Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact BRu 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/ Indigo is a 2 year old female Great Dane who weighs in at 86 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $500. If you are still interested, please read more below. Indigo (Indy) is an extremely affectionate dog and is adamant about seeking pets and hugs from her foster mom. Indy is a little hesitant upon first meeting someone but she warms up quickly, especially with treats, and likes to lean on the person for affection. Indy is an energetic dog who gets the zoomies and "bounces" the minute she's let outside. She isn't aware of her size and strength when playing, therefore a family with older children would be recommended. Although Indy has been diagnosed with mild degenerative joint disease in her right hip it doesn't seem to slow her down. Her foster mom jokes that Indy has 2 speeds: full throttle and sleep mode. Indy would do well with an active family to help her burn off some of her energy. Indy has been treated for heartworm and will need to keep her energy contained until about mid August to keep her heartrate down. After that she will be all good and will have no negative health effects from it. She will be able to get back to her zoomies! Indy is extremely food motivated which should make basic training easy, however she shows some fearfulness complying with training commands. She will need a family with patience to continue her training. She has learned what "nose off the counter/table" means and complies well. Indy is potty trained and lets her foster mom know when she needs to go out by jingling the bells hanging on the back doorknob. She is crated when her foster mom goes to work but is left out during the night. She is a really good girl! Indigo 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.
