AARF (Animal Adoption & Rescue Foundation)
About Our Rescue Group
AARF is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit group run entirely by volunteers. AARF's mission is to assist people and animals in the community through adoption services and rescue operations.
Just a little over a year ago, we finally found a location to host our adoption fairs and volunteer activities. We need volunteers and donations -- the more the better. Since we are an all volunteer organization, all donations go directly to the animals -- mostly for veterinarian bills.
Come Meet our Pets
AARF holds adoption fairs every Saturday from noon to 4:00 pm at two locations: the "AARF House" at 311 Harvey Street (1 block off Stratford Road behind Ham's Restaurant) and at Pet Supermarket at Thruway Shopping Center. Please come and meet our volunteers and our pets. We would love to see you!!

Dog adoption and cat
adoption saves lives. Adopt
a dog or adopt a cat and you'll
have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting
a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats
for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs
and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of
dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed
is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten
breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat
or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt
a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane
society or pet rescue group.
