If an animal is on our website, it is still available but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, it is in your best interest to submit an application immediately. Submitting an application does not commit you to any animal, but does get you a head start with the adoption approval process. We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application. As an all-volunteer, foster home based organization, ARF does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we must give priority to pre-approved applicants. This pup is 8 weeks old as of 9/15/18. Hi! My name is Albus. I am an 8 week old male Lab mix puppy. I recently weighed in at 9.8 pounds. I came to ARF on 8-21-18 with my 9 siblings (all the other “A” puppies) and my mom, Cola. Mom was a little under weight at about 45 pounds when she last went to the vet. No one has met dad. Therefore, I can’t 100% confirm how big I’ll be as an adult, but if I had to guess, I think I will probably be on the larger side. I have been checked by the vet who gave me a clean bill of health, I’m up to date on all my shots, and I have been microchipped!! I am very playful and enjoy playing with my siblings or toys. My favorite is tug-o-war!! I also enjoy getting attention, being pet, and sitting in someone’s lap. I am only a puppy, so I still need some polishing!!! I’ve been working on paper training and will go potty outside, but I still need to be housebroken. I will also need some basic puppy training. I learned a lot from my mom, siblings, and foster family.......but there was 10 of us and I will definitely benefit from a little individual training!!!! This pup is micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccinations. The new family will be required to have the pup altered by 6 months of age and complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. The pup's adoption fee is $300. Please note ARF does not approve applications for any animal that has not been altered 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! arf-il/application.html 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! If you’re invited to meet an animal, please plan to arrive on time or early, as we cannot hold animals. All household members must be present at time of adoption, including dogs. We appreciate your cooperation!
