Four paws up to Missy, our aussie mix, and Cali, our tortoiseshell cat, who both went to their forever homes.

Blackjack is my name and loving is my game. A young male tux, Blackjack is mellow, good with felines, and is looking for a permanent home. He will be sure to warm your heart this fall.

Sweetpea, the Maine coon tabby-mix, was abandoned in a box on the ARF porch. Now her days are spent curled in a warm bed, sleepily watching the days go by. Sweetpea is a young soft mixture of grey, black and white.

Miss Hunnie Bunnie needs a home. She is a 3-year-old Chiweenie who is friendly with cats, canines, and humans. With bunny ears, Hunnie is sweet as nectar and loves to ride in the car.

Leonardo is almost 2 years old. Always open to new friendships, Leonardo will bravely welcome any four-legged that walks through the door, be it canine or feline. He knows no enemies, as he makes sure all the new orphans at ARF are accepted and safe. A sleek, short-haired gray, Leonardo, along with his siblings, lost his mom shortly after birth. One by one, his brothers were all adopted. He chose to pass it on, as Mr. Mom to Dawn and Dusk, who also lost their mom and were living under a house. Leonard is a one-of-a kind furry friend who is at his best consoling and loving other cats and dogs.
