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!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.   Thank you for considering a rescue pet from A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation!
