You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact BW 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/   Lourdes is a sweet pup who her fosters have been calling Lulu.  Do you have what it takes to earn Lulus’ Love? At 45 pounds, Lulu (Lourdes) is a beautiful, elegant, chill girl. Estimated to be 4ish years old, she is a gentle soul, who prefers to relax in her bed, rather than scamper around the house like our other pups. Having spent the first few years of her life as a breeding mama, her human experiences were clearly limited and somewhat scary. It takes a special person to gain her trust. She cowered in the corner for weeks before leaning into to the love she so deeply deserves. She interacts daily with other dogs and our middle schooler, plus has been exposed to small children and seniors. Tug on her tail, rub her paws, take away food or toys…she has never shown a single sign of aggression. She is 100% house trained with only an occasional accident when she gets frightened. As an added bonus, she has little to no shedding and hasn’t bothered any of the allergy sufferers that visit our home. This girl would love a big backyard, she can explore, as she isn’t too keen on leash walking quite yet. She is content to be alone, so her owners are free to go to work or out for the day – as long as they come home and let her hang near you for the rest of the day.  Lulu is more than ok to sleep alone, but probably wouldn’t mind sharing your bed as long as you give her plenty of room to spread out – lol. New owners must have a calm, patient personality, willing to prove they are worthy of her love. We expect it to take several weeks for her to adapt to a new home, but once she decides you are her new person, she will be your devoted companion forever!   Lourdes is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken and spayed .  This dog's new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. The adoption fee for this pet is $300.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're 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. Please visit https://www.arf-il.org/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events.  Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop! April 23, 2024, 10:35 am

Story
Introducing Fay, a 1-year-old retriever mix who is ready to find her forever home! This sweet and timid pup is currently residing at the shelter, working on building her confidence and overcoming her fears. This clever pup is highly food-motivated, making her an excellent candidate for learning new tricks and basic obedience skills. With some yummy treats as motivation, Fay is sure to impress you with her intelligence and eagerness to please. Fay's ideal home would be one that understands her needs and is willing to help her grow and flourish. She would thrive in a household with another confident dog as a role model, as they can guide her and show her that the outside world is a safe and fun place to explore. As Fay can be easily startled by loud noises and cars driving by, a closed-in backyard would provide her with a safe and secure environment. This will allow her to gradually overcome her fears and help her feel more at ease in her surroundings. If you are a patient and compassionate person looking to make a positive impact on a shelter dog's life, Fay could be the perfect match for you. With time, love, and understanding, Fay will surely blossom into a confident and happy companion. Socialization, training (including house training), and exercise are just a few of the things she will look to you for. Chewing, teething, and learning what is Okay and not Okay to put in her mouth are all part of the puppy experience. And, be prepared for the time and money for frequent trips to the vet during the first few months so she can get up to date on her boosters and vaccines. But most of all, be prepared for all of the LOVE, puppy kisses, and joy she will bring into your life. I am an All-Star dog! My adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and I will go home with my very own no pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get us off to a good start. To learn more about me or to schedule an appointment to meet me, email info@ahconnects.org (please include your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to help you! I hope to meet you soon! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (6 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Story
CHARACTERISTICS Friendly, Affectionate, Loyal, Gentle, Playful, Smart, Brave, Curious, Funny, Loves Kisses HEALTH Vaccinations up to date, neutered. GOOD IN A HOME WITH Other dogs, children. Cats unknown. Meet Respect, the most endearing puppy with a knack for comedic mischief. Once upon a time, Respect, in his relentless pursuit of a squirrel, ended up stuck in the city's tallest oak tree. The squirrel, probably amused, watched as the fire department arrived to rescue our hero. The firemen, laughing at the absurdity, brought him to the shelter, dubbing him 'Respect' for his brave, albeit misguided, adventure. Respect is a bundle of joy, a loyal companion and a goofy playmate. His curiosity and intelligence make every day an adventure. His gentleness and friendliness make him a perfect family pet. Adopt Respect, because every home deserves a hero who can make them laugh. Respect's adoption fee is $450 which includes being fully vetted, neutered, microchipped and fecal exam. Note: All dogs require a $100 cash training deposit. Once confirmation of the completion of a training class has been sent to the rescue, you will receive your deposit back in full. As we are a rescue all of our adult dogs/puppies for adoption must be spayed or neutered. Although we make every attempt to have this done before finding their adoptive families, this is not always possible. Please speak with your adoption coordinator to see of this service has already been performed or they will explain to you if your new dog/puppy will need this service while in your care at no cost to you.
