Our Pet List

The Adolescent & Animal Resource Fund (AARF REHAB) is a Non profit, 501c3, No-Kill ANIMAL Rehabilitation, Training and Adoption Sanctuary for all types of orphaned and injured animals. Our primary goal is to Afford youth-at-risk the opportunity to develop self worth, compassion, leadership skills, and to be responsible for the critical care of animals in the rehabilitation program The over all objective is to provide a productive life changing influence on struggling adolescents and to rehabilitate special rescued animals through the assistance of the community and volunteers. Our passion is to reach out in times of genuine need to the wounded hearts of youth at risk, orphans, struggling children, seniors, widows, families and animals that are victims of sudden crisis, tragedy, violence, loneliness, hardship and painful losses. Our goal is to help stop the suffering and to aid in their healing and restoration by providing support and encouragement through AARF’s Animal Rehab, gifts of benevolence, youth and family outings, music, creative arts, multi-media and literature resources with a healthy message for today’s struggles. Volunteer’s that are young, old, and even disabled rehabilitate over 150 homeless, nursing, orphaned and/or injured animals while building lasting relationships with youth at risk as they train them to be leaders that will continue to go to the aid of others with compassion and integrity. We strive to impart to the youth their great value, to know their purpose, to recognize their God given gifts, to strengthen their talents, to develop new skills and to make healthy choices and relationships. The AARF Rehab is located on a peaceful waterside 40 acre farm in North Carolina near I40 and I 95.

We had a poodle Named Sparky that waited every Wed. next to the AARF vehicle at 1:00 to go see his former owner who was sick and unable to care for him. How did Sparky know what day and time it was? I do not know but he counted on his walks and his trips to see his best friend. **** We can Genuinely need and appreciate your TAX DEDUCTABLE DONATIONS to help stop the suffering.
