How is ARF different from County Animal Services?
ARF is a private, non-profit, animal welfare organization, dependent on donations. Animal services a county agency, funded by taxpayer dollars, which primarily meets a county’s animal control needs. ARF and local animal services work together to save as many lives as possible. At ARF, healthy and loving animals are never put to death to make room for incoming animals. At ARF, as new homes are found for shelter guests, staff rescues more animals who have run out of time at public shelters.
