Pets of the Week: Friendly Fosters Full of Fun

Every week we bring you pets looking for homes at area rescue groups. This week the pets are from Animal Rescue Foundation – IL (ARF) and the DuPage County Animal Care and Control. 

DuPage County Animal Care and Control

Goose 

Goose is a 7-year-old Puggle that came to the shelter because his owners were moving and couldn’t take him with. Since being at the shelter the staff has noticed that he is destined to be a superstar! He loves to play fetch and will put on a crowd-pleasing show doing it. He is already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He is all set to find a forever home filled with lots of tennis balls. If you want a fun companion and have a strong throwing arm, Goose may be the dog for you! 

Milo

Milo came to DCACC because his owner couldn’t take care of him. Rabbits can be difficult to care for and require a lot of time out of their cage. Due to that, many owners become overwhelmed. Rabbits are the third most surrendered animal in the shelter. The staff and volunteers think Milo is a sweetheart. He is super friendly and very playful. Everyone loves to pet him because his fur is soft like velvet.  Currently Milo is being fostered by All Pet Pantry in Lisle. If you are interested in Milo just HOP on over to All Pet Pantry and meet him today!

Chili

Chili is a spicy little rat Terrier looking for his forever home! He is about 3 years old and housebroken, this sweetie can be timid to start but then warms right up! He's spending his time at Top Dog Retreat in Elmhurst until he finds his forever home! He's neutered and up to date on all vaccinations! 

Chili's adoption fee is $200.  His forever family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing with Chili.  

Mary

Mary is a sweet lilac point Siamese who was rescued from a kill shelter. She was pregnant and very malnourished. In spite of all her foster mom did, she could not carry the babies to term. After a recovery period, she was spayed and brought up to date on her shots. She is such a great cat that her vets call her "Sweet Mary." The only thing that she is missing is a forever home of her own.

She is in a foster home and her adoption donation is $250.
