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...
As many of you are aware, northern shelters don’t have the problems that we do…people there understand the need for spay/neuter and their shelters are therefore empty. When we received a last minute call from our friends at the Ohio SPCA, we jumped at the opportunity to send animals who were begging for their lives [...]
After spending years and years used from Breeding, living under unknown conditions to A.A.R.F., Phoebe has been transformed into a beautiful, happy and delightful little creature!

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 rafters in this building need to be repaired, as they are patched and not supported properly
The slope on one side of the building needs to be dug out, and proper [...]
We are pleased to report that our boys, Freckles and Drake, have made an AMAZING transformation into quite handsome fellows!
