Hi ARF, I just wanted to give you an update on my baby, Possum. He is doing great!! He still has heart worms, but we're hoping that will be done soon. He is a love bug. He loves neck scratches and his treats. He is always waiting for me when I get home from work-he is up and ready for Mommy to give him some attention and hugs. He is the sweetist most gentle guy, and we just love him to the moon and back! Thank you again for saving this precious guy. You are an awesome Rescue!! All our thanks, Elaine, Ed and Possum

My family adopted megabyte and renamed him Gizmo. We've had him a few weeks now. He has settled into his new home quite nicely. Our 7yr old puggle loves him, they get along so well. We love Gizmo so much, he has a great personality.

Mocha, the Rottie/Beagle mix, was adopted by us adopted at 5 months 14+ years ago. She lives in SC with us now and is content guarding the house, walking the perimeter of the yard where she wore a track, looking out window during the day and chasing squirrels on her good days. She is our happy, spoiled and content furbaby!

https://www.animalrelieffund.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=837040 I adopted "Kiwi" (now Nikki) over ten years ago. I'm happy to report that she's doing phenomenally, and still acts like a puppy all these years later! She saved my life two years after adoption when I was attacked by a coyote in the middle of the day. We're best of friends and I dread the day when I'll be forced to part with her. She's the most wonderful dog I've ever had the privilege of meeting, and she'll forever hold a special place in my heart.

On 11/03/18 we came in inquiring about a dog, to our surprise Paisley aka Lindy was there waiting on us. From the first look my daughter and I felt she was our dog! A week later she has adapted well with our family and seems to get along with other animals and even children. She does tricks we didn’t even realize she could do. We are pleased with our experience with ARF and want to thank all involved.

Lost our 13 y/o yorkie poo few months back. We've been lost with out him. Came across your website and found Mazy. What a precious void filler. ♡ She has filled our hearts with such joy already. Thank you for all you do for these animals and your guidance and care through the years with our Angel Tidbit, from beginning to the end.

I have volunteered twice. These people are lovely and know a lot about how to handle both dogs and cats. They are wonderful and helpful people. I am happy to be putting my time into this organization. I also adopted Ms. Slate from them and she's a happy and healthy kitty. : >

7 years ago my daughter and I traveled 100 miles 1-way to pick up a beautiful calico kitten Tiki who we renamed Kiki. She is the most loving and sweetest "kitten" even today. ARF thank you for fostering and finding homes for so many homeless animals.

We adopted Kendall almost a year ago. Best thing we ever did! While I was hesitant about a puppy she fit right into our lives and we cant imagine life without her. She loves to run and play with the neighbors dogs. Loves to greet and kiss every human she meets. And my 5 year old son is definitely her human. If he is somewhere she is right there. Two peas in a pod. Which is the connection I was truly hoping for when we decided to adopt a dog. I should have know it was there when he walked right up to her cage looked at her and said that's our dog mommy. and she is our dog. Thank you so much for allowing us to take her home. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/543958_10151289576753771_311882251_n.jpg

We adopted McCoy (lab/Shepard). He has definitely come out of his shell. He's crazy but is loving the big yard and his new home.

I hope this is the same ARF I adopted my cat from in 1994. Your address on the adoption form was Hopkins MN. I adopted a cat from ARF in 1994. I wanted to let you know that she is well and wise at the age of 18 years. To bad there is not an option to upload a photo. She looks great! She spends most of her time sleeping now.

Mocha, that beautiful rottie/beagle, is living with Alfunzo and Teresa Clark in SC where she has a large fenced yard, is an in-door doggie and loves everyone who comes to visit. She has over 30 toys and takes them out of her basket when she wants to play. Mocha is truly loved and still a hyper, happy girl!

Back in June of this year, my fiance' and I traveled from Chesapeake, VA to MD to adopt a shih-tzu as a companion for our shih-tzu however, upon arriving were told that "Jaxx" had already been adopted. There were many lovely dogs and pups to choose from but somehow "Frank" chose us...he was a "wired" silky terrier that several other families had adopted and returned because he was "too active". We agree that he is definitely active but he's the sweetest little boy and his little Khloe would be sick without him! He completes our family and we're so lucky to have him. He snuggles on the sofa with his "woobie" and loves tummy scratches, long walks and chasing squirrels. Thank You again ARF for everything that you're doing to give these wonderful little gifts forever homes...God Bless You!!

We adopted Stratus (Pitt Bull Mix) a year and 1/2 ago and he is doing wonderfully. He was so shy and scared when we brought him home, but now he is a happy, loving dog. He adores the kids and sleeps beside my 13 yr old at night. Why anyone would want to be afraid to adopt a pitt is beyond me. This is the most loving dog I have ever owned.

We adopted Lily back in May 2004 I believe. She was a shy quiet girl until we found out how crazy she was when she saw a ball. No kickballs or playground balls were safe with her around. She gave us warmth and smiles her entire life. We lost her to a stroke two weeks ago and it still pains me thinking about it. She forever touched our lives in a way only pet lovers can understand. We'll miss our little "piggie girl" Lily. oxoxo

Mocha was adopted almost 6 years ago when we lived in MD. She now enjoys a home in SC with a fenced yard where she chases the squirrels and birds out of the pecan trees. She even has two neighborhood dogs who visit her at the window she “guards” day and night when she is not in the yard playing. Mocha is lovable to anyone she meets and is the joy of our hearts!

THANK YOU for our only "child" and joy of hearts!

As I write this, I'm flanked by our two babies -- Fergus (originally Sage) whom we adopted in August 2009 and Josie (originally known as Parsley) whom we adopted in October 2009. You might remember that Miss Josie had three kittens at ARF, one of which was Fergus. They are the light of our lives and every day I am so thankful for them. They adore each other and are just fabulous kids. We'll always be grateful to your wonderful volunteers for caring for them and bringing them into our lives.

Our family adopted Azure back in May, we renamed her Sasha, she is doing great. She had put on weight and is growing rapidly. She has a best friend Cookie whom she can't stand to be away from. I am greatful that we adopted her from ARF. She is spoiled rotten, they both think they own our bed and cause many nights of hogging everything up. She is a great dog and is loved dearly. Also has a great personality. They are hours of entertainment.

We adopted Lynn, now named Gracie Lynn, on May 17, 2010. She is a wonderful addition to our family and we are very thankful for ARF for bringing her into our lives. She's growing so fast and becoming a very energetic, loving little girl! We love her so much! Thanks ARF!

We adopted Wynonna 3 weeks ago and she is doing just wonderfully. We renamed her Marzi and she is the well-behaved envy of all our friends! She is definately out of her shell and we have rehabilitated the majority of her fearfulness. She has become best friends with our neighboors pit-bull puppy, and we are very nearly ready to declare her house-trained:)

My boyfriend & I adopted Blige on Jan. 5, 2008. His new name is Rukus and he lives up to his name along with our 2nd adopted pittie named Rowdy. They bring so much joy to our lives. We just adore them, and love taking them everywhere with us weather it's camping, hiking or boating.

My husband and I adopted Elsie in September of 2008. We've had her over a year now and we couldn't love this dog more. She is the sweetest thing and she is my shadow, follows me everywhere, lol. She's gained so much weight since we got her and now weighs 65lbs. She loves other dogs, children and women especially. The only guy she really loves is her Daddy. Adopting her is the best thing we have ever done. I'm proud to tell people we rescued her. She is the happiest dog and I can't imagine our life without her.

My husband and I adopted "Dopey", now Chloe on February 14, 2009. It is hard to believe she is now 8 months old and STILL growing! Her and her older sister Kala get along like typical sisters. They fight over toys and bones, but Kala is VERY...VERY protective of her baby sister! There isn't a day that goes by where she doesn't make us laugh. She has been an amazing adition to our family. Thank you ARF!
