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.

Consider giving a home to one of these deserving animals.

Jeter, 13-years-old

Jeter is the sweetest boy who got a second chance at life. He came to ARF when his owner could no longer care for him. He was in rough shape when he came in, but we could see he had a lot of love to give and a lot of life to live! Our medical team sprang into action and got this boy feeling better. Jeter requires daily medications for his enlarged liver, dry eye, osteoarthritis and heart murmur. He has shown great progress on these medications but will need to receive routine veterinary care to ensure his medications are doing their jobs. He now spends his days in our administration offices, making sure our team is doing their jobs, and most importantly, giving him treats. Jeter has a heart of gold and occasionally gets mini zoomies. He loves his tennis ball and does his best to play the world’s slowest game of fetch. If you’re looking for an easy-going buddy to nap the day away with you, Jeter is your boy!

Fritz, 7-years-old

Emaciated and afraid, 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.)
