My name is Monica Gellar!

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/  

Monica Gellar is a 5 month old female Shorkie who weighs in at 9.4 pounds.  This pup's adoption fee is $850.  If you are still interested, please read more below.

Monica is a very curious and silly girl who wants to see what you are doing. She loves to play with toys and smell smells in the backyard. Monica is very playful, but she loves to relax with a good bone. She will try to figure out what is on the TV and stop and “watch” it for a short time. She loves to play with enrichment puzzles as well to get to her food or treats. She is learning how to navigate stairs and doors and building her confidence with these new experiences.  She will do best with a patient human who is willing to work with her on these things.  Monica is learning about potty training when taken outside. She is good with other dogs and will play with or be calm with them too.  Monica would love a fenced in yard where she has room to run and explore. She sleeps in the crate both at night and for “naps” during the day. Monica would be a great companion for anyone who wants a silly girl who also loves to be where you are and learn new things.  

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! 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!
