POLO - CHIHUAHUA (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Adoption Fee: 400. 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 .arf-il/adopt/application/ Polo is an approximately 8 year old male Chihuahua who weighs in at 10 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $400. If you are still interested, please read more below. Polo is a good little dog even though he may have been mistreated when he was younger. He may perceive your feet as a threat if he is allowed to sleep in bed with you. If you value the condition of your feet, he is perfectly happy sleeping in a soft cushy bed on the floor next to the bed rather than with you. Otherwise, he may reactively bite at your feet/legs thinking you are kicking him when you roll over with him at the end of the bed. Also, not atypical of a chihuahua-he would prefer to be the only other heartbeat in the house. Although he gets along with other dogs, he will resource guard and protect “his” person. Given this, ARF requests no young children. He is fine with company visiting but he is happy when they go home so he has the time and space to cuddle with his human while they read or watch tv. And if it isn’t too much to ask, can a dog get a recliner to share with his human while they watch tv? Polo says it isn’t a deal breaker but winter is coming and a blanket, a recliner, and his human—that is perfection in his eyes! Polo is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken, and neutered. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are interested in adopting this dog, fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting. 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 .arf-il/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: .arf-il/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 .arf-il/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events. Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop!
