NOTICE!!
We are receiving multiple e-mails per day asking if we're
affiliated with the people who are using our name and claiming
to have tea cup yorkies and english bulldogs for sale.
Animal Refuge Foundation does not send out e-mails trying to
sell our animals. We offer mixed breed dogs for adoption to
people who visit our facility and fill out an application,
pass our requirements, and pay a small fee.
ARFhouse is now the third largest care-for-life, no-kill canine sanctuary in the U.S. with over 340+ dogs on site. ARFhouse provides refuge and care for unwanted, abused, and/or physically challenged canines without regard to size, breed, temperament, age or physical disabilities. Many of the dogs are free to roam the 25 acre property and swim in one of the three ponds. The unsocialized dogs have large 30' by 60' yards with their own dog houses, and if possible, an animal companion with which they can get along.
Another day at ARFhouse! Not only do we see that the dogs are healthy, and well-cared for, but it's also important to us that the animal be happy. The animals aren't in small cages or confined to small areas. Even the aggressive animals have large 30 by 60 yards. And there's always something to keep the interest of the ARFhouse canines, whether it be "helping" ARFhouse volunteers do chores, chasing wildlife, swimming in the ponds, or socializing with the other dogs.
The ARFhouse Adoption Program allows some of the ARFhouse animals to be available for adoption to suitable owners. Since those animals which are not adopted will stay at ARFhouse for life, ARFhouse works hard at insuring that a prospective owner has the level of commitment necessary to properly care for a dog.
The Be-A-Pal Program lets you sponsor the dog of your choice at ARFhouse. These are dogs that may not be suitable for a family environment or have special health needs that require frequent attention. For $20 a month periodic photos of the dog you choose to sponsor. Through your support and ARFhouse's caring volunteers, these dogs are given a second chance at a good life.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU goes out to Mutt Hutt on Grand Avenue in
downtown Chicago. These great folks allow our affiliate, ARFhouse
Chicago to bring rescued dogs from Texas to their facility while awaiting adoption.
Recently we had 27 dogs transported by ARFhouse Chicago, and most were boarded at Mutt
Hutt. This gives our dogs a place and time to find the perfect homes. It wouldn't be
possible without Mutt Hutt.
