ARF is a group of dedicated, loving VOLUNTEERS that do not place animals in a shelter location - all animals are in family environment foster care. Therefore an initial saftey screening process is necessary - an online application must be submitted in order to start the interview process. Animals spend approx. one month with volunteer families that work with a positive reinforcment trainer ( www.awesomedogs.ca ) to begin housetraining, crate training, sits, recalls, and basic leash work. Our animals receive the best in medical care, high quality diet, and excellent socialization before they are placed up for adoption. A lot of wonderful work goes into each of these rescued creatures that we know deserve the best care for the rest of their lives.
Our animals are all RURAL RESCUES - mid-extra large mixed breed, MUTTS that make wonderful companions for the dedicated and loving adopter.
We look for adopters that are willing to embrace positive reinforcment training, understand that you cannot judge a book by its cover when adopting a MUTT, and will involve their companion in their everyday active lifestyles.
