Story
Meet Raven! This pretty girl is a 3 year old Pitbull mix. She was adopted from here as a puppy but sadly, she was returned recently for not getting along with the cat in the home. Raven is the happiest girl! She is content and happy no matter what she is doing. Whether she is snuggled up in her bed with her favorite toy or playing in the play yard, she is always happy. She also loves to share her toys and will bring it to you. Raven is well mannered but needs to work on her jumping a little bit. She also keeps her kennel very clean. We are unsure how she is with other dogs but all dogs in the home will need to be present to meet her. She can’t be in a home with cats. Raven will be available for adoption tomorrow at 12pm and is eager to meet you. Please visit noahsarkanimals.org to review all adoption requirements and submit an applicationTo apply to adopt a dog from Noah's Ark in Rockford, IL, please visit noahsarkanimals.org.

Story
Name: Aspen BoyBreed: Pittie MixDOB: 5/21/24Good with kids: YESGood with dogs: YESGood with cats: YESFoster location: Fitchburg, WIAdoption fee: $400Fun Bio: Hi, I’m Aspen! I am a lively 8 month old puppy and I'm still learning a lot about the world but I'm picking up on things quickly! I'm mostly potty trained but you may want to expect some accidents as I transition into your home. My foster parents put bells on the back door so I can politely tell them I need to go out but I haven't mastered them just yet. Due to my past living with an aggressive dog, I have learned to resource guard my favorite person (not food or toys) but my foster mom believes I can be trained out of this behavior because I'm so smart and sweet otherwise. We highly recommend a home with no dogs or only one other dog but they should stay mostly separated or highly supervised until my resource guarding is under control. I've never met a cat before. I really love to play fetch (but will eventually destroy the tennis ball). I get super wiggly and love to bounce around when I want something. When it's time to settle down I'm a master at cuddling and I'm very good in a crate at night.  If interested in a pet from us please fill out the adoption application that is located on our website.  We process applications in the order in which they are received.  We will likely not respond to interest emails regarding puppies and/or kittens, we get so many "interest" emails that we simply do not have the time to respond to each one.  We always recommend crate training, positive reinforcement training, exercise, playtime, and a regular schedule for potty breaks when bringing a new dog/puppy into your home. Adjustment takes time for both you and your new family member, so remember to be patient and enjoy this new and exciting time!Included in the adoption fee are age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, and microchip. ##2294550##

Story
We are excited to introduce Carter, a sweet and loving senior dog who is sure to steal your heart. Carter is a gentle giant with a playful side, making him the perfect companion for those looking for a calm yet fun-loving dog. While he enjoys spending time in dog play groups, his energy does tire out quickly, and after a good romp, he`s ready to settle in for a cozy snuggle. Carter is affectionate, kind, and would be an ideal addition to any home looking for a low-key yet loving companion. Carter is the H&H Exteriors Dog of the Month! This means that our friends down at H&H Exteriors have paid for his adoption fee! Thank you to our Pet Spotlight partner!*Carters care is being sponsored by Sean M. - Thank you Sean!Carter is currently enjoying the comforts of a foster home. If you’d like to meet with him, give The Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin a call at (608)752-5622 to schedule an appointment with their foster!
