Rock Star Lenny!!
My dad Dennis adopted Lenny from ARF in the summer of 2019 and they have become the best of friends! They do so much together– daily big walks and lots of frisbee tossing and catching in the giant back yard. My dad Dennis also signed Lenny up for agility training, and discovered that Lenny is […]
Rambunctious Boomer
I adopted Boomer (originally Hiway) on Feb 15, 2009. Boomer was a rambunctious deaf Australian cattle dog/chow mix, with many allergies. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to be his ‘dog mom’. In the 13 yrs that he was part of my pack, Boomer helped undo the stigma of having a ‘deaf […]
Jackson’s Happy Ending
Jackson has been such a warm and loving addition to our lives. He loves to go mountain biking with us, running with us, and really participates in anything we do! 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 […]

I adopted Hazel almost 3 years ago. At the time of adopting Hazel was very nervous around strangers and was terrified of men. Hazel has made a lot of progress since then, she is still timid around strangers at first, but warms up to them much faster. She also now has a boy best friend […]
