The negative reviews are silly... We had a wonderful experience adopting our dog from ARF. It was very easy for us. We were approved within 2 weeks. We still communicate with his foster parent because she was so wonderful and helped us acclimate our dog over multiple weeks to us and his new home/cat siblings. We were even first time dog owners, and were able to adopt a high-energy, working breed with no working breed experience. Our active lifestyle fit the dog we wanted, and we were easily approved. We made it very clear that we have the time, money and schedule to handle AND TRAIN a high-needs, working breed and that it was not a decision made lightly. Our dog requires 2-3+ hours of vigorous mental and physical exercise a day to sort of tire him out. We're talking daily field work/1:1 training, multi-mile runs at 4:30 in the morning EVERY day, vigorous hikes multiple times a week and 2 days of daycare a week. Many of the people that applied before us worked long hours and lived in apartment complexes that would not allow our dog. ARF is thankfully doing their due diligence to vet owners before they just release pets to whomever comes by first... That is likely how our dog ended up in a shelter in the first place. Highly recommend them. They will ensure that the dog you like the look of VISUALLY on their website is ACTUALLY a good fit for your family. Best case scenario for you and the dog. Would definitely adopt with ARF again in the future. (Dog tax included).

I had an excellent experience with ARF. They were very communicative and I asked a LOT of questions. I applied for a puppy but she had already been claimed so they told me which other puppies were left. I came to the ARF house and visited and decided on my Beanie girl. She is the best. We waited another week until she was old enough to take her home and ARF continued to pay for her medical care through her puppy shots, deworming, spay, and microchip appointment. A lot of these negative reviews are about how thorough ARF is and I think it’s fantastic that they are so cautious about who they adopt animals out to! And they also pair pets with the families that are best for their personalities and needs instead of “first come, first serve” which….they’re animals, not furniture. I think it’s great :)

Thank you ARF of Tulsa. Your response time with our interest for your kitten Ditsy that we adopted was awesome. Thanks for all her required vaccinations and spay. The transaction with her adoption was so quick, professional, and fun. And of course your foster parents. They are wonderful! We love our Siamese kitten and hope to adopt with ARF of Tulsa in the future.

Everyone at ARF were very nice. We did not get the 1st kitten we wanted from them as they wanted them to go in pairs. We had to pick another & this 2nd Kitten picked us. She showed off & did tricks & loved on our 21 yo daughter & my self. (this was our daughters adoption). Everything just fell in to place. Piper is an Angel Kitten. She loves everyone so much but especially our daughter. She has been a part of our family from the second we held her & brought her home. She has a Super Sweet & gentle but playful disposition. ARF has exceeded our expectations with every question we have had. We highly recommend you try them 1st.

I personally had a wonderful experience with ARF. The application process was easy and fair. We adopted the love of my life from one of their fosters and I will cherish the memories I got to share with our senior cat forever. Everyone involved with ARF seems to want the best for every animal they take in. I love the fact that most of their animals are in foster care and not sitting in a shelter. I do not understand the negative reviews regarding vaccine and wellness check requirements so I felt the need to share my experience. I would happily adopt from them again and support them over other agencies.
