Mischievous Cookie & Theo!
We adopted Cookie and Theo from the ARF almost 2 years ago. We have had so much fun with our kitties and they always keep us on our toes. They each have their own space and love the cardboard houses Santa brought them. Theo, who was named Bobbi Brown when we got him, has quite […]
Missy’s Happy Ending
We adopted Missy as an adult from ARF in March 2021; she’s our ‘Covid pup’! She has been such a wonderful addition to our family. She is cuddly, loves long walks and car rides, and is a great traveler during long distance car trips. Most importantly, she was the reason I started volunteering in dog […]
Sophie
We adopted Sophie from ARF in April 2018. Sophie’s foster family were amazing (Zoe & Ryan) and we knew the minute we met her that she was meant to be part of our family. She was all legs with a little tiny body. She quickly settled in our home and stole our hearts. She has […]
Lovely Tessa
January 31st this year was eight years since we met Tessa at ARF. We were told she was shy and reactive and might not be the right fit for a family. We are happy to report that she has worked out perfectly!!
Amazing Tula!

Rambunctious Boomer

Sometimes that includes sitting at a brewery in the sunshine while enjoying beverages and treats. Jackson loves kids and other dogs. He even has a […]
A Tribute to Bob The Dog
On April 30, 2021 a family lost a faithful friend. Bob was around 18.5 years old and rescued by ARF in the spring of 2003. You may have even seen his photo in our brochures years ago and we’d classify this story as the best “foster fail” story ever. The following note came in from […]
