In the anime

Gary Oak has an Arcanine. The first time it was seen was in The Battle of the Badge.

Arcanine and its pre-evolution, Growlithe, have often been seen being used as police dogs.

Ash battled an Arcanine in Fire and Ice. This Arcanine was under the ownership of Pete Pebbleman and was his final Pokémon. Despite the type disadvantage, Pete's Arcanine easily defeated Ash's Kingler by dodging its Bubble attack and using Dragon Rage. Pikachu managed to defeat the Arcanine with a Thunderbolt attack after the Ice Field melted due to Arcanine's Fire Blast.

In The Stolen Stones, two trainers named Ramona and Keagan each had an Arcanine.

In On Cloud Arcanine, Drew and May wanted to capture an Arcanine for a Pokémon Contest. When it was discovered that the Ledgendary Pokémon had a litter of Growlithe puppies to take of, the two rivals decided to leave Arcanine alone.

In Tactics Theatrics, Dome Ace Tucker used Arcanine and Swampert to battle against Ash's Swellow and Corphish.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, Blaine is seen to have an Arcanine from a flashback in Volume 3, when he recalls a confrontation with Team Rocket.

Crystal has an Arcanine, whom she uses for transport at times. It is able to hit targets fast and hard using its ExtremeSpeed. As explained in a flashback in Volume 11, Arcanine was a wild Pokémon from Mt. Mortar whose left eye was injured five years ago. The cause is revealed to be a Larvitar prankster, whom Crystal manages to capture.
