Black Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Elburn, Illinois

If you're looking for a loyal companion with the perfect mix of playful energy and cuddle expertise, Finn may just be your guy!

Finn is a handsome 5-year-old pup with a heart of gold. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him some patience and a little time, and you'll discover one of the sweetest, most loving dogs around. Once he trusts you, Finn's favorite place is right by your side.

This lovable boy still has plenty of pep in his step and absolutely loves his daily walks. When playtime rolls around, his goofy side takes center stage! Tennis balls, squeaky toys, and especially squeaky balls are his absolute favorite things in the world. He also enjoys spending time outdoors and occasionally making questionable life choices—like rolling around in the dirt. (He always regrets it when bath time arrives!)

Finn is fully potty trained, doesn't require a crate, and already knows several commands including sit, paw, and lay down. While grooming and nail trims can make him a little nervous, he does well with patience, reassurance, and a steady supply of treats.

Finn has lived successfully with children of all ages and cats. He currently shares his foster home with other dogs and does well, but he'd appreciate canine companions who understand that everyone needs a little personal space sometimes.

His ideal family will be one that gives him the time he needs to settle in, plenty of love and attention, daily walks, and lots of belly rubs. In return, Finn will reward you with loyalty, companionship, and that adorable puppy-dog face that is impossible to resist.

If you're searching for an all-around good boy who is equal parts adventure buddy and couch companion, Finn is ready to meet you and steal your heart.

Our standard adoption fee is $465. We offer a $15 discount for adopters who pay by cash or check, making the adoption fee $450.

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.

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.

Submitting an application does not guarantee adoption and does not obligate you to adopt; it simply allows us to begin the review process.

To request an application or for additional details, please email adopt@safehavendogsIL.org
