A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue and Fixin’ Inc.) is small group of un-paid volunteers with a passion for animals. We foster these animals in our homes until they find forever homes. We are a NO-KILL rescue, and treat ALL illnesses that can be treated for any animal which enters our program. A.A.R.F. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization - we rely on you, the public for the majority of our funding so that we may save lives locally. Read more...
We have a few crashing, but things are under control. This is common when a pup contracts Parvo under this experimental treatment in my experience. This is similar to the situation with Cassidy, Lisa, and Buck previously. We are monitoring them hourly and they continue to stay hydrated, which is very important with Parvo. We [...]
Allie did NOT have to have ANY teeth pulled!!! She got a real good cleaning, and pre-anesthetic blood panel – and she is in GREAT shape! Dr. Barker with Copeland Veterinary Hospital perfomed the procedure, and even he seemed surprised at how well everything turned out. Upon pickup, Allie was running around, happy and cheerful and [...]
2 days left and many can come out of quarantine and go directly into foster homes…problem is, we need more foster homes to house them all!
10 Pups turned into 21 in an attempt to assist one of our partners in getting their facilities cleaned up and sanitized. We have lost only 1 of these pups [...]

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the fund to get Allie, the 10+ year young Poodle Mix’s teeth fixed so that she can enjoy the rest of her life without pain. The $400 was raised, and an appointment will be made Monday, 1/25/10 to schedule the procedure. ALLIE THANKS YOU VERY MUCH!!!
As most are aware, A.A.R.F. does not have a facility to house animals. Most of them time, we are bummed about this…but occassionally, when viruses and disease strikes, we are glad and feel blessed. Instead of a widespread outbreak, similar to what happens in animal shelters, our ourbreaks are contained to specific foster homes. Of [...]
I’ve been trying to get the “ideal” picture of Sushi, but my camera and I are just too slow! I’ve sent one from Day One (at PetCo) and a more recent one from last week. She’s grown so much! She’s about 15 lbs. now and her paws can just reach the top of my kitchen [...]
