About Our Shelter

A.R.F. is a private dog shelter funded entirely by donations. Our mission, with your help, is to provide quality of life to dogs that have previously known only neglect and cruelty. Many friendly, attractive, adoptable dogs, through no fault of their own, find themselves in an animal control shelter waiting for disposal. We rescue these dogs and try to find people with generous hearts, willing to give love and care and a home they deserve.

Our Adoption Process

All our dogs are spayed/neutered (when age appropriate) and current on vaccinations We use HeartGuard for the prevention of heartworms and Frontline to prevent fleas, monthly. This is a regiment we recommend to all adoptors. Adoption fees of $175.00 go towards medical attention and care of our dogs. Our adoption process includes filling out an adoption application and a meeting in which we hope to be helpful with information in choosing the right dog for you.
Our Address:

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 or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
