I adopted a kitten from there - the volunteers were great and I have recommended a few friends there. They are also loving their new pets. There are a lot more great animals there, if you are looking for a pet you should check there first!
Such an amazing place! I instantly fell in love with a fluffy loving cat and now he has a safe and loving family that he keeps entertained with his shenanigans.
Great place! One of my favorite places! You can take a dog for a walk by a beautiful creek!
Such a wonderful experience! I instantly fell in love with a pair of kittens and put in an application and heard from Gail the following morning! They truly care about their animals and check your vet and two friends as references to make sure they are placing their animals in the BEST home! Their communication is amazing and Gail and Amanda were incredible to go through this process with! Thank you all for everything you do, I cannot reccomend enough!!
Was given the address from the shelter, Showed up at about 3:20 time to spare to check the place out. Knocked several times to have someone open a window on me, Not even the door at least to speak to me clearly. Was told they were closed as they are a appointment only. This is what I could make out from all the dogs barking and the lady not having the decency to open the door to greet and speak to me like I’m human. Would’ve been 3 minutes out of your time to say that to me with some kind of respect.
We adopted a pup three years ago and although she’s perfect and wonderful now, she came with a very contagious to humans parasitic infection which our vet had to treat the moment we adopted her and it caused us distress and was expensive. Despite this experience, in good faith, we went back recently to ARF to adopt a pup and immediately fell in love with one but we were put through two agonizing weeks of application, numerous calls and phone interviews and being toyed with. Despite being returning parents (twice) we were denied based on excuses that are intolerable. We feel that the decision to deny us was made the moment we walked in. Based on my experiences, I would highly recommend going to other shelters.
