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/  

Nelda (aka Nellie) is a gem of a dog. She has raised a litter of pups and been a fantastic attentive mother. She is estimated to be between one and two years old and weighs just under 20 pounds. Nellie is a super sweet and affectionate dog that just wants to sit close to you while you watch TV. She will sneak kisses here and there and doesn’t understand personal space. Nellie does know how to sit for a treat but will benefit from training as she does not like to walk on a leash. She loves to explore the back yard and is super fast when she wants to be. She can be a little standoffish when meeting new people but warms up quickly. Nelda with regular opportunities to go outside is house trained. 

Nelda is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken and spayed.  Her new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.

Nelda's adoption fee is $350.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting Nelda fill out an Online Application today!

Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.

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!
