About Whimsey

Meet Whimsey! Female 1 year old 30 pounds Good with cats & dogs Whimsey is a pocket-sized bundle of joy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This sweet girl is ready to find her true forever home. She was previously adopted from Safe Haven and returned through no fault of her own-sometimes the right match just takes a little time! Whimsey is incredibly smart and loves to learn. She already knows sit, down, touch, focus, leave it, spin, stand, off, and wait-pretty impressive for such a young pup! She's still polishing her leash manners and crate skills, but she's working hard every day to become the goodest girl. She can be a bit vocal in her crate, though she settles much more easily when she has a doggy friend nearby. She is fully potty trained and does a great job alerting when she needs to go outside. She loves fetch-though she's still perfecting the 'bring it back' part-and continues to learn her manners as she grows. This energetic little lady would thrive in an active home, especially one interested in dog sports. Rally, agility, scent work, or any activity that keeps her brain busy would be right up her alley. Mental stimulation is key for Whimsey-she's clever, curious, and always ready for her next challenge! Whimsey is on a special hydrolyzed protein and limited-ingredient diet due to food sensitivities, and she does absolutely fantastic when she sticks to it. Her favorite treats include freeze-dried bananas and Fruitable goodies-she has excellent taste! Personal space? Never heard of it. Whimsey is a certified lap dog who loves being close to her people. She adores playing with the dogs in her foster home and is always up for wrestling, tug, or zoomies until she happily collapses in a tired heap. She plays submissively in groups and does wonderfully with canine friends. She's also curious about the cats in her foster home and enjoys following them around, but she's respectful and backs off when they let her know they need space. Because Whimsey is young, smart, and has a very talented nose (she will sniff out anything left on the floor), she would do best in a home with older children or adults who can keep her safely stimulated and engaged. If you're looking for a sweet, snuggly, sporty, and endlessly entertaining companion, Whimsey just might be your perfect match Our standard adoption fee is $375 if paid by cash or check, or $385 if paid by credit card (which includes a $10 processing fee). This fee covers spay/neuter surgery when age appropriate at one of our participating veterinarians, age-appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative, and microchipping. In order to be considered for adoption, we require a fully completed application, a phone interview, and a meet-and-greet with your entire family. Please note that submitting an application does not commit you to adopting and does not guarantee approval-it simply allows us to begin the review process. If you are interested in adopting or would like additional information, please email us at [email protected] to request an application. Keep in mind that the breed and size listed in each dog's biography are our best educated guesses and are not guaranteed. Safe Haven Dog Rescue reserves the right to refuse the adoption of any dog or puppy to any applicant for any reason.
