Volunteers needed to visit nursing homes with shelter cats and/or dogs to provide pet therapy for nursing home residents. New volunteers are not expected to conduct visits alone as there is always at least one other volunteer who conducts the visits. This is a very rewarding volunteer opportunity for people interested in aiding senior citizens and helping animals as well.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Berea Animal Rescue Friends is to provide compassionate quality care for companion animals in need.
Description
Berea Animal Rescue Friends (ARF) is a no-time-limit animal shelter that rescues stray and homeless companion animals, provides medical care, spay/neuter, vaccinations and housing, and prepares animals for adoption into loving homes.
As a 501c(3) organization, Berea ARF is funded exclusively through contributions from our supporters and revenues generated through adoptions and fundraising events. We have a small staff, and are operated largely through our exceptional, devoted team of 300-plus volunteers who work 365 days a year to care for our animals.
Prior to adoption, all animals are provided with basic veterinary examinations, age- appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, are tested for disease, and microchipped. Each year, Berea ARF places about 1,000 companion animals into their forever homes.
