FREE ADMISSION FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
We love volunteers! Even one hour a week will help make a difference in the life of a homeless animal.
Before beginning your volunteer journey at ARF, every volunteer is required to attend a brief orientation at the ARF Adoption Center, during which they will be introduced to ARF animals and staff members and given a brief training session on ARF rules and protocol. Volunteers must be 16 years old.
Please sign up for an orientation date using the link here.
