Hans Solo is handsome little guy!  This boy has confidence! He is peppy and loves belly rubs. He has a cute growl-puff thing he does. He sometimes gives an alarm bark but settles down quickly. He enjoys shaking his soft toy with great vigor. Most of all he likes to follow his humans around and weave between their legs once you are standing still. This spunky little boy loves everyone - human or dog. We haven’t seen him with cats yet. Hans had been wearing a belly band (diaper) inside after some initial marking. He potties as soon as he gets outside, so seems to have had some training. He happily sleeps in his crate at night. He has a great personality! He would love to meet his future family soon! Hans Solo 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!

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/   DEXTER HAS DENTAL WORK SCHEDULED FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 7th  AND WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AFTER. Dexter is a 6 year old male Maltese who weighs in at 12 pounds.  This dog's adoption fee is $450.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Dexter has the potential for being a very loving dog.  Due to his history of basically not having loving human interaction he is wary when approached and runs away.  When his foster is able to pick him up he is tense but very calm.  He never shows any sign of aggression or defensiveness.  He will lay in his foster's arms and lap.  When Dexter first arrived he did not know how to use stairs but has since become comfortable going up stairs - he is still learning to go down.  He will not take a treat from your hand, but will if it is left on the floor for him. He is not leash trained but we're working on it.  He has learned to use the doggie door on his own.    Dexter has lots of doggie companions in his foster home and he loves being with them.  He will play with them and his tail is nearly always wagging. He is very close with another foster dog who came in with him - Bentley, an 8 year old Shih Tzu.   Dexter will follow his foster and always looks to see what is going on. His foster feels Dexter really wants to be loved and just needs time and patience to be fully trusting. He gets excited with the other dogs when their food is being prepared and eats very well.  He can be a bit vocal at times - letting you know he wants attention even though he is still on the wary side.  Dexter 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!

Story
Ebony and Ivory are a bonded pair looking for a forever home together.Ebony (14 lbs.) and Ivory (8 lbs.) were local strays. They were in terrible shape when found and horribly matted. Now that these sweet girls are safe with AHF, they`re looking and feeling so much better. Ivory loves to cuddle, and Ebony is more playful but loves cuddling too. They`re both very loving. We think Ivory is a maltese mix and Ebony may be a schnauzer/shih tzu mix. Both girls walk on leash. They do not get crated when their foster leaves the house and do fine confined to a large room. They get along with the other dogs in their foster home and have been friendly with kids they`ve met at adoption events. Ebony seems potty trained and Ivory is mostly; she`ll sometimes use potty pads if they`re out for other pups.If you have room in your heart and home for Ebony and Ivory, please fill out an application so you can meet them and learn more. Adoption fee is $360Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash, Zelle, or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Story
Meet Wrigley! This playful 2-year-old is looking for a home where he can thrive. He loves cuddles, toys, and car rides, and is potty and crate trained after completing puppy obedience school. While he’s affectionate and fun, Wrigley needs a patient family to help him with some habits, like chewing, barking, and refining his recall. He has an adorable little underbite and a front leg twist, which the vet says does not cause pain but may lead to arthritis in his old age. Wrigley needs a home as the only pet, as his energetic nature is too much for his senior dog sibling. He’s a sweet little boy who is ready to give all his love and puppy snuggles to a family willing to guide him as he grows.
