THIS DOG WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AFTER HIS NEUTER SCHEDULED FOR JULY 17th

Benjamin Franklin (Benny for short) is a 4 month old male Terrier mix who weighs in at 15 pounds.  This pup's adoption fee is $450.  If you are still interested, please read more below.

Hello from your new best friend, Benjamin Franklin!
Let freedom ring for this little guy and celebrate the 4th of July season with a loyal little patriot of your own!
 
Things were not so happy at one time for this sweet terrier mix, as baby Ben and his whole canine family were abandoned and left for the worst. But, luckily for them ARF came to the rescue. 
 
You’ll just need to love and cherish this sweet angel! In return, you will have a faithful pal, cuddly TV buddy, and a precious partner to snuggle with all night long (yes, he likes to sleep in bed with his humans, and boy, is he a dream!)
 
Benny loves belly rubs and even likes to be held like a baby! He is affectionate and playful, working hard on his potty-training and, of course, he is still learning all things puppy! He will be a great addition to any family!

This pup is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and neutered. The new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. 

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!

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!
