ARF actively rescues cats and dogs, provides quality care and offers sanctuary until loving homes can be found.
VETERINARIAN VERIFICATION – If the potential adopters currently have other animals in the home, we must call the veterinarian to verify that the animal is altered and up-to-date on DA2PP & Rabies for a dog and FVRCP & Rabies for a cat. DOG MEET AND GREET – A meet and greet is required if the potential adopter has another dog currently in the home. The meet & greet would happen either at ARF or at one of our ARF offsite adoption events by an ARF handler. FAMILY MEET AND GREET – We highly recommend that the immediate family be present to meet the new animal being chosen. It is a wonderful experience for a family to choose an animal together. In addition, some animals have a strict requirement that all family members must be present due to either medical of behavior issues. This requirement will be listed in the animals’ description. LANDLORD VERIFICATION – If the potential adopter rents their home/apartment we must contact the landlord or management company for verification that they can have an animal in their home/apartment. Alternatively, a potential adopter may bring a copy of their lease/rental agreement showing they have a pet clause. AGE REQUIREMENT – All potential adopters must be over 21 years of age, and if they live with their parents, the parents must be contacted during the adoption process to ensure they are allowing a pet into their home.
