ARF saves dogs and cats who have run out of time at public shelters and brings people and animals together to enrich each others lives. ARF strives to create a world where every loving dog and cat has a home, where every lonely person has a companion animal, and where children learn to care.

ARF's 37,700-square-foot headquarters in Walnut Creek opened in June 2003 and has become a community center where we are able to rescue, treat and adopt more animals who would otherwise have been put to death. Dogs and cats live in cozy, glass-enclosed "condos," where they are free to frolic with each other and meet potential adopters in the Maddie's Animal Care Center. The Dog Training Pavilion is the home of ARF U and the site for training classes at all levels open to ARF adopters and the public.

Tips

There are many "people programs"at ARF. For example, the Learning Center is the first interactive museum ever connected to a private animal adoption center. Through hands on directed play, children learn how to care for animals.

ARF offers many opportunities for children and family to volunteer together.

Contact the Resource & Referral Center for tips on responsible pet guardianship, free advice and resources regarding pet behavior issues, and referrals to local community resources for dog training, feral cat management, breed rescue and other issues. You may call the center at (925) 256-1ARF (256-1273).
