Description

Dog Breed: Great Dane (short coat). Adoption Fee: 650. 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 .arf-il/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. Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation! We are based in Wheaton, IL and conduct adoption events in the DuPage County area. If you are interested in adopting one of our pets, please submit an adoption application at .arf-il/adopt/application/ Adoption appointments are scheduled based on the order of applications received, so submit your application early! Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions or schedule meetings until your application has been approved. More information about our adoption process can be found on our website here: .arf-il/adopt/ As an all-volunteer, foster home-based organization, A.R.F. Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. Please visit .arf-il/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events. Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop!

Great Dane

A.K.A.: German Mastiff, Deutsche Dogge, Dänische Dogge, Tigerdogge, Ulmer Dogge, Englische Dogge, Grand Danois, Dogue Allemand, Great German Dog, Apollo of Dogs, King of Hounds, Gentle Giant, Dane
Overview:

The Great Dane is an impressive and regal breed, often dubbed the "Apollo of Dogs" for its dignified stature and noble appearance. Originating in Germany, where it was historically bred for hunting boar, this giant breed is renowned for its immense size and striking presence. Physically, Great Danes are characterized by their tall, muscular build, short coat (available in various colors like fawn, brindle, black, blue, and harlequin), and expressive eyes. Despite their formidable size, they possess a surprisingly gentle and affectionate temperament, making them wonderful family companions. They are known for being patient with children and generally get along well with other pets. While their size might suggest otherwise, Great Danes can adapt to apartment living if provided with sufficient daily exercise, as they are not overly energetic indoors. However, prospective owners should be aware of certain health considerations, including a predisposition to bloat (gastric dilatation-volvulus), hip dysplasia, and certain heart conditions, necessitating careful breeding and regular veterinary check-ups. Overall, a Great Dane offers a loving and loyal addition to the right home.
