Animal Adoption and Rescue in Winston-Salem
The Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation (AARF) exists to improve the lives of cats and dogs while strengthening the human-animal bond.
What Makes AARF Different
While many shelters provide a place to stay, we provide a path to a new life.
A No-Kill Promise
As a dedicated no-kill 501(c)3 organization, we are committed to the health and happiness of our animals. They stay with us in loving foster homes or at the AARF House until their perfect family is found.
Healing the Vulnerable
We specialize in rescuing animals that others may turn away. From complex medical needs to behavioral challenges, we invest the time and resources needed to give dogs and cats a second chance.
More than a Shelter
Through our network of professional veterinary partners and dedicated foster families, we improve the health of the local pet community, one rescue at a time.
