Meet Benjamin Franklin

THIS DOG WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AFTER HIS NEUTER SCHEDULED FOR JULY 17th

Benjamin Franklin (Benny for short) is a 4 month old male Terrier mix who weighs in at 15 pounds.  This pup's adoption fee is $450.  If you are still interested, please read more below.

Hello from your new best friend, Benjamin Franklin!

Let freedom ring for this little guy and celebrate the 4th of July season with a loyal little patriot of your own!

 

Things were not so happy at one time for this sweet terrier mix, as baby Ben and his whole canine family were abandoned and left for the worst. But, luckily for them ARF came to the rescue. 

 

You’ll just need to love and cherish this sweet angel! In return, you will have a faithful pal, cuddly TV buddy, and a precious partner to snuggle with all night long (yes, he likes to sleep in bed with his humans, and boy, is he a dream!)

 

Benny loves belly rubs and even likes to be held like a baby! He is affectionate and playful, working hard on his potty-training and, of course, he is still learning all things puppy! He will be a great addition to any family!

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!

Apply for Adoption

Benjamin Franklin is still available for adoption but might have other applicants. Learn more about our pet adoption process.

All pets adopted from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation include the following as part of their adoption fee:

  • Spay/neuter or a certificate for a low-cost spay/neuter when medically recommended
  • Microchip and registration, a permanent identification to reunite lost pets with their owners
  • Initial de-worming and flea and tick treatment
  • Age-appropriate testing for heartworm/FIV-FELV
  • Age-appropriate vaccines
  • Pre-adoption medical exam
  • A certificate for a free healthy pet exam at one of A.R.F.’s participating veterinarians within 7 days of adoption
  • Offer for a no-risk 30 day free trial with Trupanion pet medical insurance

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 all of 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 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!
