Description:
Please contact DRa 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/ Murphy is a 3 month old male Teddy Bear who weighs in at 9 pounds. This pup's adoption fee is $850. If you are still interested, please read more below. I’m Murphy and I am so precious, if I do say so myself. I am pure joy and sweetness all wrapped in this handsome fuzzball! I’m around 6 other dogs right now and love playing with them all. Although, the 13 year olds probably see me as more of an annoyance. I was wary of stairs for a while but zip up and down now with the rest. I don't want to be left behind! I get into mischief just like any other puppy. I love being held and I love being in your lap. I would love to have at least one other playmate. The more the merrier! 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! Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation! We are based in Wheaton, IL and conduct adoption events in the DuPage County area.
