Every donation helps provide rescue animals with the care, shelter, and medical support they need to thrive. ARF is a registered charity (#89980-5956RR-0001) and is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, but we rely on community support to cover critical expenses—especially veterinary care. Whether you choose to give a one-time or monthly gift, sponsor an animal, donate supplies, or support in other ways, your generosity makes a life-changing impact.
All donations are deeply appreciated, and a tax receipt will be issued for any donation of $20 or more.
