The Animal Rescue Foundation (A.R.F.) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) no-kill humane society located in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Our dedicated team of volunteers is committed to rescuing, fostering, and caring for homeless dogs and orphaned cats until we can find them permanent homes. We promote spay and neuter programs to help reduce pet overpopulation and actively work with communities throughout Illinois to assist and educate the public on responsible pet ownership.

Adopting from Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF-IL)

Adoption process

For detailed information about our adoption process, please visit our website. Adoption fees vary based on the specific animal. You can find the adoption fee listed in the pet's biography. Here is a brief overview of the pet adoption process: First, complete the online adoption application. Next, our volunteers will review your application and contact you regarding its status. This may take up to five business days. If your application is approved, you will be invited to meet the cat or dog you are interested in at a mutually convenient time and location. We will explain the benefits of adopting through A.R.F., complete the necessary adoption paperwork, and collect the adoption fee. Your new pet will then become part of your family. Finally, you will need to complete any required follow-ups, such as obedience training or spay/neuter procedures, if these were delayed due to medical reasons.

Service area: We organize cat and dog adoption events mainly in DuPage County, Illinois, specifically in the cities of Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove, Darien, Lombard, and Naperville.
County: DuPage County
