Kuranda Donate-A-Bed Program

ARF is always in need of supplies for the rescued puppies and dogs in our volunteer foster homes. Kuranda’s “Donate A Bed” program enables you to donate chew-proof dog beds to ARF at discounted prices (30-35% off of the retail price!)

Donate-A-Car Program
You can help ARF by donating your car, truck, RV, boat, quad, trailer, motorbike or even your airplane!
It's easy: just go to Donate A Car Canada's website at www.donatecar.ca and fill out their DONATE form to submit your vehicle. Donate A Car Canada will confirm your eligibility and look after everything to sell your vehicle and then donate the net sale proceeds to ARF so we can continue to help as many animals as possible. Just remember to select the Animal Resuce Foundation of Alberta (ARF) as the charity of your choice, and we'll send you a valuable tax receipt!
