Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact CG 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/ Tony is a gorgeous little 6 month old male Maltipoo who weighs in at 5 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $1050. If you are still interested, please read more below. Tony here: I am an incredibly sweet little boy. I absolutely adore attention and can not wait to be picked up and snuggled. I am learning I get more attention if I sit quietly on my bed when I want to be picked up instead of barking. I do bark to let you know I should be the center of your world and want to be your BFF! And, when you see how cute I am, you will see why. I LOVE to be held, carried and told how cute I am. I will sit with you when you watch TV, eat your meals, or hang out with you and your friends for hours. I actually like snuggles and hugs more than I like toys sometimes. Even though I am labeled as a Maltipoo, the vet thinks I am mostly a regal Maltese. I am a solid white puppy with a cute little curly tail. I am very curious and very brave. Well, I try to be brave. I am a little shy at first but once I see that you like to snuggle just as much as I do. I love ANYONE who holds me. I do get the zoomies at times during the day, right when I wake up, and right before bed time. It is absolutely adorable to watch and I can run back and forth to get my daily steps in. I have met big dogs and little dogs and have no fear of them. I think they should all be my BFF’s, but I need to learn that not all dogs like adorable cute puppies like me. I do my little ‘look at me, I’m so cute' dance in front of everyone. I am an incredibly fast learner and my foster mom thinks I will be able to learn a ton of tricks. I was surrendered to ARF from Missouri from a breeder who is shutting down. I have been bathed and brushed and didn’t mind it at all because I do like to look my best. I am really working on potty training and can hold it all night, like for 8 hours. I just need to go right away when I wake up. I don’t mind my harness and leash, but have not yet learned to walk straight when wearing one. I also ABSOLUTELY LOVE grass and do this cute little army crawl when I get to be in it. It makes my foster mom laugh. At first I was afraid of sidewalks and walkways, but now they don’t bother me at all. I have even mastered carpeted stairs. I am microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and even neutered. As much as I think I am the boss of the world, I will definitely need some obedience training classes to make me even smarter than I think I already am. I am still a little nervous when I am alone so I will need some patience with helping me settle into my new forever home. I really like to be able to see my BFF to know that I am safe.
