My name is Leighton!

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  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/  

Meet Leighton, also known as Lele!
This 12-week-old, 6-pound Beagle/Lab mix is the definition of sweet and patient. When her brother and sisters are barking up a storm for dinner, Leighton calmly sits and waits her turn like the polite little lady she is. Lele is doing great with wee pads and almost always uses them when it’s time to take care of business—such a smart girl!  Her favorite game seems to be tug-of-war, but when playtime winds down, she’s more than happy to cuddle up for some serious snuggle time.

Leighton will be available for adoption after her spay on January 27th. Her adoption fee is $450.

If you’re looking for a gentle, well-mannered pup with a snuggly side and a heart of gold, Leighton may be your perfect match!

This pup is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and will be spayed prior to adoption. The new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. 

Please note ARF does not approve applications for any puppy under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting this pup fill out an online application today!  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/  Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.  ARF is an all volunteer organization.  Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved.  Thank you for your patience! 

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 https://www.arf-il.org/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: https://www.arf-il.org/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 https://www.arf-il.org/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events. 

Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop!
