Story
Laika is a sweet but nervous girl. She’s in need of someone to help build her confidence. She is very active and playful, loves to cuddle and give kisses. She has been around cats, rabbits, and other dogs. She’s great with smaller dogs but she’s nervous around larger dogs, though she will warm up. She is nervous meeting new people, especially men and loud children. She has never snapped, lunged, or bitten anyone. She displays her anxiety with tail tucking and barking. She is both pad trained and outdoor trained, walks well on a leash, knows basic commands, but can be rambunctious as she’s still young. I recommend no small children in the home as she is a jumper.

Story
Meet Raven! This pretty girl is a 3 year old Pitbull mix. She was adopted from here as a puppy but sadly, she was returned recently for not getting along with the cat in the home. Raven is the happiest girl! She is content and happy no matter what she is doing. Whether she is snuggled up in her bed with her favorite toy or playing in the play yard, she is always happy. She also loves to share her toys and will bring it to you. Raven is well mannered but needs to work on her jumping a little bit. She also keeps her kennel very clean. We are unsure how she is with other dogs but all dogs in the home will need to be present to meet her. She can’t be in a home with cats. Raven will be available for adoption tomorrow at 12pm and is eager to meet you. Please visit noahsarkanimals.org to review all adoption requirements and submit an applicationTo apply to adopt a dog from Noah's Ark in Rockford, IL, please visit noahsarkanimals.org.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Clyde came in with his friend Bonnie.  These poor dogs were left in a public restroom tied up.  Clyde had chewed through his leash but didn't leave Bonnie.  That being said, now that they are safe and comfortable they really aren't that attached and would probably do better separated.  Clyde does best with dogs his size or bigger and needs a slow introduction, he would be great all by himself, soaking up all the people attention.  He loves to play, especially fetch and has tons of energy to burn off.  He still needs some work on his manners but is doing much better on his chewing and seems to be housebroken and is working on his basic commands.  He has not met a cat yet and is most likely too much for them.  He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $350 To adopt Clyde fill out an application at https://www.kakf.org/forms/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 16, 2025, 7:26 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Princess is another one of the "Ottawa Pitties".  She came to us when her owner passed away and she and 7 of her friends were left abandoned in the cold.  She was very traumatized and took a while to warm up to people again but now she wants all the attention.  She hates to disappoint her people and will do anything for attention.  She knows all her commands and sits and waits nicely for her food as well.  She would probably be fine with kids but she can be very jealous and would do best as an only pet.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350 To adopt Princess fill out an application at https://www.kakf.org/forms/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 16, 2025, 7:26 pm
