ARF is a network of foster homes and other volunteers. We have no paid staff. We run a monthly low-cost spay neuter clinic and rescues pets from shelters and from the community. The southeastern US euthanizes thousands of cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens each year. We are trying hard to reduce those numbers.

Saturdays at our adoption location between 1 PM and 4 PM or by appointment with foster parent.

$70 Fee; contract, interview. Owners must be over 21, must keep other pets utd and altered, must provide safe, contained location for dogs Most cats and small dogs must go to indoor homes; check with foster parent for details. We check veterinary references.

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.
