Animal Aid & Rescue Foundation is dedicated to supporting and promoting the preservation and well-being of all animals, wherever the need exists. AARF’s focus is to be a constant and powerful source of information and assistance for the public. We provide continued support though our “Angel Fund” where we help with medical expenses when people cannot cover them for their animals. We have also created alliances with local pet stores and distributors who provide dog food donations that we distribute to those in need. Through the Foundation, individuals and rescue groups will find assistance in their efforts and support for their causes. In the past couple of years we have built relationships with rural rescues in the south to bring dogs up to the northwest that would otherwise be euthanized. AARF provides food and medical care and our amazing fosters give them love and support until we can find the perfect forever home for them. Since 80% of the dogs in these rural shelters are euthanized, we have put in place a very low cost spay/neuter program targeting people that surrender dogs and puppies to the shelter as well as anyone else that needs help with this. We believe that in working with rescue animals, we will not only save lives but also discover the depth of compassion within ourselves. Sharing that compassion with friends and family is what helps build our community.
