Meet Polo
Polo is an 8 week old male Bernese/Border Collie mix who weighs in at 10 pounds. This pup's adoption fee is $550. If you are still interested, please read more below.
Polo is such a sweet, smart, playful and rambunctious little pup!! He’s an adventurous little guy with no fear!! He’s good with other dogs, loves to play and wrestle all day with other pups or has fun with toys. Has not had exposure to cats or children yet but given his young age, he should be fine. Polo is working on his potty training and has done a great job with waiting to go outside on grass. He’s learning really quickly with his crate training and sleeps so peacefully throughout the night. When the lights are off and he’s in the crate, he knows! He’s a playful little baby that loves cuddles and a fun time horsing around. If you’re considering some love, excitement and joy in your life, please consider Polo 🙂
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!
