ARF Supports Operation Mia Operation Mia is a group that has been trying to save the animals at Pet Rescue located Bloomingdale, Illinois. There have been countless complaints filed against the shelter for animal cruelty and neglect. Volunteers and former staff have stepped forward to tell the truth about pets suffering as prisoners.  The Pet Rescue Blog, We Support Operation Mia, updates you on the progress to help these animals and shut this so-called rescue down.  Please consider adding your voice to stop this atrocity, by signing their petition.  Also, be sure to see Fox Chicago's special report posted June 25, 2009, Cruel Animal Shelter Still in Operation. Pets of the Week Brutus When someone says German Shepherd, Brutus is "THE DOG" that will pop in your head.  He is Eager to please and appears to know some hand and voice commands. Brutus is wonderful with children and seems to be fine with cats and other dogs. This dog is all that a Shepherd should be!   For more information about Brutus, please complete our Online Adoption Application. Bubbles BigHe tolerates cats well but he would prefer to be the only dog in the house.  (He is ok with female dogs but isn't all that fond of male dogs.)  But he loves humans of all sizes and ages and will make a great family dog. Right now, he is in foster home with a number of adult cats, a nursing female beagle mom and her 1 month old pups, a neutered male yorkie, a maltese, and 2 female schnauzers and gets along with all well.  Big males scare him and unneutered males make him crazy but we think that is due to bad past experience with aggressive male dog with excess of testosterone.  Very smart and very eager to please!!  For more information about Bubbles, please complete our Online Adoption Application. Zera Zera came to the pound with her puppies. All her pups were rescued and she was left behind. She is very loving, with a high energy level. She is very bright & would benefit greatly from obedience classes. She gets along well with other dogs, but needs a home without cats. Because Zera is 65 pounds of wiggley, affectionate energy, children should be 10 or older. She is up to date on vaccines, spayed, crate trained & housetrained. For more information about Zera, please complete our Online Adoption Application. Herbie Herbie the Lovebug...  Super friendly, super cuddly, super playful. The name says it all. Gets along with everyone and most everything. If you are looking for a great family cat--here he is!!!   For more information about Herbie, please complete our Online Adoption Application. Benny Benny is a fantastic beagle mix; he's shy, but so sweet.  Once he opens up to you, he wants to sit with you and lick you for days.  When he's scared he heads under the bed and while this may put some adopters off, it should not.  His foster parents love him and enjoy working with him to make him much more social.  He's made great progress and now eats with his other friends in the house and goes outside with his friends.  He will go outside and sit under the tree for hours when the weather is nice.  Ben is neutered, up-to-date with his vaccinations, micro-chipped and ready to go home with you.  He likes other dogs and cats, but would do best in a single dog home so he can get all the attention he needs.     Apply today with our Online Adoption Application asap as we expect lots of interest in him.  Benny's adoption  fee is $200.00.  Mr. Green Jeans Mr. Green Jeans and Kanga came from same home and loved playing together.  Mr. GreenJeans is a 35 lb boxer/beagle mix with the most soulful eyes, ever.  Good with people and other dogs, cats unknown as there are no cats in foster home .  He would make a great family dog.
