Pet Wise: ARF Adoption Stars

Gaston and Polarbear are looking for a home.

Gaston is truly a gentle giant. This dog a snuggly and sweet boy who will thrive in a home where he can receive a moderate amount of physical exercise as well as plenty of mental stimulation. Going to training classes is a great way for Gaston to bond with his new family members while meeting new people, socializing with other dogs and brushing up on his manners.   

The adoption fee for adult dogs is $225 and includes 60% off one 7-week dog training session. 

Polarbear is the ultimate lap cat; he likes toys, but he loves laps.  When he's not occupying your lap, he'll be content with a comfy perch where he can watch the world go by. He is looking for a family that will groom him regularly as well as give him tons of love!
