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/   Alfie is a 3 month old male Mauzer who weighs in at 6 pounds.  This pup's adoption fee is $850.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Meet Alfie (short for Alfalfa because of his crazy hair)! He is a bundle of energy but also loves to snuggle more than anything. He has had no troubles interacting with other dogs. He loves people but is a little shy at first. He is great on walks but still doesn’t know that’s when you go to the bathroom. However, he has been VERY good at using pee pads. He loves mini tennis balls, golf balls, and regular tennis balls - basically he just loves to play fetch! He is the absolute sweetest boy who would do best in a home with someone who can be home with him more often than not. This pup is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and neutered. 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!  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! October 9, 2026, 12:07 am

Story
We intervened Falkor being transferred from a breeder to another breeder when he was just a puppy. We paid $400. He is neutered & up to date on all shots & has had recent full blood work. He is a healthy & loving dog. He loves to play & go for leashed walks. He enjoys the dog park, treats & playing with humans as well. He loves to nap with humans, he is a cuddle bug. He loves his jammies & the groomers absolutely adore him. He is also very easy to bathe at home. His favorite treats are pizzles & he has a favorite squeaky bat toy. He comes with a den that he sleeps in at night. He will go potty outside & adjust to your schedule for both sleep and potty breaks. He has some sound & food sensitivity, we usually administer 1/3 of a benedryl to combat these issues. As far as what we hope for for Falkors new home, we would like an animal loving family that has experience with small dogs. A patient one willing to to train him new fun things & give him the attention he deserves.
