Buffy

Meet Buffy 💕<br/><br/>Buffy is a 3-year-old, 18-lb female who proves that a rough start doesn’t define the rest of your story.<br/><br/>Buffy came to Safe Haven from a very bad situation in Texas. Her coat was badly matted and dirty, but once she landed in a loving foster home, everything changed. After a much-needed spa day—voilà!—Buffy transformed into the cute little diva she was always meant to be.<br/><br/>Buffy can be all bark at first, especially when meeting new people. She just needs a little time to feel safe. Once she warms up, though, she’ll completely steal your heart. Under that initial bravado is a total sweetheart who wants nothing more than to be your bestie.<br/><br/>She’s a spayed poodle/terrier mix (as best we can tell), up to date on vaccines, and finishing up her heartworm treatment. Buffy has been learning the ropes in her foster home and has made great progress with potty training—she’s got it down, though heavy rain or super cold weather can still be a bit intimidating.<br/><br/>Buffy is the perfect mix of cozy and playful. She’d happily snuggle with you every night while you binge your favorite shows, but she also enjoys toys, bones, and walks (and she’s getting better at those every day!). Bonus: she absolutely rocks adorable t-shirts, sweaters, and jackets.<br/><br/>She likes most dogs, especially ones who enjoy playing. Cats are an unknown, but she’s open to giving it a try with the right introduction.<br/><br/>Buffy is looking for a patient, loving person or family who understands that trust takes time—and that the reward is a loyal, affectionate companion who will adore you endlessly.<br/><br/>Think Buffy might be your match?<br/>Please fill out an adoption application at www.safehavendogsil.org<br/>.<br/>Buffy will be waiting… maybe barking a little at first—but hoping very much it’s you. 🐾💗<br/><br/>Our standard adoption fee is $465 if paid by card.
