Animal Rescue Friends, LTD

ARF (Animal Rescue Friends) is a foster based rescue. We are an IRS approved 501c3 charity. We are run solely by volunteers so every penny goes directly to the animals. We are committed to do what we can to help save the lives of dogs that may be put to sleep. We will not over-extend ourselves and take on more then we have fosters for.

Additional adoption info

If interested in adopting; please fill out an Adoption Application located on our website animalrescuefriends.org. Once approved for the adoption there is an Adoption Contract that will be filled out. Our adoption donation fees depend on the dog (usually between $180 - $300) and we take cash and card. Most importantly is that we want to find the perfect home for our dogs!
