Rehoming your pet
If you are considering giving up your pet, please consider listing your pet on Adopt-a-Pet using Rehome. You'll be able to connect to potential adopters and receive guidance on how to screen applicants and place your pet into a new home.

Stray Pets
ARF does not provide Animal Control services and you are urged to contact your local municipal animal control services to report stray animals.
Many Good Samaritans find and want to help stray animals. Per state law, all animals must undergo a week long stray hold so that an owner can reclaim. If you find a stray animal we urge you to visit a vet clinic to have the pet scanned for a microchip, post online on NextDoor/social media and place physical flyers near where you found the pet.
If you find a stray pet and need help with basic supplies like a kennel, pet food, leash, etc. to facilitate you keeping the pet while you search for an owner, please email us at info@animalrescuemobile.org and we will assist when possible.
Our intake policies
ARF operates as a limited intake organization. We are a private shelter which relies on donations to support our activities (as compared to government run/funded animal shelter). We are an adoption guaranteed organization and we commit to caring for a pet until it finds an permanent home. Due to the variety of cases we help, some of our rescues have a longer path to be adoption ready then others. We are currently house our dogs exclusively in foster homes and our cats in our shelter and foster homes. For this reason, we do not have the capacity for immediate surrender of animals.
The majority of our rescues are animals that have served a stray hold at a municipal shelter and were not claimed by an owner. We also accept owner surrenders or strays (as explained above) as our resources allow.
When you submit an application for assistance, we'll work with our volunteers to try to find placement for your pet. If you have any friends or family members who can serve as a foster home, this will greatly help ARF's ability to help your pet. Please provide us as much information as possible as it helps us determine our ability to help. All surrenders to our program are subject to a basic behavioral exam by our team before we can commit to accepting your pet into our program. Please note ARF has a very limited ability to work with dog aggressive animals or animals with major behavioral needs. We can refer you to qualified training services in our community.
