If you would like to adopt a specific animal,
please read everything on this page!
All ARF animals are rescued and fostered by individual
foster parents. Foster parents have final say on all
adoptions. Most of our pets are listed on Petfinder,
along with the contact information for the foster parent.
Where We Are
 ARF
holds adoption days most Saturdays between 1-3 PM (longer
if the weather is nice) at our new location on Railroad
St (behind Mill Street) in Sylva. (Get directions
from your location). You can also make an appointment
with the foster parent.
How to Adopt
All adopters fill out a contract and pay an adoption
fee. Adopters must be 18, have permission from all members
of the household, and have the permission of the landlord.
They must also be approved by the foster parent in an
interview (you can fill out this
application to expedite the interview).
Please check the petfinder listing for adoption fee.
For most of its animals, ARF charges an adoption fee
of $60 (cats) or $70 (dogs), which partially covers spay or neuter, vaccinations,
and other medical treament. Some older animals
cost less, and some sought-after breeds cost more.
We must also occasionally charge more to recover
extra medical costs. ARF spends an
average of $150 on each animal, but some require additional
care and treatment.
If you would like us to hold a specific animal that
you found on Petfinder,

Applying for an animal:

on Petfinder.
