You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact LMo for more information about this pet.Thanks for your interest in a pet from A.R.F.! If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at  https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/   Meet Ripley, a sweet, spayed, American Bulldog female, who will be six years old this November. She loves to play fetch in the yard, go for walks, and play with other dogs at her two favorite day care facilities, Bark Avenue in Bartlett and DePaw Pet Resort in Geneva. Despite her outgoing personality with other canines, she prefers to live in a home where she is the only pet, and that is why she finds herself in search of a new home. She has spent the majority of her life living with humans of all ages, including young children, and loves to cuddle. One of her all time favorite hobbies is eating, as evidenced by her healthy weight of 88 pounds! She requires prescription dog food (Royal Canin Ultamino) and a couple of daily over the counter medications (Omeprazole and a probiotic) due to a vitamin B12 deficiency that is well managed with subcutaneous VitB12 injections every other week. It is quick and easy and done in the convenience of your home. She looks forward to her medication every morning because she takes it with a hefty dose of peanut butter! Two months worth of food, medications and an entire bottle of VitB12 (that lasts a whole year) is included with her adoption. Ripley is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken and spayed . The new family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. The adoption fee for this pet is $250.  A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you're interested in adopting this dog fill out an Online Application today! Once your application has been approved, an ARF volunteer will contact you to arrange a meeting.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.   Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation!

Story
Grey Goose was accepted into the rescue as a stray from local law enforcement and guessed to be a Bulldog/Micro Bully mix.  This darling girlie is as sweet as she looks!   She is approximately 2 years old and a petite size at 35lbs. She is good with other dogs, is friendly, likes to snuggle and take slow walks! House and crate training are in progress and she is a little 'head shy' and does not like 'raised' voices. We recommend obedience training for all pups and dogs!   **Breed or size (once fully grown) is a 'best guess' and is not guaranteed since they arrived without either parent.  Magnificent Mutts is an all foster home based rescue and meets are held by appointment with the entire family in attendance. Please ensure your current pets are up to date with vetting, have landlord/HOA approval and are prepared to take your new family member home at the adoption appointment. Thank you for your interest!      If you are interested in adoption, please complete the "Application to Adopt" which can be accessed from this link: (     www.magnificentmutts.org    )  No phone calls please, emails only. Dogs/Puppies adoption donations range from $300-$400 (cash only).  Prices are subject to change, please contact for specific adoption donation. Please visit www.magnificentmutts.org for the online dog application. August 17, 2024, 11:32 pm

Nelsa is a sweet girl who is 2 years old and loves attention, love and walks. She is very strong and interacts well with my 6 children. She doesn’t jump on them or get hyper. Our family has a new baby and it is very hard for us to attend to Nelsa’s needs. We have an older dog Emma who is a bichon mix. Nelsa and Emma do play together and chase each other. I am seeking a loving family to adopt her and give her the love and attention she needs.

Story
Meet Smush, the big-hearted bulldog mix with a personality as hefty as his size! This gentle giant is known for his larger-than-life presence and charming quirks. Smush's enthusiasm sometimes gets the better of him, and he can be a bit mouthy when he's overexcited, but it's all part of his endearing nature. He's not one for long walks; instead, he prefers the comfort of being by his owner's side or bustling around the house, playing with his beloved squishy toys. While Smush adores his human companions, he isn't the biggest fan of other animals. He thrives best as the only pet in the household, where he can soak up all the attention and affection. Currently, Smush is on a diet to shed a few pounds and improve his health. He would thrive in a home that can support his weight loss journey with regular activity and a balanced diet. With his lovable personality and steadfast loyalty, Smush is sure to bring warmth and joy to any home. Whether he's snuggled up on the couch or happily playing indoors, Smush's big heart and gentle spirit make him a cherished member of the family. Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. I hope to meet you soon! Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Story
Pax came to us from a multiple-dog family, so he is good with other dogs. He's also great with the children in his foster home. He's looking for a forever home . . . how about yours? He is food motivated and an enthusiastic student when training. He rides comfortably in a car, is house trained, crate trained and leash trained. He has been surrounded by a loving foster family but his public exposure has been limited. Obedience classes would be great once he's comfortable in a new environment. They would reinforce the training he's had, and would widen his world, showing him unknown humans are a source of positive attention and rewards.

Story
Meet Ford, a remarkable Bulldog whose presence is as powerful and steadfast as a mighty river. Just like the characteristics of his breed, Ford embodies kindness and courage, showcasing a unique blend of friendliness and dignity. Now you may not see it by looking into his gorgeous brown eyes, but Ford has suffered in his short life.... he came to the rescue from the streets with a HORRIFIC hernia on his back end, near his rectum. He required two surgeries to correct the hernia and allow him to have a normal life again. He came through with SHINING colors ;) With his well-muscled frame and low-slung stature, Ford is the epitome of a true bruiser, but it's his iconic "sourmug" face that represents his unwavering courage and tenacity. Despite his robust appearance, Ford is a docile and loyal companion, adapting seamlessly to any environment, be it the bustling city or the serene countryside. With Ford by your side, you'll experience the unwavering devotion and unmistakable presence of a Bulldog, a breed that leaves an indelible mark on your heart. Don't miss the opportunity to welcome this incredible Bulldog into your life, as Ford's unique spirit will bring joy, love, and an unmistakable charm that only he can deliver. Some basic information about Ford; he is male, a Bulldog mix, and is medium-sized (20-59lbs). Ford is not great with other dogs (or cats or other critters) and would be best in a home with either only adults or older children and as a single dog. But his heart will fill your home with all the love you need!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

These pups are in Wheaton, Illinois too!
