Story
I am currently being foster-trained in Prarie du Sac, Wisconsin and not currently located at Safe Haven. I came to Safe Haven with my 4 puppies who have all been adopted. Now I'm looking for my furever home. I was very scared at first and would bark at men and people wearing hats, preferring the company of women and my puppies. But now I am feeling more comfortable in the shelter and since my puppies all found homes I can relax and be myself. I really love running and playing fetch. I am truly happy when I have one-on-one time with employees and volunteers at the shelter. Being at the shelter for so long I have gotten jealous of other dogs I see getting the attention I want; I will bark and jump up to try and get that attention. I tend to jump up with all my 59 pounds on people to show how much I love them; you could say I get carried away when I see people I know. So, I might be better in a home with older kids or just adults. I am very good at opening doors to cabins and finding ways to get out of fenced in areas, so I'll need a home that a secure fence and cabinets. I know how to sit and come when called, I respond best to positive reinforcement with a happy voice telling me Im a good girl, because I really don't know my name! If you think I sound like your kind of girl submit an application today.

Story
Hi everyone, I am the sweetest guy you'll every meet. I just want to cuddle up to everyone I meet and stay with them forever. I enjoy car rides and will settle into walking on a leash after the initial excitement of going for a walk has worn off. I love toys! The plushy ones with squeakers are the best, but I should be supervised because I like to chew them up! I don't really care for the loud dogs here at the shelter, but would probably do well with another dog who is laid back and spayed/neutered. I have been know jump up on people but will get down when told, I also know how to sit and sometime I will even lay down when asked.

Story
Meet Raven! This pretty girl is a 3 year old Pitbull mix. She was adopted from here as a puppy but sadly, she was returned recently for not getting along with the cat in the home. Raven is the happiest girl! She is content and happy no matter what she is doing. Whether she is snuggled up in her bed with her favorite toy or playing in the play yard, she is always happy. She also loves to share her toys and will bring it to you. Raven is well mannered but needs to work on her jumping a little bit. She also keeps her kennel very clean. We are unsure how she is with other dogs but all dogs in the home will need to be present to meet her. She can’t be in a home with cats. Raven will be available for adoption tomorrow at 12pm and is eager to meet you. Please visit noahsarkanimals.org to review all adoption requirements and submit an applicationTo apply to adopt a dog from Noah's Ark in Rockford, IL, please visit noahsarkanimals.org.

Story
Penelope is a great dog. She’s sweet, she is smart. My issues is she gets violent towards my other female, her mother. We have tried everything to reintroduce nothing has worked for well over a year. I cannot risk the safety of my child. Penelope needs single family willing to dedicate their time to her. She will attack cats, and so far female dogs. I have two males she gets along with fine.
