Animal Rescue Foundation
ARF is based in Ontario, Canada. We volunteer to help find permanent loving homes for dogs who are in crisis situations, regardless of geography. We are 100% volunteer, not a registered charity, foster home based, do not have a shelter facility, and provide exceptional rehabilitation and adoption programs for all animals we welcome from across the globe. In addition to our ARF International & Ontario adoption program we volunteer to co-host and subsidize much of the cost for vaccination and medical mobiles in Indigenous Communities across Ontario.
Our Vision
To promote humane treatment, compassion, and respect towards all companion animals.
Our Goals
- To implement accessible and affordable spay/neuter surgeries for adult companion animals and to reduce the overall number of strays needing to be rescued.
- To educate the public on the benefits of positive training techniques.
- To support Bite Prevention Campaigns, working towards reducing the number of dog bites in the community and helping to keep families and their companion animals safe.
Only with your help
ARF receives no government grants and we operate completely on donations from fellow animal lovers, monies raised through adoption fees and fundraising projects developed by our volunteers. We are 100% volunteer, we are grassroots, and are not a registered charity. The majority of our expenses go towards essential veterinary care, training and supplies for the animals we rescue. While all of our dogs require vaccinations, spay/neutering, de-worming, quality food & TLC, most of them do require more extensive veterinary procedures and consultations with trainers.
