Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Bean!
My name is Bean, 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 4.2lbs. 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 the runt of the litter, but that doesn’t stop me! I may be smaller than my siblings, but I’m a big girl in a small body. I can even fetch toys that are twice my size! I make myself known and believe I should always be the center of everyone’s attention at all times. Sometimes I try to cry when I’m not getting what I want but do quiet down when I figure out that doesn’t work. I’m learning to share toys and don’t like when my siblings get near my food. I’m working hard to correct those things and have been doing much better! I don’t shy away from playing rough and often instigate the rough play with my brothers and sisters. Despite my oversized personality, I really really love to be held and pet. I have mastered my “puppy dog” look and every human I’ve met finds it irresistible. I’m a very good listener; I just feel like I need to try harder to make myself known because of my size!
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. I get distracted by just about every leaf I see- which is a lot! 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 not use my teeth when I shouldn’t, 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…..
