About Us
Berea Animal Rescue Friends (ARF) is a no-time-limit animal shelter that rescues stray and homeless companion animals, provides medical care, spay/neuter, vaccinations and housing, and prepares animals for adoption into loving homes. We have a small staff, but we’re operated largely through our exceptional, devoted team of 300-plus volunteers, who work 365 days a year to care for our animals.
Prior to adoption, all animals are provided with basic veterinary examinations, age-appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, are tested for disease and microchipped. Berea ARF places about 1,000 companion animals into their forever homes each year.
As a 501c(3)organization, Berea ARF is funded exclusively through contributions from our supporters and revenues generated through adoptions and fundraising events. ARF receives no regular government funding and relies solely on donations by its generous supporters.
