Our goal is to place every pet in a loving permanent home. The best interest of the pet is always our top priority. Please read the following questions and answers to learn more about adopting a pet from AARF.
AARF is a non-profit, no-kill rescue group. We are considered a “shelter” with regards to our state licensing, but we do not have a central facility. All of our “employees” are actually volunteers and we receive money only from donations, adoption fees and charitable grants. We are a “no-kill” group because we do not euthanize any animal who comes into our program unless it is a medical necessity of last resort. PAWS Atlanta is also a non-profit, no-kill shelter, but they have a central facility, unlike AARF. AARF is also very different from the pound, or animal control. The pound is run by a city or county and usually has a central facility that houses stray and unwanted animals. Most animal controls in the area have euthanasia rates between 50-85%.
Homeless pets need you! Want to get involved? Here at AARF, there is room for everyone to help out, even for a few hours a month. We have many ways you can get involved. Check out what it takes to be a foster parent. Or maybe you can't foster a pet, but you want to help in other ways. Then visit our list of volunteer activities. Maybe you don't have a lot of time, but you want to make a donation. Then, be a Fairy Pet Parent or donate online. And you are never too young to help out. Check out our Kids 'N' Kritters program.
