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/   River is a 6 month old female Airedale Terrier mix who weighs in at 20 pounds.  This pup's adoption fee is $500.  If you are still interested, please read more below. River has a gentle, loving personality and can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly with patience and kindness. She gets along well with children and other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for a variety of households. Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown. River is doing great with her training. She is almost fully potty trained, sleeps soundly in her crate throughout the night, and already knows basic commands such as sit and down. As a young puppy, she is eager to learn and will continue to thrive with positive reinforcement and consistency. When she's not practicing her manners, River enjoys playing tug-of-war and spending time with her people. She has the perfect balance of sweetness, playful energy, and cuddly charm. If you're looking for a loyal companion to grow up alongside your family, River may be the perfect match for you! Could River be the missing piece in your family? This pup is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and spayed. 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.  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!  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/  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!    Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation!
