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/  

Palomo is looking for a loving home that will allow him to comfortably live out the rest of time he has left on this earth.  For his beloved human, Palomo is a sweet adorable loving senior Westie who is approximately 14 years old. He loves to snuggle and give kisses.  The catch - you do need to invest time to get to know him, and give him time to feel comfortable around you.  He is hard of hearing and is blind in his left eye and partially blind in his right eye. But don’t let the blindness fool you! He can and will find you anywhere in the house.  Palomo is looking for a female only home, with the number of visitors/new people kept to a minimum.  What can we say - he's a ladies man who doesn't like meeting new people!  He also would prefer to be the only dog in the home - given his age, playing is just not his thing anymore.  His legs are pretty short as Westie‘s legs are, so his foster does carry him a lot to speed up the going outside duties. He likes to be carried.  Given his advanced age, he doesn’t run, but has no health issues with walking.  He can go up the 2 deck stairs with no problem.  Chicken is his favorite, absolutely goes crazy when he smells it. He takes treats and chicken very gently.

The right adopter will be willing to come visit with Palomo multiple times, and would be ok with a trial period in the adopter's home prior to adoption.  If you give Palomo the time to get to know you, he will reward you with his trust and love.  

Palomo is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and neutered. 

Palomo's adoption fee is $175.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting Palomo 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!
