Web Image: Pawprint Red Matching Pets with People   Animal Rescue Foundation of Louisiana's (ARF-LA) mission is to provide care, shelter and medical attention for stray, abandoned and unwanted dogs, and then place them in loving homes through our adoption process. 

All animals are fully vetted and temperament tested before adoption.  We have one main ARFanage kennel and a network of foster homes where our pets are housed until they find their new homes.  

Web Image: Pawprint Red How We are Funded Web Image: Dog with Donation Jar ARF-LA's funding is derived through fundraisers, donations, and adoption fees.  It is a costly and labor-intensive endeavor, but the emotional satisfaction of seeing life change not only for a dog, but also for a family, a widow, a widower, or a single parent with children is VERY rewarding.

We cannot survive without donations from you. For those that are not able to help with fostering or hands on, but you still want to make a difference in saving the life of homeless pets, this is it.  A donation of any size is greatly appreciated.  Donations can be made with PayPal by clicking on the PayPal button below, or you can mail a check to us. Please visit our contact page for our mailing address.

Web Image: Pawprint Red How We Get Animals  We pick up abandoned animals.  We rescue dogs from our local high kill shelters or pounds.  We accept animals from individuals who are unable to keep their pets.  We agree to take litters only if the owners agree to let us help them get their female spayed.
