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/  

Yogi is a 9-10 week old Shiba Inu puppy. He is just over 4lbs right now, he is ridiculously adorable and amazingly sweet! He came to us from a puppy mill in Missouri where the owner had very limited time to vacate property after it was sold. People who knew him called in rescue groups because he would have shot all of the remaining dogs and puppies that he had. Yogi immediately fit in with his foster family, playing with the other dogs and puppies as well as the children. Everyone who meets him immediately falls in love with him.

Yogi's first vet visit revealed a heart murmur and ARF sent him for a follow up ultrasound. It revealed this little guy has 2 heart defects, Pulmonary Stenosis and another hole type defect on the opposite side. The doctors were grateful for the 2nd defect because it is relieving pressure that normally happens with the stenosis, this guy truly is one lucky boy! The vets are optimistic about his condition and think he should have a reasonably long life if he continues to be as healthy as he is now. He does not require any medication at this time but his exercise and weight will have to be kept to a minimum. At 1 year of age another follow up ultrasound needs to be done to see changes, if any.

Yogi is micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccinations. His new family will be required to enroll him in a basic obedience course of their choosing. Yogi's adoption fee is $400. Fill out an application online today! http://arf-il.org/application.html

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!
