Party 4 Paws 2026
Ten Years of Tails to Tell
This event helps AARF care for the many cats and dogs that journey through our program and, just as importantly, raise awareness of AARF and its mission. Funds raised from the event ensure that AARF can continue to be a major rescue in Forsyth County that treats most health situations. This benefit is every spring, but you can contribute year-round on our donate page. Our cats and dogs are always appreciative! Thank you for helping in whatever way you can.
Find Your New Best Friend
At AARF, your new best friend is already waiting for you. Through adoption, you’re not just giving an animal a home—you’re gaining a loyal companion who’ll change your life in the best way.
