Support ARF

Your contributions are desperately needed. ARF spends an average of $150 per animal on rescues, and sometimes considerably more if the animal is sick, neglected, heartworm positive, or injured when it comes into our care. We only charge $60-$70 for most adoptions. Your donation helps ARF rescue dogs and cats that are injured, sick, starving, or otherwise neglected. 

ARF also subsidizes spay and neuter by providing coupons for people needing assistance or those who rescue multiple animals. Your donatons help us recover these costs as well.

Memberships and contributions to ARF are tax deductible.For more information call 1-877-ARF-JCNC, or email donate (at) a-r-f.org.

Be a foster parent

We are also always looking for good folks to foster animals waiting for adoption. The more people who can help, the more animals we can save. Please contact us at the address above or by email at adopt (at) a-r-f.org if you are interested.

Assistance with Food

We appreciate your food donations, though ARF foster parents seldom use donated food because they must keep their dogs and cats on consistent diets. We use your donated food to help those who need assistance feeding their pets during difficult economic times.

If you are having trouble paying for pet food during tough financial times, don't abandon your pet. Abandonments are on the rise, and most animals surrendered at shelters will be euthanized. Contact ARF at (877) ARF-JCNC to ask about assistance. And if you're interested in contributing to this effort, we need to hear from you too. Every little bit helps!
