ARF! The Animal Resource Facility
We are excited to share the future vision of animal welfare in Delaware County. The vision includes a public-priviate partnership to develop an animal-centric complex, appropriately named ARF (Animal Resource Facility), From adoption, veterinary care, training, boarding, or grooming, ARF represents a holistic approach to meeting the needs of the animal and its’ human family.
The building complex will be anchored by the 22,000 sq. ft. facility housing the Humane Society of Delaware County. Several private businesses will also be incorporated to provide a variety of services related to animal care, needs, and wellness. An ARF committee is being formed to help address a variety of activities that will need to be completed to bring this vision to reality.
If you would like to sign-up to help us build the future of animal welfare in Delaware County, please sign up here. We’d love to have you participate!
ANIMALS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
🐶 Urgent Plea for Help! 🐾
Our shelter is facing a situation that demands the immediate support of our wonderful community. We currently have a limited number of available kennels, and this week, we are expecting an influx of more dogs in need. However, our top priority is to provide these vulnerable puppies with a chance at a loving and nurturing environment, and for that, we desperately need foster homes.
By opening your hearts and homes to foster a puppy, you can be a lifeline for these innocent souls. Fostering not only saves lives but also helps create much-needed space to accommodate more dogs in distress. Together, we can make a difference and offer these puppies a safe haven as they await their forever families.
Please consider becoming a foster parent and joining our mission to rescue more dogs. Your generosity and compassion can be the key to saving precious lives. Contact us today to learn more about fostering and help us create a brighter future for these puppies in need. Your support means the world to us, and it's the love and care you provide that truly makes a difference. 🙏🏡🐕 #FosterForHope #SaveOurShelterDogs
