Animal Rescue & Referral, Inc., founded in 1996, is a nonprofit organization of caring animal lovers who help find homes for unwanted or homeless dogs and cats. We also educate the public on animal-related topics, participate in spay/neuter programs, network with pure-breed and mixed-breed rescue groups, and provide informative advice and resources for pet owners. We also believe that education will help us battle the ever-growing problems of animal abuse, puppy mills and pet overpopulation.

A.R.R. has also established a feral cat rescue network. Statistics show that up to 19 million feral cats are living in America. These helpless cats risk being killed by automobiles or can die from starvation, disease, eventorture. It is our hope that by creating a network of caring individuals we will be able to humanely trap, transport, sterilize and provide veterinarian care for these creatures.

If you would like to have your pet posted on this web site, Fill out the Relinquishment form , for further assistance or any questions you can email or call us. We will be happy to take your emails and phone calls. Should we find a good match, we will call you to make arrangements to meet with you and the prospective adopter. We DO NOT have a shelter. Animal Rescue & Referral, Inc. also networks with other humane groups, have pets in foster care, and locally board them on occasion.

Owner Referral dogs have generally NOT been evaluated by ARR and information about these dogs comes directly from the owners. Many of these dogs are being given up because the owners do not have time for the animal, the prior owner has died, the owners are divorcing and moving to a place where they cannot take a pet, etc. We are providing a means for these owners to expose their dogs to a wider audience of potential adopters than would otherwise be available.
