Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact JSo 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/   Bandit is a 6 month old male Maltese/Shih Tzu/Bichon.  This dog's adoption fee is $900.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Meet Bandit. He is very very cute and as much as his foster wants to cuddle with him and show him the love an animal should get, we have to do things on his time.  He is still learning about humans and does not trust fast movements. He loves his foster brother, a mini-schnauzer.  He follows him everywhere and loves to play and sleep with him. He will do best with another dog in the home.  Bandit is a silly boy and loves to play just like a puppy should.  His foster brother loves humans and Bandit is slowly warming up and coming closer and closer to humans. Bandit does submissive pee.  Urination accompanied by submissive behavior  is known as submissive urination. The underlying cause of submissive urination is fear. A number of triggers such as a person approaching, punishment, scolding, and a deep and loud voice can cause dogs of any age to urinate submissively. As he gets more comfortable with humans and trusts humans he should outgrow this.  He needs someone who is patience and understands that it will take time for him to feel comfortable.   Each day Bandit is realizing that humans are not all bad. He will come and lick his foster human’s toes and will lay next his foster's feet at night when the house is calm and his foster dog brother is snuggling with his human. Bandit is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and neutered.  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. Please visit https://www.arf-il.org/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events.  Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop! March 26, 2024, 10:36 pm

Story
Meet Mamba, a goofy four year old Maltese mix available for adoption. Mamba came to JTAC as a stray and after we traced his microchip, we found out that he was rehomed a year or so ago and didn't have the new owner's information. During his stray hold, we checked online and our lost reports and sadly, nothing came up. Mamba is back on the market and cannot wait for you to meet him. Mamba is quite goofy and has a very comical personality. If it isn't his goofy underbite/grin that gets you laughing, it will definitely be his furry antics. He loves toys and hops to chase them (sometimes too quickly, as he'll forget to pump the breaks and slide ever so graciously into the wall). He loves treats and will dance on his tippy toes to beg. Mamba just loves attention and is willing to share it with children and/or other cats/dogs. He's part of a playgroup where he loves to wrestle with his buddies outside. Mamba will also pout and whimper to let you know that he is displeased, whether it be because you're not holding him or during bathtime. His adoption fee is $245, which includes his vaccines, fecal exam, deworming, heartworm test, flea/heartworm prevention, registered microchip, and neuter.

Story
Donny Angel is a spunky little guy! He’s very mobile for his age and like to sneak off with toys and treats for a moment to himself. He’s very much a character! Donny Angel can be fearful and is triggered by quick movements or hands in his face, so we would want to pair him to an adult-only home. He is very much a lap dog and will give you a lot of companionship. He would prefer not to share his forever home with any other dogs. He wants to have your complete attention. This sweet guy is about 5lbs and around 10 years old.

Story
Pippy was surrendered to our center when her guardian was not able to adequately care for her. She is a very sweet girl who needs a lot of love and attention. When she first arrived at the rescue, her coat was very matted and covered in feces and urine, due to confinement to a crate. Pippy will need a patient person to understand what she has been through and commitment for her puppy training.
