WELCOME! to the ARF House, the little rescue with the big heart, home of love and second chances.
We are located in the mountain village of Idyllwild, CA where we have been serving the community since 1994. A 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. 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. In 2016 we adopted out 31 dogs and 38 cats. We've also assisted with nearly 60 Lost/Found dogs and cats helping them to find their way back home.
ARF works to educate our population about the importance of responsible pet ownership, including the need for spay/neuter and heart worm disease prevention.
Please won’t you join us in our efforts to improve the welfare of our loyal companions? Spend a little time to look around our website, visit the dogs and cats available for adoption, and find out how you can become involved. It has been said that a society is judged by how it treats the "least" of its members. They bring so much joy while asking so little in return. They depend on us…on you.

BEER FEST 2020 Cancelled
I cannot believe I am writing this. You might remember that Idyllwild Animal Rescue Friends (ARF) had to cancel its annual craft beer festival Paws for Rhythm and Brews last year because roads to our mountain community had been either totally wiped out or compromised. We were very excited about coming back in an epic fashion for this year’s festival on June 6. Sadly, we have come to terms with the realization that because of the COVID 19 pandemic, this year’s festival must also be canceled.
Even if a miracle were to happen and things were back to normal by early June, the odds that the economy could afford this event are slim to none. We are so very saddened by this as this event has been ARF’s main fund raiser which helps to keep our doors open. Once this country (and world) has recovered sufficiently, we hope to hold some other smaller fund raiser to keep us up-n-running. But regardless, we plan on trying once again in June of 2021.
