Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends (AARF) in Atlanta, GA

Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends (AARF) is a rescue organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, located in Fulton County, about 8 miles southeast of the city, alongside 11 other animal shelters and rescues in the county. For almost 15 years, AARF has worked to end pet overpopulation and create a world where every pet matters, helping homeless pets find homes and supporting families in keeping their pets for life. The organization relies on volunteers who transport dogs, socialize cats, and assist at adoption events, and it hosts community events like the Stone Mountain Village Pet Fest and AARFStravaganza, its biggest annual fundraiser.
