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.

ADOPTABLE CATS & DOGS

LIABILITY AND LOOSE DOGS (PETS)
We frequently get calls for dogs wandering about our communities, often on our busy highways. When contacted, the dog’s guardian many times tells us that a) the dogs always comes home and/or b) the dog doesn’t bother anyone. What the guardian needs to know is his loose dog is a serious liability. The dog may easily cause a traffic collision in addition to possibly biting/injuring a person or another animal.

In California, in accidents involving pet or livestock, the State usually finds the owners liable for failing to adequately leash, enclose, or otherwise restrain their animals. The pet or livestock owner is personally liable to pay for injuries and damages (unless his/her homeowner’s insurance will
​cover the damage costs).
