Mission

Anderson County Animal Rescue Foundation (AC ARF) is committed to promoting the welfare and humane treatment of animals in our community. We believe that companion animals are for life and deserve to live a healthy, happy life, and to be treated with respect and kindness. Through direct support, education/outreach programs and partnerships, we work to create a better, kinder world. This is a world where every animal lives out its life content and secure and a world where there are no more homeless pets. AC ARF serves its community with a variety of programs and services that improve the welfare of animals and their caretakers, and reduces animal overpopulation and the burden unwanted pets place on our municipal shelters and rescues.

For the Love of Pets

ACARF’s mission is to ensure all companion animals have a loving home and live a safe and happy life and to help reduce pet overpopulation. AC ARF is not only committed to helping animals and pet owners in need, but also bringing together our community of animal advocates to advance its collective outreach. AC ARF values the contributions pets make to the enrichment of humans, and believes in preserving and strengthening that special human-animal bond. Our For The Love Of Pets Program helps low income seniors in our county keep their companions fed, healthy and at home, providing no cost pet food/supplies and facilitating low/no cost veterinary care and supplies.

Population(s) Served

We provide supplies, guidance and assistance to caregivers undertaking the upkeep of stray or unwanted animals. Our Trap/Neuter/Return program ensures community cat populations are stabilized. No more kittens are born to face a difficult life, colonies eventually dwindle through attrition, and the community no longer faces the negative consequences of unaltered homeless cats.

Population(s) Served

Education plays a vital role in our mission. AC ARF serves as a resource for groups, schools and individuals, collaborating with those dedicated to responsible animal care by educating the public, young and old, on the need and importance of community involvement in animal welfare and rescue. Throughout the year we engage our community with new interactive learning experiences at events and in schools, helping folks better understand what pets need and deserve. We advance our collaborative outreach through our programs and events, bringing together rescues, shelters, animal-related services and the public to interact, share and learn about animal advocacy, and share our passion for companion animal welfare.
