Description
Animal Rescue of Fresno (ARF) was established in 1998 by a group of community members in Fresno, CA that wanted to do something about the high number of homeless dogs that were dying because no one gave them a chance to find their forever home.
ARF began its operations out of a small facility on Belmont Ave and Highway 99. ARF moved to its current location on Dakota Ave. in 2005. From its humble beginnings, ARF has grown quickly, so that more and more dogs each year can be rescued and adopted out to loving forever homes.
ARF is a private, non-profit, animal welfare organization with the goal of reducing the number of homeless dogs in Fresno County. We do not rescue cats, birds, or wild animals though we do work with a variety of different rescue groups to support the care of all animals.
How does ARF help animals?
ARF helps dogs a variety of programs, including adoption, owner assist placements, and the senior program. These programs help fulfill ARF's mission by reducing the number of homeless dogs and ensuring the humane treatment of animals.
