👑✨ Dame Diana Riggs is ready to retire from motherhood and become YOUR spoiled baby! 💕🐾

Diana was rescued from DuPage Animal Control after being surrendered by her owner following the birth of her 10 babies! She’s officially done with her mama duties and is ready for a chapter where she gets to be someone’s baby! 🥹💗

🎀 Age: 2 years old
🐱 Gender: Female
🐾 Good with cats? Yes, potentially! Slow, proper introductions are a must so she has time to adjust.
🐶 Good with dogs? Curious, but she has never been exposed to dogs, so patient, slow introductions are needed.
👧 Good with kids? Yes! Kids 6+ who are friendly, calm, and respectful would be a great fit 💕

Diana is incredibly sweet, loves being around people, enjoys playtime, and is always curious about what’s happening around her. She’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and litter box trained and ready for a family who will shower her with all the love she deserves 👑🏡💕

She raised TEN babies… now it’s Diana’s turn to be spoiled! 🍼➡️👑🐾

Could you be the family she’s been waiting for? 💗✨

AUGIE - AKA TEDDY is just 1½ years old and 11 pounds, and is a pint-sized bundle of personality! He’s a former ARF pup who was adopted at 6 months old, but his family has realized he needs a home that’s a better fit for his needs.

He’s silly, affectionate, energetic & incredibly playful. He loves cuddling, giving kisses, playing with other kids, dogs and toys, zooming around, and keeping his people entertained with his hilarious, vocal 🎵 play style!

But Teddy needs more than just a loving home. He needs a human who is around most of the time and willing to keep his busy little mind and body occupied. He becomes anxious when left alone (even with other dogs) and can have accidents or be a bit destructive. He can currently handle about 4 hours alone and wears a belly band when left home.

His dream home would include:
✔️A fenced yard
✔️Playful dog(s) would be a bonus
✔️An active person who loves to move
✔️Lots of enrichment, puzzles & activities
✔️Someone home most of the day
✔️A predictable routine

Teddy is primarily potty trained, does well on leash, and LOVES food puzzles, lick mats, treats and anything that keeps him busy.

He may be little, but Teddy has a BIG heart 🩵, BIG personality 💨 and BIG energy!⚡️

He just needs the right person who will understand him, keep up with him, and give him the kind of home where he can truly thrive. Can you keep up? Learn more and apply to adopt him at www.arf-il.org

Gunner’s family lost everything when their home in Northwest Indiana was destroyed by the recent tornadoes. They are now without a home and trying to rebuild their lives—but they desperately want to keep Gunner💔

ARF is looking for an indefinite temporary foster to give this beloved dog a safe, loving home until his family has a home again🏡 This is not an adoption; Gunner will return to his family once they’re settled.

🐕 Male Shepherd/Black Mouth Cur mix
🏠 House trained
👦 Great with kids
❤️ Loving, beloved family dog

Gunner has already lost his home. Please don’t let him lose his family, too💔

If you can open your home to Gunner during this devastating time, please message us or comment here. Please share with anyone who may be able to help!

✨ Sparkle is one of her foster’s favorites! ✨

There’s just something about this little girl that makes her so easy to love 🖤🤎 Sparkle is a petite black and brown beauty with a big personality! She’s outgoing, curious, playful, and always interested in what’s going on around her.

She absolutely loves playtime with us, but one of the things I love most about her is that she’s also perfectly happy entertaining herself. Give her some spring toys or her trackball toy and she’s in her happy place! 🐾 After a good play session, she’ll climb up onto the cat tree and settle in for a cozy nap. 😴

Sparkle is wonderful with children of all ages. My granddaughter and Sparkle will chase each other around and play together, and it is honestly the cutest thing ever! 🥹💕 She’s also good with my small, respectful dog.

She’s now out and about with all of my cats and doing really well. Of course, there are some hisses and growls when someone gets a little too close or invades another cat’s personal space because, well, cats are cats! 😂 But there has been no serious fighting, and Sparkle has been doing great adjusting to the busy household.

And I have to be honest, Sparkle is one of her foster’s favorite fosters. ❤️ She has such a fun, sweet personality and has really stolen her foster’s heart. If she didn’t already have a bunch of cats, she would definitely be tempted to keep this little girl herself! 😂

Sparkle is such a special girl. She’s playful, independent, social, affectionate, and full of personality. She’s ready to find a forever family who will love her just as much as her foster does 🏡💕

Could Sparkle be your girl? ✨🐾

You're Welcome for This Face 🌺

He may not be a demigod who can shapeshift or lasso the sun, but this Maui's got some serious love to give. 💜

At 1.5 years old, this 14-lb Pekingese was surrendered through no fault of his own, and he's ready to chart a course to a home where he's the only voyager on board (he gets a little pushy with other dogs). He's great with kids and a total cuddle enthusiast.

No ocean required, just a home, a leash, and someone willing to worship the ground he demigod-walks on.

📅 MAUI IS AVAILABLE AFTER HIS NEUTER ON SEPTEMBER 3rd
