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...
221 Dogs like Phoebe here are out of a once crowded, Sparta Puppy Mill and Never looking back. Thanks to the White County Sherriff’s department for making the call to the HSUS, the owner of the puppy mill surrendered all animals to authorities and in return, no charges were pressed. While this is a horrible [...]
Barn donated to AARF to boost canine rescue efforts
For clarification purposes, we would like to address a miscommunication that was printed in Monday’s Herald-Citizen (4/5/2010). A.A.R.F. was at one point looking at the possibility of renovating two barns in Cookeville for use as a shelter, but it was determined quite some [...]
Our Kennels are here! We have our building! Now we need to make the dream a reality! Here is what we need to make this happen:

The slope on one side of the building needs to be dug out, and proper [...]

We in rescue sometimes come across animals that literally take our breath away…like we have trouble breathing at the thought that anyone could treat an animal so poorly. Such is the case that happened today. A.A.R.F. received a call from a concerned citizen about 2 severely neglected dogs that her mom had been feeding. She [...]
Hope, now Bella, was rescued in 2007 from a horrific situation of abuse, neglect and cruelty. She was skin and bones upon arrival and very insecure. When I pet her for the first time, my heart ached…she loved it so much, she just wanted more. She would paw at me, as if to say “Please…don’t [...]
So our little Wally Monster is going in to be fixed tomorrow!!! I expect that anyone who is looking for an awesome personality as their first pre-requisite for adoping a dog will just become smitten with him. The pup that went from Devil Dog to “Stole My Heart” literally overnight…I just hope that we can [...]
