Thank you for your interest in one of our pets! Many of our animals were pulled from less than ideal circumstances and therefore we want only the best for them in their new homes.

We are as much sanctuary as shelter, and our animals are only placed when we are as sure as we can be that the new home is the last and permanent home for this pet. In addition, our research shows that animals and homes that are thoroughly screened and matched make better permanent relationships between the pet and the family.

We retain the right to refuse any adoption.

You will be visited in your home by a AARRFF volunteer. In addition, we do follow up visits at one week, one month, six months and annually. We do charge adoption fees which vary with each animal. Adoption fee's are posted on each animal's web page.
Rescue and rehabilitation efforts are funded solely through adoption fees and donations. We receive no public funds.
We do not euthanize. Once an animal has been accepted into AARRFF, it will be cared for throughout it's natural life and it is always welcome to return here. In fact, our contract will require that you return the animal to AARRFF if you can no longer care for him or her, no matter what the reason.

Thanks - looking forward to hearing from you. AARRFF
