Meet Scrappy

Hi, I’m Scrappy! I’m only 10 pounds and 12 weeks old, but I am super advanced for such a young, little puppy! I come when I’m called and am doing super well with my potty-training. I also enjoy playing with doggie toys and am learning to chase balls—check out my video - copy and paste the link below into your browser!  https://youtube.com/shorts/SjWYk868I-A?feature=share  I love hanging out with the dogs in my foster’s fenced yard, and I enjoy a good belly rub and cuddling on the couch with my foster family. My brown-speckled coat is so incredibly soft, my foster mom even calls me a little bunny! Another plus is that I do not bark much, and that is typical of Cattle Dogs/Heelers, which are also known to be smart and affectionate. Boy, I sure do fit the bill, and I’ve been told that any family lucky enough to adopt me will have won the jackpot!  Scrappy will make a great companion for anyone looking for a loyal and affectionate best friend. Doggie siblings would be a bonus! He would probably even like cats, although he has not met one yet.  This pup is micro-chipped and up to date on all vaccinations, and neutered.  The new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.  The pup's adoption fee is $425.  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! 

Adoption Process
Read more about our adoption process on our website at: https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/ Adoption fees depend on the animal. Please see the pet’s biography for information on their adoption fee. Below is an overview of what you can expect during the pet adoption process: Step 1: Submit an online adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ Step 2: Our volunteers will review your application and reach out with a status. This step can take up to five business days. Step 3: If your application is approved you will be invited to meet with the cat or dog you are interested in at a mutually agreed upon time and location. Step 4: We’ll walk you through the benefits of adopting through A.R.F., then complete the adoption paperwork and collect the adoption fee. Then your new best friend is yours! Step 5: Complete required follow-ups such as obedience training or spay/neuter (if delayed due to medical reasons).
