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/ Don't let the name fool you! Charlie is a 2.5 year old FEMALE Great Dane who came to ARF very skinny and now weighs in at 95 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $650. If you are still interested, please read more below. Charlie is a typical Great Dane - a sweet girl full of love. She will be right there with you on the couch taking all the attention you can give. Charlie loves to meet and play with other dogs of all sizes but is not friendly with other small animals. She has not been cat tested. She loves to play with the other dog in her foster home in the backyard. Charlie is housebroken except for a few accidents when she was first adjusting to her new environment. Charlie needs some basic training. She is smart and very food motivated so she picks things up quickly with treat rewards. She can be shy with new people at first, but she warms up to them easily after a little time and a treat or two. Given her size, she would do best with older children. She likes to lean on people and her play style may be too much for little humans. Any adopter needs to be prepared for how big Charlie is, and she will go for food her reach - she can reach the top of the refrigerator! She only goes for food when her foster is out of the house. She is a good girl when her foster is home. Her foster feels confident she can be trained out of her refrigerator surfing. She has already gotten better with a little training and her human putting everything away when going out. Charlie is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and spayed. 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.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
