My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Mulligan ⛳🐾
Mulligan is a stunning medium-haired female with a story as memorable as her name. She was found as a stray lingering around a local golf course. Despite efforts to locate an owner, she was never claimed. In golf, a mulligan is a second chance or a do-over. And that’s exactly what this special girl has been given. She has a fresh start and a brighter future.

One look at Mulligan and you’ll notice her charm right away. Her white paws look like she’s dressed in her finest stilettos and her extra-long whiskers are so impressive they might just stretch across our zip code. She carries herself with elegance and quiet grace.

After she was safely secured, it was discovered that Mulligan needed FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery likely due to a severe old injury. The “ball” of her hip joint had become detached and surgery was needed to correct the positioning of her femur and relieve her pain. Thanks to veterinary care followed by physical therapy to rebuild strength and range of motion, Mulligan has made wonderful progress. She then spent several weeks decompressing in a loving foster home, where her personality truly began to shine.

Her foster learned that Mulligan enjoys:
* Playing with toy mice, paper balls and the laser
* Watching birds and deer through the window
* Being brushed (Regular brushing will be important to keep her beautiful coat tangle-free and is a great way to bond with her)
* Listening to holiday and classical music 🎶

Mulligan is a snuggler once she trusts you, but she can be a bit skeptical of loud noises and being picked up. She may need patience around children and men, as she has shown that she tends to hide from them. A calm, understanding home that lets her build confidence at her own pace would be ideal.

We are incredibly grateful to our supporters whose donations made it possible for Mulligan to receive the medical care she needed to enjoy a wonderful quality of life. Now, she’s ready for the final piece of her journey; a forever home.

We would love nothing more than to see Mulligan settled into her own loving family for the holidays, so she can kick off the New Year with comfort, security and a second chance well earned.

The shelter is open Tuesdays through Fridays 3:30-6:30pm AND Saturdays & Sundays 1pm-4pm. No appointments are needed during those times. If you are not available during those times, special arrangements for a meet and greet may be able to be arranged by emailing arfcats@bereaanimalrescue.com. Thank you for considering the adoption of a shelter animal in need!

More about this rescue

Berea Animal Rescue Fund “ARF” began in 1987 as a small group of animal lovers started a ‘grassroots’ movement, recognizing the desperate housing and healthcare needs of homeless animals. Their efforts began in the southwest suburban Cleveland area, transforming a family’s garage into an animal "shelter."

The ARF movement grew when the city of Berea provided us a small building, utility costs included. In return, ARF would always have a cage open for the city’s stray animals. Now, after 20 years of service and thousands of success stories later ARF continues to save lives and make friends. ARF is operated in large part by a group of very dedicated volunteers who give their time and endless love to the shelter's furry residents.

Our next big goal is to position ourselves into a roomier facility…a more spacious home to the area's unwanted and abandoned animals. We believe no pet should be euthanized or left behind because lack of such a place. Our facility is overcrowded and outdated by today’s animal welfare standards. ONLY, through the generous support of the community and the dedication of our volunteers, can we make this dream a reality.

2007 was record breaking for ARF with both animals served and operating costs. Much help is needed!

The Berea Animal Rescue Fund “ARF” operates as a No Time Limit Shelter.
We are a 501(c) 3 Non Profit.

ARF's mission statement.... For the betterment of the lives of stray and abandoned animals, Berea’s Animal Rescue Fund, Inc. promises to:

Give loving care and companionship for as long as needed;
Provide shelter, food and medical necessities;
