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/   Waylon and Cash are 8 year old bonded male Australian Cattle Dogs who weigh in at 70 and 60 pounds respectively. The combined adoption fee for both dogs is $300.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Waylon and Cash find themselves in need of a new home. Their human dad had a major medical event and will be selling his home with a fenced yard and moving into more of an apartment type setting where the dogs would need to be walked. Due to balance issues, this will not be feasible for their dad to do. These brothers have been together since birth and are looking for a new home with a fenced yard where they can stay together. Anyone who is familiar with Australian Cattle Dogs knows they need regular activity and exercise. Waylon and Cash would love a new home where they have the opportunity for daily walks/exercise. They do get excited when seeing other dogs on walks but will bark and react more toward each other than the other dog(s). They were raised with young children and continue to see little kids regularly. They are sturdy herding breed dogs so a family who would keep them well exercised and monitor interaction to avoid anyone getting knocked over or too excited/mouthy will be important. Waylon and Cash will sleep in the bedroom with you at night, but not on the bed. They are good with free roam of the house for approximately 6 hours. Waylon and Cash have always been treated well and have had a great home. Will you give them a chance and provide their new forever home? Waylon and Cash are microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and neutered.  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.   Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation!

Australian Cattle Dog Husky

Naperville, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Flynn is a mix of some of the smartest, most loyal working breeds out there—Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, English Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, and Border Collie—which basically means he’s equal parts brilliant, active, and deeply devoted 🤍 He came to us as a stray back in September with his brother, who has since been adopted. Flynn likes to take a moment to assess new people or situations before deciding he’s all in—and once he is… he really is. He forms strong bonds with his people and naturally wants to look out for them and his home, making him a loyal companion who just needs a little help continuing to build confidence in the world around him. Flynn is house trained, highly dog-friendly, and absolutely thrives when he has space to run—he loves being out in the yard and staying active. Because of his breed mix, he’ll do best in a home that understands working dogs and can provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. He would benefit from continued confidence-building and positive training to help him feel his best in new situations, but he’s already a smart, capable dog who wants to learn and connect. We don't feel that he would do best with young children as he's still learning himself. Flynn may not be the type to immediately demand attention from everyone he meets, but give him a little time and consistency, and you’ll discover a loyal, intelligent, and loving dog who will be right by your side every step of the way 💛

Story
At just 1 year old and a perfect compact size of 33 pounds, this handsome guy is ready to find a family to call his own! He's still learning the ways of the world and working on building his confidence, so he may need a little time to warm up to new people and experiences. But don't let that fool you! Once he feels comfortable and starts to trust you, his sweet personality really shines. Once he's out of his shell, he's full of energy, happiness, and excitement for life! He's got so much love and personality to share with the people he trusts, and he's just waiting for someone willing to give him the patience and encouragement he needs to blossom. He would love a family who understands that confidence takes time and is willing to celebrate all the little victories along the way. If you're looking for a fun, sweet companion with a little growing to do and a whole lot of love to give, this 33-pound sweetheart could be your perfect match! A little patience goes a long way, and the love you'll get in return is worth every minute! ❤️🐶
