Story
Freddy is approx. 2 years old, male, Black Mouth Cur/Anatolian mix. He’s fully vetted, Neutered, on heart worm prevention and micro chipped.He’s looking for his forever home and boy does he deserve it. He’s been boarding at a local facility most of his little life and is ready to spread his wings. Freddy is a very energetic and playful pup. His favorite is fetch. He would be a great companion for someone who likes to take long walks, hikes…somebody with his high level of energy!Please consider giving this young man a home. Probably best if no small children in the household as he is a little rambunctious. Since he is so athletic, he could jump a standard chain link fence or a low standing fence so a privacy fence would be ideal for him or someone committed to leash walking/hiking on the daily. He has had a week of in home one on one training and would love to find someone that could reinforce that.Please apply online for him at madisonarf.org

Story
Want to meet the sweetest dog? This is him, Mr Chubs. The dog who was brought into a vet clinic to be euthanized because the owner didn't want to deal with his hypothyroidism. You know, a little pill once a month and give him the omegas (fish) to make sure he gets the pills his skin/hair needs. WHAT?! They were having none of it so they had her surrender this precious boy to the clinic where he has been for months. Once I met him, I knew he was coming back with me. Oh how precious he is! He lives to dance, scoot on his belly with his little bootie up in the air for pets and laughs. He seems to love everyone, including the cat. He keeps a clean kennel at the clinic and potties outside. He lives to be loved on and to give it in return 100 fold. He's fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, all the vaccines, has had a heartworm shot that's not sure again until April. Then he'll need monthly prevention or another shot. He needs monthly flea prevention, of course. If you'd like to adopt, you'll need to continue his thyroid meds and will need to have a grand vet reference.The adoption fee is $100Apply atMadisonARF.org

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Age: 5 years 6 months Why do you need to rehome Nova? She's very aggressive with my other female dog, I've done training. She's on trazadone and still fights leading to many vet visits costing me thousands. It's not fair for her to remain in a home that she's not happy in. How does your pet get along with dogs/cats? Not females Does your pet have any behavioral notes (digs/climb fences/food guarding/toy guarding, etc)? Toy guarding with other dogs. We call her the fun police when other dogs at home are playing, she gets worked up and barks at them a lot. I think she would thrive in a home with no pets. I love Nova so much she had no training when I adopted her. She's come a long way, but I can no longer care for her. My physical health is declining as well. I can't keep breaking up these fights. She's such a cutie I call her my little moo moo or derp lol. She loves cuddles, kisses, scratches and just being with her human.

Story
Daisy is a great dog. We took her in for this elderly lady who could no longer care for her. Unfortunately, she doesn’t do well around very small children (maybe 3 and under), and we have a two year old and about to have a baby. She is very scared of men! She does well on her leash and she potty trained. She is a very calm and laid back dog that just likes to get pets and lay around, although she loves walks, too.

Story
The owners were older and couldn't handle her energy level, though, truth be told, they didn't really try everything like a trainer, etc, they just gave up and turned her over to a kill shelter. She's high energy, needs training and room to run that energy off, with some playmates to wear each other out. Even some older kids to run around with. Do you go running or hiking? Then this girl is your kind of buddy! She's also one big LOVE BUG. She wants all the pets, please and thank you. She can even out run mini Aussies at the Foster Home, which is usually unheard of there! But they're all having a blast running around, playing and wearing each other out. She's doesn't bother the barn cats on the farm. She's house trained, too, and does very well in the house. She needs a yard with a fence to run in. And a friend to play with. She's very well mannered if you are the Alpha. She's playful, fun, and loveable to the MAX.NOT AN APARTMENT DOG.She's been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative and on all preventions, as all of our dogs are, so she's ready and eager to go!
