Who is ARFP?

The Animal Rescue & Foster Program, or ARFP, is a volunteer organization dedicated to helping abandoned animals. We were founded in 1993 and have the most amazing, dedicated, awesome volunteers! We are an in-home foster care program. This means that 99.5% of the animals in ARFP live in foster homes. The other .5% live at the Next Step Adoption Center. Opened in 2003, for our ten year anniversary, the Next Step Adoption Center has been an amazing venue for ARFP to show animals to the public. We are open three days a week to the public for adoptions. Foster parents bring their animals on those days in hopes of them being adopted. ARFP is a No-Kill organization, so the animals taken in do not have a deadline. They are with us until the right home comes along.

Where does our funding come from? Individual donations and fundraisers. We are not State or County funded.

Why a blog? Blogs are so big right now. They keep people informed and up to date on happenings. They also help people to see you for who you are. If only one adoption somewhere comes from someone reading this blog then it will all be worth it.

I'm Sharon Gray and my goal is to post as often as possible and keep you up to date on ARFP happenings and what babies we have up for adoption.
