Story
Meet Coco, a 4 year old mixed breed dog who has found himself to us through no fault of his own. Coco is looking for a new forever home that will love him through thick and thin. Coco is a joy of a dog, once you get to know him! He can be shy and scared at first but once he meets you (and with a little help from special treats... like people snacks) he will be your best friend in no time. Coco can be strong willed and needs an owner who will make sure they set boundaries right away. He can be quite demanding, especially when it comes to that gold we call people food, as well as his favorite people. He can be a bit resource possessive of these things. The good news is, he is easily corrected by removing him from the situation or the command "no". Due to these things though, we recommend a house with no children. So far, he seems to be ok with other animals and is housebroken. He also is fine with being crated. Coco knows lots of commands and is a quick learner due to his food motivation and attentiveness. He knows "sit", "down", "paw" and "other paw", as well as "touch", and "speak". His adoption fee is $150 and he is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative. Please call 630-553-9256 or email animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov for more information.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact MSc 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/   POPTART WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AFTER HE IS NEUTERED ON FEBRUARY 18TH PopTart is a 5 month old male Morkie who weighs in at 5 pounds.  This pup's adoption fee is $850.  If you are still interested, please read more below. PopTart has an extreme over abundance of cuteness, loves to cuddle, and is a very playful puppy who is hilariously inquisitive.  He is a loving and affectionate boy who’s ready to find his forever home!  He loves playing with his toys and enjoys exploring the outdoors (he loves to run around his foster mom’s backyard). He’s making great progress with walking on the leash and likes going for car rides.    He is pee pad trained and is working on potty training. He can tend to bark a lot such as at other people in the house, at images on the TV, or even at his reflection on the kitchen oven.    He gets along with other dogs but can be a bit of an instigator. However, whenever he has a play date, he loves to run around with other dogs and just be silly. He’s very attached to his foster mom who works at a desk job from home. He sits and sleeps on her lap throughout the workday.    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.  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!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.   Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation!
