How is ARF different from Animal Control or the Central Valley SPCA?
ARF is a private, non-profit, animal welfare organization, dependent on donations. Animal control departments and the Central Valley SPCA are county or city agencies, funded by taxpayer dollars that are set up primarily to meet the city or county’s animal control needs. However, ARF, the various city Animal Control departments, and the Central Valley SPCA work together to save as many lives a possible. At ARF, healthy and loving animals are never put to death to make room for more incoming animals. At ARF, as new homes are found for our dogs, more dogs who have run out of time at public shelters are rescued.
