Our Dogs

Our Program

ARCF is proud to announce the revival of its dog foster program! Under the direction of our new Coordinator, the program will allow ARCF to use its resources for helping dogs as well as cats.

Our goal is to help dogs join stable, loving families. We work with a great variety of dogs. Some of these dogs need medical care, which ARCF will provide, or need time to recover from a medical procedure. Some of them just need a little training to help make them ready to go to a new home. All of them are friendly loving dogs that want and deserve a forever home.

We're trying to build a strong network of foster homes to help us achieve our goal. We always need more homes. If you have room in your home, heart and schedule to help a dog in need, please give us a call! Some of the responsibilities of fostering a dog may include vet appointments, giving medicine, working on basic training commands, feeding and exercising, and meeting potential adopters (if you're comfortable with that). We can help you with tips and advice and assist with the introductions. But the most important qualities in a foster parent are love, kindness and the desire to help give a dog a better life.

Looking to adopt a new companion dog? Please check our list of adoptable animals on Petfinder and 1-800-Save a Pet. Visit our YouTube site to view videos of our animals.

We do not currently accept owner-surrendered dogs. We work primarily with homeless dogs and interagency transfers (dogs at other shelters, that might not have the resources needed to care for the dog).
