Cat AdoptionAt AARF, we work to save as many pets as we can through our cat adoption rooms at AARF Pet Central and foster homes.
Community ProgramsOur community programs include low-cost vaccine clinics, spay/neuter assistance and the AARF Community Pet Food Bank.
AARF Pet CentralIn 2011, we opened AARF Pet Central, a pet supply store where all of the profits support our programs.

About
At Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends, our mission is to create a community where every pet matters. We work tirelessly to rescue and care for homeless, abused, and neglected animals in our community and to help pets stay with the families who love them. Click here to learn more about our efforts to make a difference in the lives of animals in need.
Our approach to animal rescue is simple: we are trying to create a community where every pet matters. We work hard to provide our cats and dogs with the medical care, nutrition, and socialization they need to become happy and healthy pets. Click here to meet our adoptable pets.
We also offer community programs to help pets stay with the families that love them, including our Community Pet Food Pantry, wellness clinics and an active community TNR program. Click here to learn more about our community programs.
At Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends, we are passionate about animals and committed to making a difference in the lives of pets in need. Our organization was founded by a group of dedicated animal lovers who saw a need for more compassionate animal rescue in our community.
