My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Please contact MFit for more information about this pet.

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  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/  



Edgar is a 1.5 year old male Shepherd/Black Mouth Cur mix who weighs in at 55 pounds.  This dog's adoption fee is $450.  If you are still interested, please read more below.

Edgar (Eddie) is a big, friendly, goofball of a dog who has never met a stranger. Hailing from Texas, this handsome and healthy boy has a puppy-like energy but without the "accidents" or destruction of personal property. He is eager to learn and as sweet as they come; there is not a mean bone in this boy's body. He has befriended the resident dog and cats and multiple neighbors. While he doesn't look much like a lab, Eddie is a first-class retriever, running for a ball or Frisbee and dropping it right at your feet -- no wrestling this guy to get the ball back!  Eddie might do best in a house with a fenced yard and perhaps another dog, but as long as he gets a couple good walks and some snuggle time each day, he's a happy camper. He gets up early, but passes out around 8:30 and sleeps through the night with no issues. 
 
If you are interested in getting to know this friendly boy, fill out an application today!

Edgar 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 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!
