Dutch Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Elburn, Illinois

Hi there! My name is Chapel Roam — I got my name because I was found wandering along Chapel Road in Tennessee, and now I’m on the hunt for something much better… my forever home!

I’m an 11-week-old female puppy, likely a shepherd mix, and I’m equal parts playful energy and sweet snuggles. I love a good game of fetch (tennis balls are my favorite!) and tug-of-war with my squeaky toys and ropes. When playtime is over, I’m more than happy to curl up next to you for some cozy cuddle time.

I’m already off to a great start with training! I’m almost fully crate trained and about 95% potty trained — I just need a consistent schedule to help me stay on track. I’m also learning my basic manners like sit, stay, lay down, and even waiting patiently for my food. I’m a smart girl and very treat-motivated, so I catch on quickly!

Like most puppies, I’m still figuring out the world and can be a little mouthy during play, but I’m easily redirected with toys and positive guidance. With a little consistency, I’ll grow into a well-mannered companion in no time.

I would love a home with a family who’s ready for all the fun (and love!) that comes with raising a puppy. I’d likely do great with kids, other dogs, and even cats with proper introductions. I have so much love to give and can’t wait to find my people!

Could that be you?

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
