Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello, I’m Tony (Anthony)!
I am a playful and smart 1.5 year old Mountain Cur mix with a handsome brindle coat. I am just over 40 pounds, making me the perfect medium sized pup.
I had a rough start down in Texas, but got a second chance at life thanks to Safe Haven and my foster family!
When I arrived to my foster home, I knew no basic commands. I now know “sit”, “shake”, “down”, “leave it”, and “speak”!
I am completely housebroken and crate trained. Most nights I snuggle with my foster family in bed, but I also find comfort in my crate and will sleep soundly in there throughout the night.
I love my foster family’s resident dogs and get along and play respectfully with them. Tug of war is my favorite! I also do pretty well on a leash and love to take walks. I enjoy lick mats, snuffle mats, and enrichment puzzles to keep my mind busy too.
While I have learned to respect my foster family’s resident cats, I would probably do best in a home without them. I would, however, thrive in a home with another playful pup!
I have not met any kids, so I’m not sure how I would do with them. I am still getting socialized and am a little weary with strangers, but if you give me treats I warm up pretty quickly!
If you are ready for a loyal and playful companion, I just may be your perfect match!

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…..
