ARF's primary mission is to rescue animals from city animal kill shelters. For more than 20 years we have been caring for homeless pets and finding them new homes. We are non-profit, relying completely on public funding. The majority of our money is spent on veterinary bills. All of our animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, given a physical, and tattooed (except for kittens) for identification. We are foster-home based to give our rescued animals a loving environment until we can find them a forever home.

We need and appreciate your generous donations. We also accept donations of materials such as dog and cat food, animal bedding, collars, leashes, food bowls, dog and cat toys, and animal treats. All donations are tax deductible!
