🐾 Ralphie is ready for a fresh start 🤍

This sweet 6-year-old boy has been through a lot, but he still has so much love to give. In his previous home, Ralphie was bullied by the other cats, so he’s looking for a peaceful forever home where he can finally feel safe, secure, and loved. Because of his past experience, Ralphie will need to be your one and only pet 🏡💕

Ralphie loves being brushed, belly rubs, playing with his favorite toys, and spending time close to his humans. He may want the house to himself, but he has more than enough love to fill it 🥹

✨ Male | 6 years old
🐱 Good with cats: No
🐶 Good with dogs: No
🏡 Must be the only pet
👧 Older, considerate kids are okay
💗 Loves cuddles, belly rubs & being brushed

Ralphie deserves a home where he can finally relax and be the center of someone’s world. Could that be with you? 🐾🤍

Voted best snuggler in Illinois, say hello to Lucy! 🐾

This 5-year-old, long-haired Chihuahua (13.6 lbs of pure s***k) is a little nervous with new people and places at first, but give her time and a genuine "who's a good girl?" and she melts into the wiggliest, smiliest little goofball you've ever met.

She's basically already raised herself: housebroken, crate trained (door open, please), zero destructive habits, and perfectly happy self-entertaining with her toys while you work. But she'd rather be curled up next to you on the couch. 🛋️💜

Good with other dogs, great with a slow and steady hand, and looking for older or considerate kids only. Lucy just wants someone willing to earn her trust, and once you do, she's yours for life. 🐶

How has a girl this special been waiting this long? 🥺🤍

Willow has been with us for what feels like forever, and we’re really hoping her person finally sees this and realizes she’s the one they’ve been waiting for.

This beautiful gray and silver tabby is friendly, playful, curious, and incredibly affectionate. Willow LOVES a good lap and will happily settle in and stay awhile. She enjoys being picked up and held, gives the sweetest little nose boops, and might even surprise you with a high five. She has the cutest tiny meow, loves treats, toys, string, boxes, window watching, and even a little game of ball. And somehow, she has perfected the art of disappearing and quietly reappearing right beside you, earning herself the nickname “ninja cat 🥹."

Willow has so much love and personality to give. She just needs someone to finally give her the chance she has been waiting so patiently for.

🎂 Age: 3 years old
🎀 Gender: Female
🐱 Good with cats: No, Willow needs to be your one and only cat
👧 Good with children: Yes
🏡 Currently in a foster home

Willow has watched other cats find their families while she continues to wait for hers. We would LOVE nothing more than to finally say, “Willow has been adopted," ❤️

Could you be the person we’ve been waiting to say that about?

An approved A.R.F. application is required before a meet and greet. This helps us learn about your household and make sure Willow is being matched with a home where she can truly thrive.

Some cats want a little attention. Snap Dragon would happily take the pets, the cuddles, AND a permanent spot by your side 🌸🐉🤍

This beautiful dilute calico is as sweet as she is stunning. Snap Dragon absolutely loves pets and affection, and once she chooses you as her person, get ready to have a loyal little cuddle buddy who just wants to be close. She’s the kind of girl who will make herself comfortable beside you and happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give.

When it comes to other cats, Snap Dragon isn’t particularly interested in making feline friends, and that’s perfectly okay. She’d much rather focus her attention on her humans. She would also do best with calm, gentle children ages 5+ who understand how to respectfully love on her.

🎂 Age: 1.5 years old
🎀 Gender: Female
🐱 Good with cats: Doesn’t really care for them
🐶 Good with dogs: Unknown
👧 Good with children: Ages 5+ who are calm and gentle
📍 Currently at PetSmart Naperville

If you’re looking for a beautiful girl who will happily accept your pets, curl up close, and become your loyal little companion, Snap Dragon might be waiting for you 💕 Come fall in love with her!

An approved A.R.F. adoption application is required before a meet and greet. It helps us learn more about your home and make sure it’s the right match for both you and Snap Dragon.

✨Look out!!! This guy is plotting his next moon landing 🔭🌕🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌓🌔🌕

✨🌟Say hi to Apollo✨🌟

Things to know about this cutie:

🌝 His former family fed him Alpo and he did not do well on it - lots of scratching and he broke out. Now that he is with ARF, he happily eats a mix of Royal Canin and Stella and Cheweys and he is doing well ✨

🌝 He LOVES everyone! He’ll make sure you know it by giving you hand kisses and happy tail wags 💗

🌝 He does really well on leash, but could still use a bit of training 🦮

🌝 He loves to run and play all day with his foster’s dog 🐾

🌝Apollo is looking for a home with a fenced in yard and either another dog sibling who would love to run and play with him, or for a home with human parents or siblings who love to go for a long run a couple times a week 🦮🚶🏽‍♀️

🌝 Apollo will be 2 years old Oct 1st ✨

🌝 His previous owners became busy with life, a baby and work. Sadly that left this little guy mostly in his crate without the attention he deserves.

If you can give this little astronaut the life and love he deserves, please fill out an adoption application on the ARF website today!
🌟
Apollo is a 2 year old male Sheltie Papillon mix who weighs in at 15 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $450. ✨
