Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Our online adoption application can be found on our website at  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ Great things come in small packages! Gabby is a sweet senior (12+ year old) Rat Terrier with a whole bunch of get-up-and-go! She is very affectionate and lives for nothing more than a scratch to her haunches and to sleep under the covers next to you at night. She has lived with other dogs and cats, but it is her heart’s desire to get some love and attention from her forever person. Her mother was a longtime A.R.F. foster and volunteer. Gabby will bark when people come to the door, and if they come inside, she will continue to “greet” them until they pet her! And although she has arthritis, she is still very active and spry—just take a look at her video! Nothing stops her from getting onto the laps of her preferred people. She loves to run in the yard, play fetch, and “kill” her stuffed toys. Gabby is an all-around wonderful dog for any family. If you are looking for a friendly, fun addition to your household, please consider Gabby. She is a lot of “bang for the buck!” Gabby is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken and spayed. Her new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. Gabby's adoption fee is $150. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting Gabby fill out an online application today! https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ Once your application has been approved, an A.R.F. volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.   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!

Story
Meet our little beauty, Susie, affectionately known as Susie Q! This little lady was surrendered to Chicago Animal Care and Control for having too much energy. We know that she lived with two children and two adults and did well. She also had two dog siblings as well. Right off the bat, we could see Susie's energy. She is full of spirit and working drive and energy. She likes to please her handler and bonds quickly with her people. She is so intelligent and learns incredibly quickly. Susie is currently working on foundational obedience, trick, and sport dog training at Found Training Center, where she has dabbled in agility and disc (frisbee). She was a complete natural and took to catching discs like she had done it all her life. Susie lives to fetch, she will literally play with any toy you choose, she just wants to play. She is a little worker bee and enjoys being one with her handler. Susie can be over excited with other animals. She is high drive and typical of a working-type terrier. She is learning to acclimate to other dogs and has been able to exist around other dogs calmly with something else to focus on like the work she so enjoys. She is phenomenal at taking direction, so if she knows what you want, she is willing to do it. We are confident that with patience, Susie can continue adding new dogs to her group of dog "friends." Susie would thrive with an active family that understands and appreciates terrier work ethic. She would excel in dog sports like agility, disc, or dock diving. She has high toy and food drive and will work for almost any motivator of your choosing. She is such a spunky, sweet little girl and we have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her. Her adoption fee comes with FREE training at Found Training Center for her new family. Please contact brittney@caninesandcompany.org for more info on our Susie!

Story
Meet Scout! Scout is a sweet and chock full of cuddles Jack Russell Terrier mix boy who is around 1.5 year old and weighs only about 12 lbs. Scout loves to play with his toys and is great with all of the humans in the home. He isn't too sure about the cat but doesn't relentlessly chase her either. He would probably be happy to have a fur playmate but would like a polite introduction first to make sure he is compatible. He is paper trained and will be easy to housebreak once it is warmer outside. He LOVES baths! Scout would make a wonderful companion for any family.  The adoption fee of $300 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. Although we do the best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can make no guarantee. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! If you are interested in adopting/meeting , please visit our website at www.starfishanimalrescue.com or you may complete the online adoption application on our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/starfishanimalrescue/app/134425496630143/?ref=page_internal Once you complete and submit your dog adoption application we will set up an appointment to meet this pup! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
