Our Featured Pet...

Pet of the Month - Comet

Comet is a sweet boy with a sway-in-the-breeze personality. He loves to go on walks and follows the lead with ease. He is a loyal boy looking for a family to devote his love to. He has a Peter Pan syndrome you have to see to believe. He thinks he's 10 in human years as opposed to his actual 100 in dog years. But do not think for a second that his grandeur is delusion. I spend everyday with him in a pack of dogs at day care and not only can he keep up, but he's got a system all worked out for it. He's smart, he learns and he's one of the coolest dogs I've ever met. I know what you're thinking...bills and age and pee and poo... but honestly, once you let him into your world, he's completely worth everything you put into it.

Who We Are

ARFhouse Chicago (Animal Refuge Foundation) is a no-kill animal shelter located in Chicago. Founded in 2006, a group of individuals with experience in the animal rescue industry and the desire to help Chicago lower its euthanasia rate and homeless pet population formed ARFhouse Chicago. We are a 100% volunteer run organization.

ARFhouse Chicago will place dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits into permanent homes. We currently house our animals in foster homes and boarding facilities.

ARFhouse Chicago is affiliated with ARFhouse in Sherman Texas, the third largest no-kill sanctuary in the United States. ARFhouse is located in a rural area of North Texas and recognizing the potential for a beneficial partnership with a large urban shelter, has offered invaluable support to ARFhouse Chicago.

All of the animals at ARFhouse Chicago are current on vaccinations, heartworm checked, spayed or neutered, microchipped, and receive routine medical check ups. We pride ourselves on the level of care, commitment, and medical attention that our animals receive.

ARFhouse Chicago NFP is an Illinois non-for-profit organization. We are proud to announce that our 501(c)(3) status has been approved and all donations to ARFhouse Chicago are tax deductible.
