Because of ARF's limited staffing we can not be open as much as we would like to be, ARF is currently open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1PM to 5PM and Saturday from Noon-3PM.  We also can arrange adoption by appointment.

The Animal Rescue Fund is a local orginazation with no ties to any national orginazation.  ARF recieves 100% of its funding through public donations and grants.  ARF recieves no government funding.  If you would like to make an unrestriced monetary donation to ARF please e-mail, info@munciearf.com for further information.

Unfortunately at this time ARF has no legal authority.   If you witness animal abuse please contact your local law enforcement agency immediately.

When an animal arives at ARF a committment is made to the animal, a committment to end suffering, and a promise of a life filled with love.  We do not put an expiration date on any animal that walks through our doors, animals are able to stay as long as it takes to find them a home, and in some cases ARF acts as a sanctuary and becomes the animals forever home.

If you have found a stray animal ARF would strongly reccommend taking this animal to your closest local veterinarians office and have the animal scanned for a microchip, this is a free service, and the ultimate goal is to unite the animal with its rightful owner.  If the animal does not have a microchip and you would like to bring the animal to ARF please call ARF in advance and make an appointment to bring the animal to our facility.

There are many ways individuals from all backgrounds can help ARF carry out its mission.  You can donate, volunteer, save aluminum cans, or adopt.  For more ways to help ARF visit our, "Giving to ARF," page.

If you are in the unfortunate situation where you are no longer able to keep your family pet and would like to surrender your pet to ARF it is important that you call ARF in advance to make an appointment to meet with the staff and volunteers at ARF before bringing your pet in to be placed in our adoption program.
