Rescue FAQs

ARF is a small group of volunteers working from our homes. We help when and if funds and space are available and work within the confines of Jackson County, WV. We partner with Jackson County Animal Shelter and transport pets to rescue for both the shelter and ARF.

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins with an application. Every effort is made to match pets with adopters to find a good fit for both, for the goal is a lifetime of love and companionship. Adoption fees depend upon the amount of vet care needed for the individual pet; all pets must be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on shots. An adoption contract promises continued care and provision for the pet being adopted.
