Our Mission

A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3), no-kill humane society based in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Our family of volunteers is dedicated to rescuing, fostering, and caring for homeless dogs and orphan cats while we find them their forever homes. We promote spay/neuter programs to help reduce pet overpopulation and work within communities throughout Illinois to assist and educate the public about responsible pet ownership. You can learn more about us on our website at https://www.arf-il.org/ or keep in touch through social media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/A.R.F.Illinois Twitter: https://twitter.com/ARF_Rescue_IL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arf_animal_rescue_il/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChannelARF.

Adoption Process

Read more about our adoption process on our website at: https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/

Adoption fees depend on the animal. Please see the pet’s biography for information on their adoption fee.

Below is an overview of what you can expect during the pet adoption process:

Step 1: Submit an online adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/

Step 2: Our volunteers will review your application and reach out with a status. This step can take up to five business days.

Step 3: If your application is approved you will be invited to meet with the cat or dog you are interested in at a mutually agreed upon time and location.

Step 4: We’ll walk you through the benefits of adopting through A.R.F., then complete the adoption paperwork and collect the adoption fee. Then your new best friend is yours!

Step 5: Complete required follow-ups such as obedience training or spay/neuter (if delayed due to medical reasons).
