Adopt a Dog or Puppy

Steps for Dog/puppy Adoption

  1. Check out the dogs available for adoption.

  2. Come to an Adoption Fair. Dogs do not live at AARF and are only there on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Follow AARF on Facebook for schedule updates.

  3. Submit an application.

  4. Once your application has been approved and your references have been checked, we setup a home visit.  When completed and everyone decides this is a good fit, we will schedule a time for you to come to the AARF house for the adoption.  At that time you will receive the vet records we have, complete all the paperwork, pay the adoption fee and you take your new puppy/dog to its forever home! It’s a very happy moment for everyone.
