ARFhouse Chicago
About Our Rescue Group
ARFhouse Chicago (Animal Refuge Foundation) is a no-kill animal shelter located in Chicago. Founded in 2006, a group of individuals with experience in the animal rescue industry and the desire to help Chicago lower its euthanasia rate and homeless pet population formed ARFhouse Chicago. We are a 100% volunteer run organization.
ARFhouse Chicago will place dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits into permanent homes. We currently house our animals in foster homes and boarding facilities and are working to secure a facility in 2007 to expand our operations. ARFhouse Chicago is affiliated with ARFhouse in Sherman Texas, the third largest no-kill sanctuary in the United States. ARFhouse is located in a rural area of North Texas and recognizing the potential for a beneficial partnership with a large urban shelter, has offered invaluable support to ARFhouse Chicago. All of the animals at ARFhouse Chicago are current on vaccinations, heartworm checked, spayed or neutered, microchipped, and receive routine medical check ups. We pride ourselves on the level of care, commitment, and medical attention that our animals receive. ARFhouse Chicago NFP is an Illinois non-for-profit organization. Currently, our federal charitable 501(c)(3) status is pending. ARFhouse Chicago NFP anticipates receiving federal charitable status approval and any donations made after August 25, 2006 will be tax deductible. Our Adoption Process
To adopt an animal, you must meet the following requirements:
-You must be at least 21 years of age with proper proof of age. Current identification must show your correct address and phone number. -You will be asked to make an adoption donation at the time of adoption. The requested donation is $150.00 for dogs, $125.00 for cats, $100.00 for rabbits and $30.00 for guinea pigs to help offset the costs such as vaccinations, spay/neutering, and microchipping. -You must provide a landlord’s phone number or a copy of your lease, if you rent. You must also provide proof of weight/breed restrictions for your apartment or condo. 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. |
