Adoption Fair

When you save the life of a homeless animal, you give the gift of love—and receive unconditional love in return. You gain a loyal best friend who will always be by your side while also creating space at the shelter for the next animal in need. By choosing rescue, you help put an end to backyard breeders and puppy mills, and you become an Ambassador of Hope, educating and inspiring your community about the power of rescue.

  • Cat Adoption Fair - Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. | View adoptable cats.

  • Dog Adoption Fair - Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. | View adoptable dogs.

Meow Madness

'Tis the season for MEOW Madness! To help our furry friends march through kitten season, we’re collecting supplies to care for orphaned kittens in need. Every little bit counts, and with your generosity, we can help save more lives. Currently, our greatest needs are heating pads, syringes and nipples, playpens, kitten formula, and bottles.

If you can donate, please drop off or mail donations to the AARF House located at 302 Thurston St., Winston-Salem, NC 27103. AARF has a wish list on Amazon where you can purchase items that ship directly to us or you can support AARF financially at aarfws.org/donate.

Meow Madness runs through March 31, but AARF can always benefit from your support, and our Amazon wish list is continuously being updated with our most needed items.

Thank you for your support!
