My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ida!

My name is Ida, and I was born on 10/20/2024 in Texas with my eight siblings! I am one of the 6 girls in the litter. Right now, I’m about 13 weeks old and weigh 6lbs. My papers say I’m a Terrier/Pit mix, but me and my siblings are a colorful bunch, so it’s anyone’s guess!

I am a huge fan of being held whenever I can! Most of the time, I sit and watch and wait patiently for my siblings to move out of my way so I can get a chance to get to my foster parents. I prefer to be held so I have direct access to give kisses! I LOVE belly scratches, and pretty much any other kind of scratch. Sometimes my brothers and sisters try to wrestle with me, but I would rather not most of the time and I’ll make sure they know it. I do sometimes have a burst of energy where I like to run as fast as I can, but mostly I just like to relax!

I’ve been busy at my foster home with all my brothers and sisters and my two foster siblings. I do great with the large, adult dogs that live here and have liked every other big dog I’ve met on walks so far. I haven’t met any cats yet, but I think I would like them too, even if they don’t appreciate my puppy curiosity. There is a 12-year-old boy that lives here; I get so excited to play with him and love every kid I have met so far! I haven’t met any really young children yet, but if you watch my excitement around them, I should be just fine.

Due to my age, I haven’t mastered walking on a leash yet, but being outside is ok. Also due to my age, I haven’t been potty trained yet, but I do try my hardest to use my pee pads. I’ve been working to learn to sit, and I will continue trying my hardest! I haven’t been completely left home alone yet, as I have my brothers and sisters with me. That may take me a little time to get used to, but I don’t think crate training will be an issue for me. I take corrections very well and should learn quickly with my new family.

I’m having so much fun and learning so much every day, but I can’t wait to meet my new family!

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…..
