Animals Requesting Friends Benevolent Society
Our Featured Pet...
Tiger is a 4-5 yr old collie mix. He is a very sweet and loving dog that desperately needs a home. He was put in a local humane society as a puppy. He was then adopted, only to be put in a pen outside. He has lived there ever since he was adopted with little attention given to him at all. He is a very friendly dog that is starving for attention. He gets along well with other dogs, however he dislikes cats.
Tiger needs a warm, loving, permanent home.
News
We are very excited about becoming a part of petfinder.org. Our Referral Service is a new project for our organization. Unfortunatley, we lack the funds, foster homes, or facility to foster/house any animals at this time. Therefore the animals must stay in their present location until the time of adoption. This makes it very important to find homes for our loving pets. We hope to increase our adoptions by putting our pets online.
Who We Are
Animals Requesting Friends is an all volunteer, not-for-profit, publicly supported, non-facility Humane Society founded to prevent the over breeding of cats and dogs by providing educational materials, programs, and financial assistance to pet owners for the purpose of spaying and neutering their pets in order to prevent the birth of unwanted animals and their eventual suffering.
Adopting a friend
Because we promote spay/neutering, every pet that goes through the ARF Referral service must be spayed/neutered before being adopted. We ask that the person surrendering the animal pay for all or part of the altering. However, in some case we may ask the adoptee to pay for all or part of the altering. If we should happen to ask the adoptee to pay, the donation may be waivered so that it could be put toward the altering of the adopted pet. We ask that the adoptee fill out an adoption application, so that pets are placed in warm, loving, and permanent homes. Adoption fees are by donation. We ask for a minimum donation of $15.00 for cats and $30.00 for dogs. These donations are placed in ARF's Brandy Fund. This is a fund that was established to help augment the cost of spaying and neutering companion animals of Wayne County.
Come Visit Us!
Unfortunately, ARF lacks a facility for visitors to come visit. We are a group of volunteers that work directly from our homes and computers. However, monthly meetings are held the second Thursday of every month at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church located on outer West Delaware in Fairfield, IL. Fairfield is located approx. 30 minutes straight east of Mt. Vernon, IL.
Everyone is Welcome!
