ARF Animal Rescue Friends of Idyllwild CA ARF is a non-profit 501(c)3 volunteer rescue for lost, abandoned, or unwanted pets. We are open on weekends and by appointment M through F.

We also offer vaccination clinics and nail trim clinics monthly. Welcome to ARF, the little rescue with the big heart. We are located in the mountain village of Idyllwild, CA where we have been serving the community since 1994. An all-volunteer, grassroots, non-profit organization, ARF’s mission is to rescue animals that have been abandoned, lost, or whose owners are no longer able to care for them. We provide foster care until forever homes are located. All our animals are spay/neutered, receive necessary shots and other veterinary care as needed. Each year, relying only on the generosity of donors and small grants, ARF helps an increasing number of dogs and cats, turning sad stories into happy tails. ARF has always worked to educate our population about the importance of responsible pet ownership, including the need for spay/neuter and heartworm disease prevention. WE ARE OPEN ON THE WEEKENDS but we also will meet individuals M-F by appointment. Please call and leave a message.

ASSISTED ADOPTION: CocoPuff is a 2-year-old Brown Tabby. She was rescued from a hoarding situation where she was one of three female cats having multiple litters and left to fend for themselves in the outdoors. Now she is spayed and vaccinated and enjoying life as an indoor cat. She gets along with the other cats in the household but does not do well around dogs. It is unknown if she is good with kids. CocoPuff loves to cuddle and get scratched behind her ears. She is learning how to play and has become young at heart!

We just know some of you are looking for a sweet dog who is a non-shedder, house trained, crate trained, likes other dogs, and will alert bark to give you a heads-up while at home? Dennis might be the dog to fill the role.
Weighing only 11 lbs, Dennis is a smart boy who will work his way into your heart, and we have learned that Dennis really prefers women, although he does eventually warm up to men. Please give ARF a call to set up a time to meet him.
