Meet Dawn

Dawn is a 10 month old female Dane/Mastiff who weighs in at 92 pounds.  This dog's adoption fee is $500.  If you are still interested, please read more below.

COMING SOON!!!  You can meet me with an approved application, and take me home after I am spayed on December 17th.

Hi, I’m Dawn. Let me tell you a little about me. The first part of my life wasn’t great. My sister and I were kept outside all the time, and we didn’t get enough food and water. Then the police came and took us to a shelter.  The shelter told ARF I only weighed 21 pounds when I was 5 months old. The shelter fed me and kept me safe until my foster family took me to their house. I went to the vet and I weigh 92 pounds now! And I don’t think I’m done ‘cuz I’m only 10 months old. I’m super soft and cuddly. I really enjoy having a yard to run around in and I’m playful. You might want to watch my videos. I haven’t had much time to learn manners, so I will need to take obedience classes. I also am afraid to get in the SUV at my foster’s house, but once I’m in I lie down and ride quietly. I am house-trained and crate trained, and that makes my foster family very happy. I really like other dogs, and I play well with them even though I’m a bit bigger than the labradoodle I live with now. I am still learning not to jump on people. I probably shouldn’t be in a family with small children, because I could hurt them accidentally. If you want to meet me, please fill out an application. I will be spayed on December 17th and can go to my new home after that. I’m really a sweet girl and am excited to meet you.

Dawn is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and will be spayed prior to adoption.  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.

Dawn is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. Learn more about our pet adoption process.

All pets adopted from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation include the following as part of their adoption fee:

  • Spay/neuter or a certificate for a low-cost spay/neuter when medically recommended
  • Microchip and registration, a permanent identification to reunite lost pets with their owners
  • Initial de-worming and flea and tick treatment
  • Age-appropriate testing for heartworm/FIV-FELV
  • Age-appropriate vaccines
  • Pre-adoption medical exam
  • A certificate for a free healthy pet exam at one of A.R.F.’s participating veterinarians within 7 days of adoption
  • Offer for a no-risk 30 day free trial with Trupanion pet medical insurance

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. 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 until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.

We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.

A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit all of our animals.  The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.

If you’re invited to meet an animal:

  • Plan to arrive early, as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
  • All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.

Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
