Organizes and conducts off site adoption days for PACC animals. Rescues animals at risk of euthanasia because of overcrowding and places them into volunteer foster homes until permanent homes can be found. ARF facilitates the rescue of more than 3,000 homeless, abused and abandoned pets each year. Through the assistance of volunteers and financial supporters, we are able to continue our mission and rescue Tucson's homeless pets - providing them with loving care while they await their forever home. ARF is always looking for people who have time to volunteer. We require assistance in the following areas: Facilitate adoptions at local adoption centers. Transport pets to and from adoption centers. Assist with adoptions at Pima Animal Care Center. Care for pets while they await adoption. Professional assistance in web or graphic design, accounting, fundraising and volunteer management. Adopting a Pet Our available pets can be visited during normal adoption hours each week. In addition, if you are unable to see a pet during normal hours, we will work with you to make special arrangements for you to meet the pet privately or with your existing pets. Adoption prices are as follows: Adult cats and kittens: $100.00 or through our special Catpatibles program, 2 cats can be adopted that are housed at the same foster home for a reduced price. Adult dogs: $125.00 Specialty breed dogs and puppies under 3 months: $150.00 All ARF pets are adopted with current vaccinations and are spayed/neutered. Dogs are microchiped and, if over 3 months, are rabies vaccinated and licensed. All of these services are included in the adoption fee. In addition, each adopter is presented with training resources and a free veterinary visit at a participating veterinarian. All adoptions are subject to application approval. Renters must provide written documentation in their lease or from their landlord stating they are allowed to house the pet they wish to adopt and have paid any security deposits prior to adoption.
