Meet Alfie
Alfie is a 3 month old male Mauzer who weighs in at 6 pounds. This pup's adoption fee is $850. If you are still interested, please read more below.
Meet Alfie (short for Alfalfa because of his crazy hair)! He is a bundle of energy but also loves to snuggle more than anything. He has had no troubles interacting with other dogs. He loves people but is a little shy at first. He is great on walks but still doesn’t know that’s when you go to the bathroom. However, he has been VERY good at using pee pads. He loves mini tennis balls, golf balls, and regular tennis balls - basically he just loves to play fetch! He is the absolute sweetest boy who would do best in a home with someone who can be home with him more often than not.
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!

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!
