Meet Winston
Winston is a 4 month old male Lab mix who weighs in at 22 pounds. This pup's adoption fee is $450. If you are still interested, please read more below.
Meet Winston, the resilient 4-month-old black Lab mix who is truly a miracle puppy. Thanks to ARF fighting for this baby when he was diagnosed with Parvo. After a week-long hospital stay, Winston's spirit remains unbroken, and he's now absolutely thriving in his foster home. He's a cuddle enthusiast who adores snuggling up with his foster humans and loves playing with and sleeping near his foster fur siblings. Although Winston has found a lot of comfort in his siblings throughout a very stressful start to his life, he now sees the value in his human family members and follows them around like a little shadow.
This delightful pup is not only charming but also incredibly well-behaved. He's mastered the art of crate training, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is just a whisker away from conquering potty training entirely. He loves to chew on toys, run circles around his foster siblings, and nap on someone’s lap before starting all over again. Winston's playful energy is balanced by his laid-back demeanor, making him the perfect companion for playtime and relaxation.
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 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 on time (or 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!
