Story
Sometimes dogs come back through no fault of their own, and Ophelia is one of them.This beautiful Great Dane is a giant sweetheart with the people she knows and loves. She’s house-trained, enjoys her daily walks, and has so much affection to give. True to her gentle giant nature, she loves being close to her people and is happiest when she’s part of the family.Ophelia is looking for an experienced, committed home that understands giant breeds and is willing to provide the structure and consistency she needs to thrive. She will come with a guided training plan tailored specifically to help her succeed, along with recommendations to support her continued growth, confidence, and socialization.Because the fast-paced, unpredictable nature of young children makes her anxious, Ophelia is looking for an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy teens who can respect her space.While Ophelia has successfully made canine friends through slow, thoughtful introductions, we’re currently seeking a home where she can be the only dog. As she continues to build confidence and settle into the right environment, that recommendation may evolve. If a home does have another dog, it would need to be a carefully selected companion whose energy level and play style are a great match, with introductions guided by our team.We would love to see Ophelia placed with someone committed to continuing her training, socialization, and confidence-building work. She has shown that she can make progress when given patience, guidance, and consistency, and we believe she has the potential to continue growing in the right home.Ophelia isn’t looking for a perfect home—she’s looking for the right one. A family that understands that trust is earned and is willing to give her the patience, consistency, and leadership she needs will be rewarded with an incredibly loyal, affectionate companion. She has so much love to give and deserves a second chance with someone who sees the wonderful dog behind her challenges.Adoption fee is $360Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs su

Tilly- Adoption Pending!

Great Dane Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Puppy
Elmhurst, IL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tilly is a 3-month-old brindle Great Dane/Pit bull mix with bright eyes, a big personality, and an absolutely irresistible little face! This spunky girl and her sibling were found left outside and ended up in the right hands when Players for Pits stepped in to help. Tilly is the perfect mix of playful and laid-back. She loves a good play session with other dogs, but she’s just as happy to curl up and relax afterward. When it comes to cats, she’s curious with a little bit of healthy hesitation, but her curiosity definitely wins out. Tilly has been great with kids, she loves cuddling and is already showing her talent for being a professional couch potato. Tilly also loves to run and would be a wonderful match for a family who enjoys walks, adventures, and keeping a young pup happily active. Tilly already knows “sit” and is working hard on paw, fetch, and potty training. She has been working on crate training and is continuing to improve every day. Like any young puppy, she’ll need a family ready to provide patience, consistency, training, and lots of love. Curious, spontaneous, and happy are three words that perfectly capture this little girl. But if you ask why you should adopt Tilly, there’s really only one answer: she’s a perfect little angel. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, snuggly puppy to add to your family, Tilly may be your girl! Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home? Fill out an application here: https://www.playersforpits.com/adoption-survey If you have specific questions before applying, please feel free to email inquiries@playersforpits.com If you are interested in adopting, please go directly to www.playersforpits.com to apply.

NOW, I am a healthy TRIPOD boy looking for just the right family...one who will care for me for all my days! I deserve it and you deserve this cute OGRE in your life too!

Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
