Story
Pugsley, or Brillo as a previous foster called him, is a sweet, affectionate guy with an interesting hairdo who would love to find his forever home! He loves stuffy babies, snuggling with people, going on car rides, and is a great walker! He gets along well with other dogs as long as they are polite and calm around him. He finds it a bit intimidating and downright rude when a dog gets in his face! He takes a little extra time to trust new people, preferring to take it slow when making new friends. He feels safer with women than men, but given time will be friends with anyone. He definitely needs extra support during loud events like storms, fireworks, and the dreaded vacuum cleaner! Basically, he just needs a quieter home where he is given the time he needs to feel comfortable and bond with his new family. If you think you are the one for Pugsley, apply to meet him today!

Story
Meet Lola! Lola is a 6-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 8 pounds, and this sweet little girl has so much love to give! Lola has officially retired from being a mama after raising her beautiful babies, and now she is ready for the best chapter of her life—being someone's beloved companion. Lola came to the rescue after spending her life living in a car with her owner. While that may have been the situation she knew, it wasn't the life Lola or her puppies deserved. The rescue stepped in to give this little family a safe place to grow and thrive. Now her babies are growing up, and it's Lola's turn to find her forever home. Lola's Personality Lola is super sweet, loving, and affectionate. She loves being close to her people and would happily spend her days right by your side. At only 8 pounds, she's the perfect little size to be your companion wherever life takes you. She's an easygoing girl who gets along wonderfully with other animals, making her a great addition to many different types of families. Great With Dogs Lola is fantastic with dogs of all sizes! Whether she's meeting a big dog or a little dog, she gets along beautifully. She would be perfectly happy living with another friendly canine companion, but she doesn't need another dog to be happy. What Lola really wants is a family of her own. Cat Friendly Good news for cat lovers—Lola is cat friendly! She has done well around cats and would be a great option for a home that already has feline family members. Life With Lola Lola is crate trained and is currently working on her potty training. She is past the puppy stage and doesn't need a family looking for a high-energy dog. She would be happy relaxing with her people, getting some attention, and enjoying the comforts of home. Whether you live an active lifestyle or prefer quiet evenings at home, Lola could fit beautifully into your life. Lola's Next Chapter Lola has spent her life caring for others. She raised her beautiful puppies and made sure they had the start they needed. Now she deserves someone who will care for her. She deserves a soft bed, a safe home, a full belly, plenty of affection, and a family who will never let her wonder where she belongs again. It's Lola's turn to be spoiled. Why Lola? Lola is: 6 years old 8 pounds Super sweet and loving Great with dogs of all sizes Cat friendly Crate trained Working on potty training Loves being close to her people Adaptable and easygoing Lola would be a wonderful fit for just about any family or lifestyle. If you're looking for a little Chihuahua with a huge heart, Lola may be the perfect girl for you. After everything she's been through and everything she's done for her babies, Lola is finally ready for someone to make her the center of their world.

Story
##2672819## Meet Sonny and Vinny a bonded pair of brothers waiting for a home! If you were wondering whos running the show... it’s Sonny. There's no debate, no committee, and no appeals process just Sonny, confidently presiding over his household like the tiny, spicy emperor he was born to be. Sonny isn't the type to launch into big cuddles or overly enthusiastic affection he prefers to keep things classy, controlled, and entirely on his terms. Think of him as a companion who enjoys your presence... from a respectful distance... while he evaluates your performance as a roommate. Lets be honest though this is Sonny's world, and were all just living in it. And he would like everyone to remember that. Sonny is your classic spicy Chihuahua: small in size, enormous in authority. He's got opinions, confidence, and absolutely no confusion about who should be running the household (spoiler: its him). He doesn't ask, he declares. He doesn't suggest, he decides. Visitors are accepted on a strictly case-by-case basis, pending approval from management (Sonny). Underneath the tiny dictatorship, though, there's a dog who does enjoy companionship in his own very refined way. Once you've earned your place in his inner circle, hell share quiet company, subtle affection, and the occasional honor of existing nearby him. Sonny would thrive in a calm, predictable home where his leadership skills are respected and his boundaries are honored. In return, he will generously allow you to live in his house, breathe his air, and witness his greatness on a daily basis. If you're patient, dog-savvy, and ready to be lovingly ruled by a tiny spicy overlord with a very big personality, Sonny might just consider letting you join his empire. His most loyal subject is his bonded friend, Vinny and together, they are a perfectly unbalanced royal court of chaos and charm. Sonny, of course, reigns supreme. The ruler. The authority. The tiny spicy emperor who oversees all household operations with unwavering confidence and absolutely zero need for input from the public. And then there's Vinny. Vinny is the jester, the happy-go-lucky sidekick of the kingdom always joyful, always zooming, and deeply committed to the sacred art of having the best time possible. His entire world revolves around friendship, fun, and a tennis ball he treats like pure treasure. If Sonny is the law, Vinny is the celebration after the law is announced. Together, they balance each other in a way that somehow just works. Sonny provides structure, rules, and royal judgment. Vinny provides chaos, joy, and emotional support in the form of nonstop optimism and ball-chasing enthusiasm. Its a dynamic that makes perfect sense in their world: one rules the empire, the other keeps it bright, and the tennis ball remains the true center of Vinny's universe arguably more powerful than anything else in the kingdom (though absolutely no one is saying that where Sonny can hear). If you're interested in meeting them, please fill out the application below! https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/33545/generic

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.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/   Lucy is a 5 year old female long haired Chihuahua who weighs in at 13.6 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $400.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Lucy is a very sweet and spunky girl who is a bit nervous in new places/situations but warms up fairly quickly with reassurance, patience, and time. She loves to play with her toys and, while she can be energetic and silly, she also loves to curl up near you on the couch for a long nap. She is great at self-entertaining while her foster works from home and will happily play with her toys, watch out the window, or nap close by in her crate (by choice). She is absolutely adorable and will get very wiggly and smiley if you hype her up by tell her what a good girl she is.  Lucy appears to be fully housebroken (she has only had one accident so far and it was within the first 24 hours).  She hasn't tried to get into anything she shouldn't and isn't destructive.  She is crate trained and is calm and quiet in her crate, often choosing to nap there with the door open during the day. She also sleeps all night in her crate but would likely love to sleep with her person/people. She is friendly with dogs and greets them appropriately. We have been told that she is good with kids and cats though she hasn't interacted with either in her foster home. Lucy is still working on leash walking as she is a little nervous outside sometimes. She prefers to do her business and head back into the house.  Lucy would do well with other pets or as an only dog. Very young children who haven't been exposed to small dogs may be a bit much for her to live with but we believe she would fit into most households as long as her family is willing to take things at her pace while building her confidence to make her feel comfortable and safe. She seems very adaptable and has picked up on her foster’s routine very quickly.  If you're looking for a sweet dog who will make you laugh and be your little sidekick, Lucy is your girl!  Lucy 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.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.   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.
