Meet Milo

Milo is an 8 week old male Lab/Doodle mix who weighs in at 8 pounds.  This pup's adoption fee is $500.  If you are still interested, please read more below.

Meet Milo, an adorable lab/doodle mix born December 17, 2025, who is the perfect blend of sweet, cuddly, and incredibly smart. He has been a star pupil in his foster home, where he lives with an older foster sister and has already mastered many canine social cues. Milo is a crate-training natural who settles down within five minutes and sleeps through the night, only waking for his scheduled puppy potty breaks. While he is still a young guy working on his house-training, his intelligence shines through in his training sessions; he has already learned "sit," "down," and "leave it," and has even started "offering" a sit whenever he thinks a treat might be coming his way.

Milo is a social butterfly who has been wonderful with every human he’s met. He strikes a great balance between play and relaxation; he’ll happily engage in a spirited game of tug-of-war but is also happy to settle down with his toys independently. Of course, he is still a "crazy" puppy at heart, so he definitely needs supervision during his solo play to keep him out of trouble! Whether he’s showing off his growing skills or curling up for a nap, Milo is a joyful, affectionate companion who is eager to learn. He is scheduled for his neuter on Monday, February 23, and will be ready to head to his forever home shortly after.

This pup is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, and will be 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! 

More Info About Milo

Milo is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. Learn more about our pet adoption process.

All pets adopted from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation include the following as part of their adoption fee:

  • Spay/neuter or a certificate for a low-cost spay/neuter when medically recommended
  • Microchip and registration, a permanent identification to reunite lost pets with their owners
  • Initial de-worming and flea and tick treatment
  • Age-appropriate testing for heartworm/FIV-FELV
  • Age-appropriate vaccines
  • Pre-adoption medical exam
  • A certificate for a free healthy pet exam at one of A.R.F.’s participating veterinarians within 7 days of adoption
  • Offer for a no-risk 30 day free trial with Trupanion pet medical insurance

If a cat or dog is on our website, it is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. If you find yourself interested in one of our animals, submit a no-commitment application immediately. 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 until your application has been approved in approximately 3-5 business days.

We do not schedule meetings until you have an approved application.

A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit all of our animals.  The majority of our dogs and cats are brought to adoption events by our volunteers. We invite everyone to come to our events, but we give priority to pre-approved applicants.

If you’re invited to meet an animal:

  • Plan to arrive early, as we cannot hold animals for any reason.
  • All human household members and dogs (if adopting another dog), must be present in order to be considered as a potential adopter.

Thank you for your interest and cooperation!
