-chipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. I weigh about 14 pounds. I should probably gain a pound or so.In terms of a forever home, I need someone with lots of love and patience to help me learn to trust. I am not a social butterfly that wants to meet everyone. Previous experience with scared/skittish dogs is a plus but not a must. Since I am still figuring out leash-walking, I will also need a secure fenced yard for potty-time. It doesn`t need to be a big yard, just a secure one. Does this sound like you? Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so, email dogs@almosthomefoundation.org to get in touch with my foster parents.Adoption fee is $320Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5)

Story

The Tenn. folks figure that I was born around the beginning of the year and took care of my sister and I, gave us our vaccines and sent us up North so that a better life would be had. I might be a little shy but must came in. My shelter mom knows that I will warm up fast to humans and am already comfortable with other canine friends. I weigh just a hair over 20# which lists me as medium. If you would like to meet me, PLEASE FILL OUT THE APPLICATION on the website of www.4Paws4U4Ever.com under How To Adopt. Thank you

Story

Tula is a wonderful companion who thrives on genuine connection and love. Tula has a lot of love to give and specific needs that make her an ideal companion for the right home. Her comfort with other dogs and her preference for a quieter, adult-only environment are key considerations for anyone looking to adopt her. Her playfulness and intelligence would certainly shine in a home that can provide regular mental stimulation and physical activity, such as teaching her new tricks and enjoying outdoor adventures. For Tula, potential adopters should be prepared to provide a nurturing, attentive setting where she can form strong bonds. Given her discomfort around children, a calm, stable home with one or two adults would likely be ideal. Also, the presence of another playful dog could be a great source of companionship and help her adjust to her new environment more smoothly. It's important to find the right environment for her where she can feel comfortable and happy. Fill out an adoption application to schedule your own private meet and greet with this furry friend.

Story

Vino is a loyal and affectionate companion who loves to cuddle and play. He is house-trained and walks well on a leash. He TOYS, treats, chasing after wildlife, hanging out on the balcony, spending time with his foster mom. He may do best in a home without other dogs (although he may do well with some guidance/training for resource guarding). Vino would thrive in a patient home where he can continue to build his confidence, social skills with dedicated family who will work with him on his training and provide him with plenty of love and attention. If you think Vino could be the perfect addition to your family, please consider adopting him today. Contact us to schedule a meet and greet and learn more about this sweet boy. Adopt don't shop!

Story

Meet Biscuit! Biscuit is a 9-week-old Rat Terrier mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! With her longer legs and head, she stands out from her shorter sister, but don’t let her petite size fool you—she keeps up with her larger littermates like a pro. Biscuit is a gentle soul who’s great at sharing and loves giving kisses. She adores snuggling in your lap for pets and attention. While she enjoys playing, she’s not the highest-energy pup, making her a perfect companion for someone seeking a playful yet calm addition to their family. This sweet girl is wonderful with kids and loves being held by her foster family's 9-year-old son. She also enjoys meeting new people, greeting everyone with her quiet charm. Biscuit plays well with the big adult dogs in her foster home but prefers to keep her distance when they get overly excited. Biscuit is already used to pee pads and chooses to use them consistently. She’s not a big chewer but has a soft spot for freeze-dried lamb lung treats. Grooming and care are a breeze with Biscuit—she’s excellent during nail trims, baths, and when receiving medications. She’s just beginning to explore the world of leash walking and is getting used to short outdoor adventures. Biscuit is ready to find a loving home where she can flourish and share her affectionate nature. Are you ready to make Biscuit a part of your family? Illinois law requires that all of our dogs and puppies be spay/neutered within 14 days of a veterinarian deeming the dog or puppy is ready to be altered. In order to fully comply with this regulation and reduce the number of homeless dogs and puppies, we do not permit out of state adoptions of unaltered dogs or puppies. 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.
