You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact DRa 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/ Benson is a 4 month old male Maltipoo who weighs in at 6.2 pounds. This pup's adoption fee is $850 . If you are still interested, please read more below. ARF is looking for someone interested in adopting both Austin and Benson. Hi! I’m Benson and I’m quite a character. My brother Austin and I are quite the pair. We love playing together. And we love playing with any other dog that is around. We were rescued from a puppy mill and weren’t exposed to humans much. We are a bit shy being approached by people but I’m getting much better. I have gotten more open with people since coming to ARF. Austin has been a little more reserved. So far, we are not too comfortable being held, but we should get better with time and love. We love all dogs. Little dogs, big dogs and anything in between. We sleep in a crate at night now because we liked to run around and play and get the other dogs all excited at 2 or 3 in the morning. We might whine just a little but we are pretty quiet all night long. We’re not really house trained yet, but I think we’ll get it pretty quick. We haven’t made a mess in the crate for a while and when we get up in the morning we run outside and take care of business. It would be great if these young brothers could be kept together! They rely on each other when unsure of the world around them. 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.
