Mission Statement and Adoption Process

 

 

 

Annie's Rescued Friends, Inc is an organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless cocker spaniels. We will also accept other select breeds of dogs when our space permits us to do so. Our rescued dogs are fully vetted, including spay/neuter, vaccinations, fecal, and heartworm testing. Any other medical needs are addressed and taken care of prior to adoption. Our goal it to adopt out healthy, happy, well-socialized dogs to become lifetime members of your family. Our adoption process starts with filling out an online adoption application. Members of ARF, Inc. will review applications on a regular basis and contact you by email. We try very hard to match the right dog with the right home. Once an application has been approved and the applicant's vet references checked, we will arrange a home visit with you and bring the dog you are interested in to see if the chemistry is right between the dog and your family. We encourage all four legged members of your family to be present during a home visit!

The final stage is the signing of the adoption contract. At this time, we require a $250.00 donation to help us offset the enormous expenses in taking care of all our dogs. We will be available after the adoption to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Our policy is to stand behind our dogs and their families for life.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Prayer for the Animals
 

Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends,
the animals, especially for animals who are
suffering; for any that are lost or deserted
or frightened or hungry. We entreat for them
all Thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal
with them we ask a heart of compassion and
gentle hands and kindly words. Make us,
ourselves, to be true friends to animals and
so to share the blessings of the merciful.
