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/   Jaxon is a 9.5 year old male Shih Tzu who weighs in at 19 pounds.  This dog's adoption fee is $350.  If you are still interested, please read more below. Meet Jaxon! He was surrendered because his family could no longer keep him when their child developed allergies. They had him as a puppy and he doesn’t understand what happened. He is the sweetest dog who walks great on a leash, is housetrained, and won’t go on furniture when told not to. He is great with cats, dogs, and children. He knows basic commands like sit. He truly loves butt rubs and to cuddle. He does not like to be left alone and will cry. He will need to be groomed regularly to keep his coat nicely taken care of. He is looking for a new forever family to go home to. Will you open your heart to this sweet boy? Jaxon is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, 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
I am 15 lbs, and I am looking for my forever home. Meet King! This adorable white-and-beige Shih Tzu may be small, but he carries himself with sweet, regal charm. Just over a year old, he’s full of playful energy, affection, and gentle manners that make him a joy to be around. King is house- and crate-trained, politely announcing potty time by waiting at the door with a soft cry. He loves walks, car rides, belly rubs, and even bath time. He’s lived happily with adults and young children, is friendly with everyone he meets, and knows “sit” and “give paw.” With only a need for hypoallergenic shampoo for his sensitive skin, this little royal is ready to rule a new home with love and loyalty.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Dixie!  I’m a sweet, gentle girl who came to rescue with my little family after we were found along the highway. I spent my days raising my two puppies and making sure they were safe, and now that they’re growing up, it’s finally my turn to find a forever home of my own. The people here say I have a way of winning hearts the moment you meet me. I’m calm, quiet, and easy to love. I am a lap girl. I want to be by you at all times, and just chill and hangout. I’m not much of a barker, and I get along wonderfully with all the other dogs I’ve met. I still have some things to learn about living inside a home, but I do seem to understand how to use a doggie door already. No one is quite sure yet how I do with kids or cats, but everyone agrees that I have a very gentle, loving demeanor. I’m already spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, 4DX negative, and current on ProHeart 12 and Bravecto, so I’m all ready for my next adventure. I do have a low grade heart murmur. I tested negative for Chagas, and did well under anesthesia. Sometimes heart murmurs can go away, but it's something to be aware of. My adoption fee is $500 please apply at www.adoggie4you.org. Right now I’m in Texas, but I can travel to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and along the East Coast for an additional $250 transport fee. Unfortunately, I can’t travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts because of state regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 11, 2026, 4:10 pm
