should apply through our adoption application on our website at .arf-il/adopt/application/ Cuddles is an 8 week old male Doodle/Lab mix who weighs in at 14 pounds. This pup's adoption fee is $500. If you are still interested, please read more below. Hi, I'm Cuddles, it is nice to meet you. I have a wavy black coat that does shed and webbing between my toes. My foster Grandma says I love to eat all my food that I am given and I appreciate a good snack any time of day. Grandma can give me and my foster Sister Ginger a snack while sitting down next to each other. Ginger also taught me how to use a dog treat puzzle where I find treats inside. Grandma says I sure learn so much from watching Ginger. ( Ginger is a large chocolate lab) Grandma says I will grow up Large like Ginger. I love going out on the deck to watch birds and squirrels and love to sit right next to Ginger. I am lucky that Grandma is retired and she leaves us out often during the day. When the house needs to be cleaned or laundry needs doing I am happy to go in my crate and avoid getting in the way. I like when Grandma sits down in the evening so I can cuddle up with her. I sleep in my crate all night until Ginger wakes me up early in the AM . I need to go potty whenever I come out of my crate. The one thing Grandma says about me is that I am a private pooper. She says outside that's ok, but you will need to keep extra doors closed in the house so I don't go and hide poop for you to find later. The vet said I have a heart murmur that I will hopefully outgrow, but my new doctor should keep an eye on it. If you're looking for a fun loving, cuddly dog I would love to meet you. PS. Winston the Cat lives with us and I have learned cats have sharp nails! Remember that I am a puppy and play hard at times and that includes nipping when I am playing. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting small children yet so I'm not sure if I can get along with them - I may be a bit much for some littles. 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.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
