our purpose:
The Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation (AARF) exists to improve the lives of cats and dogs while strengthening the human-animal bond.
There are many ways you can make an impact. Adopt, Foster, Volunteer, or Donate. See what is right for you. We appreciate your interest.
Looking for a new furry family member? Thank you for thinking about adopting from a rescue organization. Each adoption saves two lives: the one you adopt and the space you’ve opened up for another animal to be helped. You will be your new pet’s hero!
Providing a temporary home for a cat or dog is a gift that keeps on giving. Animals that are fostered become more adoptable because of all the love, care and attention they are given. This is where they learn to trust again. Opening your doors to a homeless pet is rewarding beyond words.
AARF volunteers make a BIG DIFFERENCE. They are a remarkable community of knowledgeable, caring and dedicated group who welcome everyone who wants to pitch in. New faces are always appreciated. Please check out the many opportunities for you to contribute.
This event helps AARF care for the many cats and dogs that journey through our program and, just as importantly, raise awareness of AARF and its mission. Funds raised from the event will ensure that AARF can continue to be a major rescue in Forsyth County that treats most health situations. This benefit is every spring, but you can contribute year-round on our donate page. Our cats and dogs are always appreciative! Thanks for helping in whatever way you can.
To donate, please go to the upper right navigation and click DONATE. Thank you for helping.
