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/  

This pup is an 8 week old Dachshund mix who weighs in at 5.5 pounds.  Here is what this pup has to say:

Hello, folks! I'm Waffle, a bundle of energy and enthusiasm just waiting to bring a whirlwind of fun into your life. My journey began in a challenging hoarding situation in Alabama, but now I'm ready to be the dynamic addition to your family that you've been looking for.

At 8 weeks old, I'm still nursing with the loving support of my nurturing mother. I've been trained to use a puppy pad, and I'm pretty good about doing my business outside too. Crate training? Yep, I've had some of that too, so I know how to be well-behaved and feel secure in my own space. Leash training is still a work in progress, but I'm eager to learn and explore the world with you once I'm ready.

Now, let's talk about my energy level. I'm a high-energy pup, and I absolutely love to run and play. A fenced-in yard would be a dream come true for me because it's the perfect place for me to burn off some of this boundless energy. I thrive on activity and stimulation, so if you're looking for a buddy to keep up with your active lifestyle, I'm your guy!

I'm also a social butterfly. I'd be happiest in a home with another young, active dog who can match my energy and zest for life. I love having a playmate to romp around with, and it keeps me happy and content. If I don't get enough stimulation and exercise, I can get a little creative in finding ways to entertain myself, so it's important to keep me active and engaged.

So, if you're ready for a fun-loving, high-energy companion who's always up for an adventure, I'm Waffle, and I can't wait to be the active, spirited member of your family. Let's create unforgettable memories together!

This pup is micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccinations, and neutered. The new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.  The pup's adoption fee is $475. Please note ARF does not approve applications for any puppy under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting this pup fill out an online application today!  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/  Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.  ARF is an all volunteer organization.  Due to a high volume of applications, we are often unable to respond to questions until your application has been approved.  Thank you for your patience!
