A.R.F.-Animal Rescue Foundation is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3), no-kill humane society based in Wheaton, IL. Our volunteers are dedicated to rescuing, fostering, and rehoming dogs and cats. We promote spay/neuter programs to help reduce pet overpopulation and work within communities throughout Illinois to assist and educate the public about responsible pet ownership.
If you are looking to adopt a dog or cat, you’ve come to the right place! Rather than housing pets in one location, we have many cats and dogs in foster homes. We conduct adoption events primarily in DuPage County, IL, including Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove, Lisle, Darien, Lombard, and Naperville.
