they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at .arf-il/adopt/application/ Michelle is a 2 year old female Lab mix who weighs in at approximately 45 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $450. If you are still interested, please read more below. Michelle is a sweet, gentle, low-key dog. She has significantly improved since she first came to us. Michelle can take some time to get comfortable, but once she does, she is truly a sweetheart! She loves to cuddle with her humans! Michelle is calm and is good with kids once she gets to know them. She enjoys walks in the park and does well on a leash. She also loves to run free in large outdoor areas, but comes back immediately when called. She is housetrained and is able to alert her foster when she needs to go outside! Michelle will need time to get comfortable and acclimate to her new home. It took her a couple months to feel ready to leave the room that her bed is in, but now she enjoys the whole house and loves to be wherever the family is. She is still fearful of other dogs and new or unusual noises, but she just needs someone who can work with her. Meetings with Michelle will need to be at her foster’s home. It will take multiple meetings with Michelle. She is a truly special dog that deserves to find her forever home where she can flourish! Attached is a video of Michelle running around and tossing her own ball in the air to run after it again! She also loves to wiggle around in the grass! Also, check out this cute video of Michelle: youtube/shorts/F_9fDjpaYqg?si=biR16aNIxignQouT Michelle is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housetrained, and spayed. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
