Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Thanks for your interest in a pet from A.R.F.! If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/   This is a courtesy post.  This dog is still with his owner.  Max is a 125 pound, 10 year old pure bred German Shepherd Dog who has lived with his family since he was a puppy.  Now the kids are grown and do not want to take care of him.  The parents work long hours 7 days a week and have decided to rehome Max.   He is very friendly with his people, but tries to scare new people he does not know.  Max is crate trained and good with other dogs.  He does not walk well on a leash, so a fenced in yard would be ideal. Per the owner, Max is microchipped, up to date, and neutered.  This dog's new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. The adoption fee for this pet is $250.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting this dog fill out an Online Application today!

Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions or schedule meetings until your application has been approved. More information about our adoption process can be found on our website here: https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/ As an all-volunteer, foster home-based organization, A.R.F.

Jarvis

German Shepherd Dog

Male, adult

Geneva, IL

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Jarvis is 6 years old and a major cuddle lover. He will rarely leave your side. He is intelligent, eager to learn, and incredibly loving. Unfortunately, Jarvis needs a new home. He is very loved, but his owners can no longer care for him and has been fostered in our home for a few weeks now. Jarvis is energetic and would love a backyard to run in. Jarvis would also do best in a home where he is the only dog. He is slowly doing better with our own dog, but building that trust has taken a lot of work. He is gentle, however, with our cats. He is also great with people in general, including small children. Jarvis is crate-trained and knows a few basic tricks like sit, stay, lay down, etc. He loves mental stimulation and would be very open to learning new things! When playing, he is definitely a "destroyer." He does not go after anything that isn't one of his toys, but those toys will be shredded if they prove not to be tough enough. Ropes and Kong balls seem to be the best.

Story

Meet Millie, she’s such a gorgeous girl! She is very smart and highly trainable. She loves attention and loves to be with her people. She has lots of energy and needs a family that also has the time and energy to fulfill her needs for exercise and mental stimulation so she can be a happy and balanced pup. She is about a year old and was to be euthanized by previous owners bc they just didn’t want her or her sister anymore we were contacted to see about taking her (her sister ended up at the shelter prior and has been adopted Yeayy). We had just had a few adoptions and we decided to give her a chance. She’s is wonderful. She likes to counter surf and has been learning we don’t do that and it’s not acceptable. She is also learning where to go potty and not do it inside. She was kept outside in a 10x 10 kennel and was pretty thin and covered with fly bites on her ears and fleas as well. She’s recovering from that very well and loves the extra groceries she’s getting. She can and will Jump a four foot fence if you should happen to leave the yard area. She’s not trying to run away she is trying to get to you. She doesn’t really have separation anxiety but she does not like to be left alone in the yard. She does great in her crate/kennel at night and will hold it to potty in the morning. She loves other dogs and is pretty pushy in an obnoxious way with other dogs. She seems to not have learned to take no for an answer but she is learning that now. Our pack is teaching her how to play and engage properly as a dog. She is a middle of the pack/ front of the pack type of dog. She’s not too confident that she is dominant and she is not shy and timid or fearful. She can be a tad shy at first with people but she’s pretty confident with other dogs. meet but warms up within minutes. Located East TN, out of state welcomed transport available to your area I closed on the adoption fee listed here in Adopt a pet. We use rescue riders for our pet transports because they have been great with our babies. Apply at petpath.org

Annie

German Shepherd Dog Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Female, young

St. Charles, IL

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Say hello to Annie! Annie is a 10 month old German Shepherd mix lady who weighs about 38 pounds. She is super affectionate and loves to cuddle! She likes to know where her people are and will entertain herself with puzzle toys at your feet. Did we mention that Annie is super smart? If you are looking for a trainable dog, look no further than Annie. She would LOVE to go through a formal training course with her forever family. We think she'd thrive with agility training or nose work classes, too. She's very curious and love to investigate her surroundings, so she will thrive with mental stimulation! Annie is great with children and tends to gravitate toward them. She has a blast running around, playing with toys and chasing other dogs, but she is also happy to sit in the yard and watch everyone else go wild. Annie is doing well sleeping in her crate over night! She is potty trained and working on walking nicely on a leash! Annie is not a fit for a home with smaller animals, and she needs a tall, fenced yard. If your home fits the bill and you're up for a fun-loving adventure partner, please apply to meet Annie! A portion of Annie's adoption fee has been SPONSORED!! Her adoption fee is $250.

Story

Meet Indiana, a one-year-old male Shepherd mix with striking features and a charming personality. With his big, stand-up ears and handsome appearance, he is sure to catch the attention of anyone who crosses his path. Weighing in at a friendly 50 pounds, Indiana is the perfect size for those seeking a medium-sized canine companion. While Indiana is friendly and sociable with people, it's important to note his history of intraspecies resource guarding. For this reason, he should not be placed in a home with another dog. It's crucial to provide Indiana with an environment where he can feel safe and secure without the potential for guarding behaviors to arise. By being the sole pet in the household, Indiana can focus on building a strong bond with his human family. Although Indiana displays guarding tendencies towards other dogs, it's essential to emphasize that he does not exhibit guarding behavior towards people. He is affectionate and loving with his human companions and eagerly seeks their company. Indiana's devotion and loyalty make him an excellent choice for individuals or families seeking a companion who will provide unwavering love and companionship. Considering Indiana's specific needs and history, it's recommended that he be placed in a home without young children. To ensure safety and minimize any potential triggers for guarding behavior, a home with children aged 12 and above would be the most suitable match for Indiana. Older children who can understand and respect his boundaries will create an environment where he can thrive and feel secure. Indiana's future home should also provide outlets for his physical and mental stimulation. Regular exercise, interactive toys, and engaging activities will help channel his energy and ensure his overall well-being. A committed and dedicated owner who is willing to invest time and effort in his training and enrichment will be rewarded with a loyal and loving companion. If you're seeking a handsome and friendly Shepherd mix who craves human companionship, Indiana may be the perfect fit for you. By offering him a home without other dogs and providing a calm and understanding environment, you can provide Indiana with the love and care he deserves. Together, you can forge a deep bond and create a fulfilling life filled with shared adventures and cherished moments. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.
