The Kit Kat Fund
The Kit Kat Fund was established to honor the beloved Miniature Schnauzer of Gordon H. Hoppe and Michael Dehn Breault.
Kit Kat, a retired show dog, was instrumental in helping her companion Sophie, an ARF rescue who lived life as puppy mill breeder, adjust to life outside of that cruel environment. Kit Kat tragically died too soon, and the Kit Kat Fund was established not only to encourage and support puppy mill survivors and those who care for them, but also to support senior and medically complex animals who often face similar challenges and encourage adoption of these wonderful companions through financial support.
Please consider a donation in honor of Kit Kat and in honor of all those like her, that remind us that dogs and cats can sometimes be the best therapy for one another.
Kit Kat Fund Recipients Available for Adoption
Consider giving a home to one of these deserving animals.
Daisy, 7-years-old
Daisy has loads of love to give! She recently came to ARF as a surrender, and is now looking for a new place to call home. Daisy is very affectionate and loves to give kisses. She is also smart as a whip and is eager to learn more. Daisy does have some anxiety, so she takes her time getting comfortable with new people, but once she knows you’re her friend, she’s a big mush! Due to her anxiety, a calm home with children over the age of 12 is recommended. Daisy doesn’t always want a canine companion around, so a thorough meet and greet is a must. If you’re looking for a best friend in a dog, look no further; Daisy is your girl! Fill out an application to meet Daisy.
Pablo, 10-years-old
Pablo is an adorable cat with a lot of character! He came to ARF after his owner could no longer care for him. He very quickly became a staff favorite with his adorable meows and demands for belly rubs. Upon his arrival, we noticed Pablo had some missing fur and itchy spots. Our medical team jumped in and found that he suffered from allergies. They have placed Pablo on the proper diet and medication and he is now thriving! Stop in and meet Pablo, it won’t take but a minute for you to fall in love! Fill out an application to meet Pablo.
Scooby, 5-year-old
ARF’s house hippo Scooby is the life of the party! Scooby was found as a local stray and then found his way to ARF when nobody claimed him. He has quickly won the hearts of staff and is now ready for his very own home. This gorgeous boy with his white socks loves everyone he meets, though due to his exuberant personality, he should live in a home with children over the age of eight. He wouldn’t mind a canine sibling, but they should be of the same size and energy. Scooby does have some allergies to lamb and milk, and he needs to live in a feline free home as he is highly allergic to cats too! to It won’t take long for you to fall in love with Scooby, why not stop in and meet him today! Fill out an application to meet Scooby.
Tank, 12-years-old
Tank is an adorable orange boy ready to bring sunshine into your home! He originally came to ARF as a dapper young feline, but was returned when his family could no longer care for him. Tank may be on the older side, but he is full of life! He does not get along with dogs, and may be best as an only pet as he is selective with his feline friends. Tank is known for following staff around, wondering our kitchens, and making sure we are on top of feedings. Tank has hyperthyroidism, but has responded beautifully to treatment. He only requires one medication and he takes it with no hesitations. Whether you’re looking for a snuggle buddy to lounge the day away, or a best friend to play with, Tank is sure to fit right into any home. Fill out an application to meet Tank.
Fritz, 8-years-old
Fritz came to ARF from a local animal control office needing help and some TLC. This gorgeous German Shepherd is very intelligent and loves to show off his obedience commands. Grab a soccer ball or a toy and this boy is ready to play! A few long walks and lots of treats is all it would take to make him your loyal and loving companion. Fritz wants to be your one and only pet, and he has plenty of love to go around. Fill out an application to meet Fritz. (Photo by Mark Kopko Photography.)
