Description:
Please contact LG 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/ Bella is a 5 year old female Terrier mix who weighs in at approximately 48 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $400. If you are still interested, please read more below. Have a soft spot for the underdog? This sweet and petite girl may be your soulmate. Bella was rescued by animal control in southern Illinois and spent months in the shelter. A staff favorite, this gentle girl they called Babybelle has walked many tough miles in her 5 years. She has had at least one litter of pups and some skin allergies and has been treated for heartworm as of March 19th. All of this is common to dogs who have spent significant time outdoors. She will need to keep her heart rate down for 30 days after her Heartworm shots and take some meds, and then she will be just fine, with no lasting negative health effects. Despite these challenges, Bella is super friendly with everyone she meets, wagging furiously and coming up immediately for pets. She is a champion snuggler who prefers to have her head on her humans whenever possible. She walks well on a leash and sleeps until you wake her in the morning. She loves, loves, loves a car ride! Bella gets along well with the two cats at her foster home, napping with them and sharing her food without complaint when they steal it. She would prefer to be the only dog in the house. If this sweet face is calling to you, please fill out an application and make an appointment to meet beautiful Bella. Bella is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and spayed. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing. A meeting will not be scheduled until you have an approved application, so if you are 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. Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation!

If you are interested in adopting one of our pets, please submit an adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ Adoption appointments are scheduled based on the order of applications received, so submit your application early! 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 or schedule meetings until your application has been approved. More information about our adoption process can be found on our website here: https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/ As an all-volunteer, foster home-based organization, A.R.F. Animal Rescue Foundation does not have a facility where applicants can visit our animals. Please visit https://www.arf-il.org/events/ for a list of our upcoming adoption events. Thank you for choosing to adopt, not shop!
