Scout’s Adoption Story
We started fostering Scout (previously Button) in October 2021. It didn’t take us long to realize that she was going to be a Foster fail and as soon as she became adoptable she became part of our family. Scout won over our other dog Ranger on day #1, which was good because although Ranger was […]
Elsa’s Adoption Story
We are very happy with our decision to adopt from ARF. It only took one week for Elsa to realize that she wasn’t going anywhere and that she had a forever home. The first few car trips were stressful for her, but she got used to it when she realized she was always coming back […]
Parker’s Adoption Story
We recently adopted Parker (on the right, formerly Luigi) and this little dude is great. He is so smart and he fits in with us perfectly; it’s like he has always been here. He loves his big sister Sassy so much and copies everything she does. Thank you ARF!
Chief’s Adoption Story
The Heartwarming Tale of Chief (formerly Beano.) In May 2024, our family grew by four paws when we adopted Chief, and we never imagined just how much he would transform our lives. From the moment Chief trotted into our home, he brought a wave of joy and love that has only grown stronger with time. […]
Tucker’s Adoption Story
Thank you to ARF and all of the volunteers for everything you do. My husband and I adopted our dog, Tucker, from ARF in February 2015 when he was 5 months old. Sadly, Tucker passed away this past October just after his 9th birthday. But I wanted to let you know what an amazing life […]

Indy, on the left and Lola on the right, are best friends. These two lucky dogs were adopted by sisters and spend a lot of time together. It did not take them long to be bonded for life. Suzzanne says “We had been dog-free for about a year and decided it was time to start […]
Bailey’s Adoption Story

Bailey is currently six-months old and in training with Puppy Spirit, where he is very vocal in class. Bailey is a people lover and wants to visit everyone. We are often told that […]
Josie’s Adoption Story
Our 14-year-old beloved rescue dog passed away last August. We had originally thought that we would wait until the spring to adopt another dog but when we saw Ivy, now Josie, on the ARF website later that month, we could not resist meeting her and adopting her. Her foster parents had described her as ‘full […]
Poppy’s Adoption Story
Our family recently adopted Birdie, now Poppy, from ARF after we lost our 2 senior dogs and 1 cat in Nov and Dec 2023. I was immediately drawn to Poppy as not only is she beautiful but her bio mentioned she was good with kids, which was key for us. We met her and fell […]
Max’s Adoption Story
We recently adopted “Arlo” now known as Max. We lost our puggie in January of this year and the devastation was too much to bear. It took some time for my son and I to realize that we needed a fur baby in our small family, and what better way to bring joy to the […]
Luigi’s Adoption Story
We just adopted Luigi. Our family had been looking for a second dog but finding a dog that was good with kids, our senior dog, 2 cats and our bunny was not an easy task. The online write up of Luigi sounded like the perfect fit, and we loved that adorable face so we filled […]
