ARF serves the community in many ways. We rescue animals from the shelter and the community, assist other rescue groups without 501(c)3 status to pull animals and gain access to services, attend weekly adoption events, send unadopted animals to New England and New Jersey on our frequent transports, and run two low-cost or free spay/neuter trips to Asheville Humane Alliance every month. Our volunteers are constantly at work driving, rescuing, vetting, applying for spay/neuter grants, fundraising, assisting community members, and–of course–cleaning!
All adopters fill out a contract and pay an adoption fee. Adopters must be 18, have permission from all members of the household, and have the permission of the landlord. They must also be approved by the foster parent in an interview (you can fill out this application to expedite the interview).
