Zelda's Story

Meet Zelda — and no, she’s not showing her teeth… she’s smiling!<br/><br/>Zelda is an adorable, approximately 6-year-old tri-color terrier mix who may be tiny at just 10 pounds, but her heart is absolutely huge. She’s the definition of a perfect lap dog—sweet, snuggly, and happiest when she’s curled up right next to her person, soaking in all the love she can get.<br/><br/>This little girl loves her toys and will happily keep herself entertained, though she’d much rather invite you to join in the fun. Zelda is very people-friendly and truly thrives on companionship, making her an ideal match for a home where she can be part of the daily love and attention.<br/><br/>While she enjoys being the center of your world, Zelda could also do well with a calm, confident dog who can help her feel secure and show her the routine. She’s crate trained (though she doesn’t need it), housebroken, and even knows how to use a potty pad—making her an easy addition to your home.<br/><br/>Her experience with children is unknown, but her gentle and affectionate personality suggests she would likely do well with respectful kids who understand her small size.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who brings the perfect mix of playful energy and cozy cuddles, Zelda is ready to brighten your days—and your lap.<br/><br/>Our standard adoption fee is $465. We offer a $15 discount for adopters who pay by cash or check, making the adoption fee $450.<br/><br/>The adoption fee includes spay/neuter when age appropriate at one of our participating veterinarians, age-appropriate core vaccinations, fecal test, deworming, current on flea and tick preventative, and microchip.<br/><br/>To ensure the best match for both our dogs and adopters, we require a fully completed adoption application, a phone interview, and a meet-and-greet with the entire household. Applications will not be reviewed unless fully completed. <br/><br/>Submitting an application does not guarantee adoption and does not obligate you to adopt; it simply allows us to begin the review process.<br/><br/>To request an application or for additional details, please email adopt@safehavendogsIL.org<br/><br/>Please note that the breeds and sizes posted in this biography are educated best guesses and are not guaranteed. <br/><br/>Safe Haven Dog Rescue reserves the right to approve or decline any adoption application based on the best interest of the dog.
