Animal Rescue Foundation - ARF Ontario

Animal Rescue Foundation - ARF Ontario ARF Ontario is based in London Ontario, Canada. We volunteer to help find permanent loving homes for dogs. ARF is based in Ontario Canada.

We volunteer to help find permanent loving homes for dogs who are in crisis situations. We are 100% volunteer, not a registered charity, foster home based, do not have a shelter facility, and provide exceptional rehabilitation and adoption programs for all animals we welcome from the province. We also focus volunteer time and funds to assist in the coordination of accessible veterinary services fo

r general care/surgery and urgent medical needs from Indigenous Communities by request, and co-host vaccination and medical mobiles in Indigenous Communities across Ontario. ARF receives no government grants and we operate completely on donations from fellow animal lovers, monies raised through adoption fees and fundraising projects developed by our volunteers. The majority of our expenses go toward essential veterinary care, training and supplies for the animals we rescue. While all dogs require vaccinations, spay/neutering, de-worming, quality food & TLC, most of them do require more extensive veterinary procedures and consultations with trainers. ARF has an HONESTY POLICY: the full history, and all medical information, is given to the potential adopters before a decision to adopt has been made. We want families, and their new furry friends, to be happy and safe for life. Our VISION: To promote humane treatment, compassion, and respect toward all companion animals. Our GOALS: To implement accessible and affordable spay/neuter surgeries for adult companion animals and to reduce the overall number of strays needing to be rescued - To educate the public on the benefits of positive training techniques - To support Bite Prevention Campaigns, working toward reducing the number of dog bites in the community and helping to keep families and their companion animals safe.

Go Grandma Go!! We are honoured to have this ink dare launched to help two little souls who are not having an easy time of it. Both "Inky" and "Tattoo" are headed back to the veterinarian for more medication, so your sponsorship of a few dollars would be helpful (for the pups, AND for the toddlers "designing" the tattoos for the dare fundraiser, haha!)

Meows & Purrs Abound!!! 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛💖

On May 15th, ARF sponsored an in-community feline spay/neuter/vaccination program in partnership with The East Village Animal Hospital-MOBILE, for cat owners of Chippewa of the Thames First Nation.

Keeping loved pets with their families is a core belief of our ARFies, and we are proud to have had an integral role in this impactful veterinary care program. We have more "Return Loved Pets Home" programs continuing through May and June, and we would appreciate your support to keep it going!

You can sponsor this feline-friendly initiative by sending your e-transfer to: [email protected]

When it comes to loving animals, "ARF meows too"! 😊❤️🐾

Louie
4 month, male
Snuggly & Sweet Mix

Meet Louie, a snuggly/sweet mix with big puppy energy and an even bigger heart. At 35 pounds, he’s basically a growing baby moose who thinks his main job in life is being as close to his people as possible.

Louie loves walks with his foster sister, squeaky toys, stuffies, wrestling matches, and greeting every person and dog like they’re his long lost best friend. He’s super smart, already about 90% house trained, sleeps through the night, and is doing great with crate training. Honestly, he’s the kind of puppy who makes you say “okay fine, one more cuddle” about 47 times a day.

He’d love a home with another playful dog friend, a yard to zoom around in, and humans who appreciate a loyal little shadow. He’s good with kids, curious about cats, and brings the perfect mix of sweetness and goofy chaos wherever he goes.

If you’re looking for a best friend who will happily follow you from room to room and then immediately body slam another dog in the yard for fun, Louie might just be your guy.

Louie has been vaccinated, dewormed, micro-chipped and is on parasite preventative. His adoption fee is $600 with a $200 rebate after proof of my neuter (within contracted timeframe).

Harold
4 month, male
"If I fits, I sits" Mix

Meet Harold, with a heart that is somehow even bigger than his growing paws. This sweet boy came into care a little underweight, but he is already thriving and filling out with regular meals and lots of love. Despite his rough start, Harold has held onto the gentlest, most trusting nature, and he is quickly proving that he is equal parts resilient and ridiculously cuddly.

Harold is the kind of puppy who wants to be close to his person whenever possible. If you are sitting down, he believes your lap is his rightful spot and he will make his case very convincingly. He sleeps through the night in his crate, especially if it is nearby. He doesn’t love being left alone, and he may protest at first, but with patience and consistency he is learning that he is safe and secure (and is being very brave about it in the meantime).

In the home, Harold is doing great with house training as long as he gets regular chances to go outside and a few well earned treats for his efforts. He has good leash manners already and enjoys getting out to explore the world at a comfortable pace.

Harold currently lives with another dog and does well, happily taking cues and respecting boundaries. While they mostly coexist, it is clear Harold would love a playful companion to help him burn off some puppy energy and share in his growing confidence. His absolute favorite pastime is collecting every stuffed toy he can find and proudly relocating them to his bed like tiny treasures. Size does not matter. If it is soft, it is his.

With a medium energy level, Harold is a great balance of playful and relaxed. He enjoys bursts of fun followed by long stretches of lounging and cuddling. He would do well in a variety of homes, including one without a fenced yard, as long as his family is active and committed to giving him safe opportunities to explore.

If you can’t find Harold, don’t worry too much. He’s probably claimed a warm little patch of sunlight somewhere in the house, happily snoozing like it’s his full-time job.

The best thing about Harold is simple. He loves deeply and completely. He wants to be near you, curled up, content, and part of your world. If you are looking for a loyal little shadow who will grow into your best friend, Harold is ready to claim that role immediately.

Harold has been vaccinated, dewormed, micro-chipped and is on parasite preventative. His adoption fee is $600 with a $200 rebate after proof of my neuter (within contracted timeframe).
