Background Information

Some of the animals at ARF come directly from owners who have to give up their pets, but who can keep them at home for a few weeks to work through ARF. Other animals are kept by ARF volunteers in their homes until they are adopted. ARF has found new homes for a total of 20,000 animals in their 30 years of operation.

The Adoption Fee Schedule

Dogs and Puppies - $100 up to $400

To adopt a dog will cost anywhere from $100 to $400, depending on the amount of spay/neuter costs, and the age and breed of the dog. Generally, an adult dog will cost $250 if we have to spay/neuter, and that price will include shots, heartworm test, ID chip. If the dog comes to us already spayed or neutered, it generally costs $100.

Kitten - $100 plus a $50 feluk/FIV test fee

$100 plus $50 for feluk/FIV test. This fee includes the prepaid spay/ neuter and a first shot.

Spayed or neutered cats - $85+

$85 if cat is already spayed/neutered and more for purebreds.

Spay/Neuter Policy

All of our animals 8-weeks and older will be spayed or neutered before the adopter takes the animal home. This procedure will have been prepaid in the adoption fee.
