At Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation of Winston-Salem (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. Learn more about AARF.
While many shelters provide a place to stay, we provide a path to a new life.
As a compassionate no-kill 501(c)3 organization, we are committed to the health and happiness of our animals. They stay with us in loving foster homes or at AARF until their forever families are found.
We specialize in rescuing animals that others may turn away. From complex medical needs to behavioral challenges, we invest the time and resources needed to give dogs and cats a second chance.
Through our network of professional veterinary partners and dedicated foster families, we improve the health of the local pet community, one rescue at a time.
