AARF is a non-profit, no-kill rescue group. We are considered a “shelter” with regards to our state licensing, but we do not have a central facility. All of our “employees” are actually volunteers and we receive money only from donations, adoption fees and charitable grants. We are a “no-kill” group because we do not euthanize any animal who comes into our program unless it is a medical necessity of last resort. PAWS Atlanta is also a non-profit, no-kill shelter, but they have a central facility, unlike AARF. AARF is also very different from the pound, or animal control. The pound is run by a city or county and usually has a central facility that houses stray and unwanted animals. Most animal controls in the area have euthanasia rates between 50-85%. Some adopters may question why AARF charges between $100 and $175 for an adoption fee, while they could go to the pound and get an animal for little or no money. However, they forget that that animal will then need shots, medical care, and probably to be spayed or neutered. Most pounds do not provide these services, and they easily exceed $175. In addition, AARF animals have been in foster homes, where their behavior can be observed and assessed. Finally, if there is ever a problem with an adoption, an animal can and should always be returned to AARF, where it is assured a safe place. Kill shelters cannot do this.
