You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Kim for more information about this pet.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/   Scooby is a 3 year old male who weighs in at 95 pounds.  This dog's adoption fee is $750.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Meet Scooby!! This giant came to ARF as his aging owner got sick and could no longer care for him. Leaving the only home he had ever known was very stressful for Scooby, but he settled into his foster home very quickly. He plays well with the resident X-Large dog in his foster home,  Scooby LOVES toys and to play or wrestle, and as soon as he is done playing, he wants to cuddle right up next to you on the couch. And he is an expert Dane-style lap-sitter. Scooby would do best with kids over 10 years old as he is very playful and very large and doesn't always understand his size.  A familiarity with Great Danes is a plus, but not a necessity. Scooby needs consistent training to teach him to walk nicely on a leash and a basic obedience class will be required of his adopters.  Scooby has so much love to give and can't wait to find his forever family! No apartments, please. Scooby is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and neutered.  This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today!  Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.

Story
Hey there, I'm Fred, the mighty Great Dane! I'm only 7 months old, but I'm already pushing the scales close to 90 pounds. They say I'll probably top out around 200 pounds when I'm all grown up. With my sleek black fur and boundless energy, I'm a real looker, if I do say so myself. Oh, and I'm a boy, in case you were wondering. I've already got the whole house training thing down pat, and I'm not too shabby when it comes to hanging out in my crate, especially if there's some yummy food involved. But hey, who can blame me for being a bit food-motivated, right? Now, I haven't had much experience with kids yet, but I'm a total social butterfly with other dogs. As for cats, well, I did give chase to one when I met them, but my foster mom thinks I'll grow out of it with some proper guidance. Yep, I'm still a bit of a wild puppy, trying to figure out how to use all four of these paws of mine. If you're thinking about bringing me home, just keep in mind that having a fenced yard would be awesome for my safety. And I'll definitely need some training to help me be the best dog I can be. But I promise, with my playful spirit and gentle nature, I'll bring a whole lot of love and laughter to your home. Local adoptions only. We do not adopt out of the state of Illinois. Fred is being fostered in a private home. Appointments to meet him will be set up for approved adopters only. His adoption fee is $500 which includes all age appropriate vaccines. He is neutered, microchipped and Heartworm negative. He has also been kept on both flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. Please visit our website and fill out an application if you are interested. http://newstartdogrescue.org

Story
Hello there! I'm Wilma, the enchanting Great Dane with an old, wise name for such a young, playful pup like me. Born on 9/15/23, I'm currently 7 months old and tipping the scales at 70 lbs. My journey hasn't been conventional; I found myself in search of a new family, not because of anything I did, but because my human mom rescued me from a less-than-ideal situation. Despite not seeking any new pups, she opened her heart to me and my brother, providing us with safety, nourishment, and affection. Her love for us led her to find a forever home where we could flourish, and here I am, eagerly awaiting my happily ever after! I've already mastered the art of crate training and housebreaking – go me! I'm a social butterfly who adores humans of all sizes, showering them with kisses and attention. Playing with other dogs brings me immense joy, and while I can be submissive when needed, I also possess a spirited, confident personality. Give me some toys and bones, and I'll be entertained for hours, whether solo or with my furry friends. Plus, I make an excellent walking buddy! While I haven't had much formal training yet, I'm ready to embark on that journey with my new family. Together, we'll ensure that I grow into the most well-behaved princess in the kingdom! Although my friends don't think I'll become super large, I have a feeling I'll come close to 100 lbs once I've finished growing. So, if you're ready for a loyal companion who will grow alongside you, I might just be the perfect match for your castle! Local adoptions only. We do not adopt out of the state of Illinois. Wilma is being fostered in a private home. Appointments to meet her will be set up for approved adopters only. Her adoption fee is $500 which includes all age appropriate vaccines. She is spayed, microchipped and Heartworm negative. She has also been kept on both flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Mando is a big ol’ cuddle bug! He LOVES lovin’s. He loves people, kids, walks, toys, cuddles, and kisses. Mando was found at a home as a 5 month old puppy on a chain with no food or water. The owner was approached and eventually surrendered him. This poor boy is now 10 months old and has lived in a shelter his entire life. Mando would thrive in a home and deserves one of his very own. He is wonderful with other dogs and is untested with cats. Mando is a 10 month old male Dane mix who is approximately 60 lbs. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Mando is a big boy and still puppy playful, so he may be too much for small children. Fence required. This furbaby is located at Animal Harbor in southern middle TN. You can apply at www.animalharbor.org. If approved, we will facilitate a virtual meet and greet and answer any questions you may have. We partner with the awesome transport service company Rescue Riders to safely and professionally move our animals to their loving new homes!

Story
Meet Oreo, a 1-year-old male Great Dane/Black Labrador Retriever mix who is looking for his forever home! He is a big, lovable boy, weighing in at 70 pounds. He has a striking black and white coat, just like the cookie he's named after, and he's just as sweet. Oreo has a zest for life and is always happy and looking to have some fun! He is very strong on the leash, so his adopters should be comfortable handling a dog of his size and strength. Dont worry! We can show you how to manage him on leash. He would love a big yard where he can run and play all day long. His favorite thing to do is play tug and fetch! Oreo continues to work hard on his basic manners training. He's still trying to master loose leash walking, as he's still a young dog and a work in progress. But he loves his training time, knows sit and down, and with consistency, he'll quickly learn how to be a well-behaved companion. While Oreo did okay with kids in his previous home, he can be jumpy and mouthy at times, especially when he's super excited. Oreo also doesn't love sharing his highly prized items, so we recommend that any children in the household be over 12 years of age. Overall, Oreo is a smart and affectionate dog who will make a great companion for an experienced adopter who can provide him with the love, patience, and training he needs. If you're looking for an active and fun-loving dog, Oreo might just be the perfect match for you and he's here waiting to meet you! 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. Oreo is an all-star dog, and his adoption appointment includes a discussion with the training team, as well as a few enrichment goodies to help get you both off to a good start. To learn more about Oreo or to schedule an appointment to meet him, please email info@ahconnects.org (including your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to assist 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.
