ARF Alumni
Some shelters label certain animals as “unadoptable” because they haven’t had the perfect health, upbringing or socializing.At ARF we know all they need is a lot of love, patience and time.
As you read the stories below, you will see that these animals have become the greatest pets their humans could ever ask for.Barbara Shea (1939-2016)
Barbara founded ARF thirty years ago and has left behind a tremendous legacy of service to animals and the community.A 30-Year Legacy
Barbara was a tireless advocate who helped countless animals find forever homes, helped them to heal and receive medical treatment, and allowed many to call ARF their forever home when adoption was not an option.Pilots n Paws
Pilots and plane owners volunteer their time, planes, and gas to transport shelter animals in need of rescue from point A to point B.These VERY generous pilots are our personal heroes.
They go that extra mile and some have even traveled in between thunderstorms, and on holidays risking their lives in order to save even ONE dog from being euthanized.+

RESCUES
George and Jerry spent their first 4 years of life in the care of ARF and I am so grateful I adopted these gentle loving creatures. They bring me joy every day. The volunteers really love their animals. One even cried when I took them home. Such wonderful people there.
I adopted my girl Daisy in 2011 as one of Sandi's pups. She was 8 weeks old and spoiled from the day she came home. She was my first dog I adopted as an adult and was treated as my child. She helped my fiance get over his fear of dogs. We added her sister a year later and were a happy family for 8 years doing everything together- we went to parks, down to the river, out for ice cream, had birthday parties for her, visited family, and her favorite- rides in the cars. She sadly passed away from epilepsy 12/24/19. She was the light and heart of our family and I thank ARF every day for letting me adopt our beloved Daisy.
