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/  

What can we say about Calhoun that his photos don’t say for you? He is under 4 pounds and should end up at 10# or under, though no guarantees of that. *He is loving and affectionate—he wants to be near you, cuddled next to you as much as possible. *He is a young one—he will intersperse his cuddle time with ample time for his zoomies. His foster mom has another foster puppy for him to burn off energy leaving him to be the love that he is. Even though he is tiny, his future family needs a plan to help him grow and thrive without being destructive because he is board. *He is a Drama Queen—if he is picked up startling him—he will scream as if he is being beaten. Once he realizes that it was you picking him up, he relaxes into your arms as if to say, “I knew it was you.” *He is wriggly. If his new home has children, we would want them to be 6 yrs or older. He is easy to wriggle out of your hands which is why young children wouldn’t be recommended. He is tiny and an unforeseen drop could cause significant injuries. *He loves to walk underfoot. You really need to have good spatial awareness or it is easy to kick him as you stride forward. You also have to have a decent center of gravity so that his being underfoot doesn’t cause you to fall. Calhoun is a happy, confidant, flamboyant little puppy. He is smart and wants to please you. Everyone will love him—we all love him!. We just have to make sure that we get him into the right home. Adoption fee $995.00

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!
