Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact MBr for more information about this pet.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/   Bella is a 7 year old female Chihuahua who weighs in at 7.8 pounds.  This dog's adoption fee is $350.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Bella is a sweet little Chihuahua with a heart full of love and a personality much bigger than her tiny size. She will need some patience and time to adjust to her new home. Her favorite place in the world is curled up in someone’s lap, soaking up cuddles and giving endless kisses. If Bella had it her way, she would follow her humans around all day long just to stay close by and be part of everything they do. Bella is in a foster home with other dogs but does not choose to interact with them at all. She likes to keep to herself and hang with her humans! She met some neighborhood children recently, and went right up to them and wanted to be held/pet! She has not been around cats, so how she does with them is unknown. In her current foster home, Bella is housetrained and will use potty pads if needed. This food-motivated girl never misses the sound of a treat bag opening and is always ready for a snack. She also has a huge love for walks — so much so that she’ll cry and beg until someone grabs the leash. Whether she’s trotting happily beside you or snuggled up in your arms afterward, Bella’s loving, loyal personality makes her impossible not to adore. Bella 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!

She's primarily been housed with seniors, but should do fine with children. Available in the next 7-10 days. Must be re-homed before July 1st.

Story
Twitch is a good boy, but I made the mistake of thinking that because he loves being around other dogs, that meant he'd be happy with a doggy sibling. However, he became aggressive to our other dog, and despite our best efforts, it's continued to escalate.He needs a home where he's an only dog, but he does love visiting with dogs. He also loves being outside, and he'd be much happier with a yard. He has not taken to potty pads, but he's consistent with his potty training when he has access to a yard. He's quite shy with strangers, especially men, but gets very close with his caretakers. He quickly became buddies with a friend who watched him for 2 weeks. He's ok with kids but would do better in a home without them. He gets very excited for car rides and knows basic commands. He enjoys wearing clothes and loves showing off how cute he is in them! His favorite way to spend his time is napping next to his people. Just give him a little time to warm up and he'll be a great lap companion!
