Alaska Animal Rescue Friends AARF

We adopted our sweet pup from AARF 9 months ago and are so happy we did. We went to meet another dog, but he got adopted before we had a chance to meet him. We talked with the volunteers about our family (elderly dog, 1 cat, 3 kids,) and what we were looking for in a new dog that would be a good fit. Right away they told us a couple of the dogs we mentioned were not good with cats. They were all friendly and very helpful in deciding which dogs would be good with our family. We were able to meet, love on, and do a short walk with 3 of the dogs. They were all so sweet and I hope the other two found great families by now, but our boy just seemed like he picked us. He's been a great addition to our family and we wouldn't have found him without AARF.

The folks at AARF are amazing. We’ve adopted two puppies from them in the last two years. The puppies up for adoption are well socialized which makes it easier for adoptive parents with children or other pets. The volunteers/foster parents provide background information on the pets and are knowledgeable about the pets habits, dispositions, etc. Their love of animals is clear. Thank you, AARF!

AARF dogs are lucky to have these volunteers rooting for them and working hard to find them the right furever homes! The adoption application is intensive but I think the ones truly looking for a best bud will do it! Tip: submit application early and have it approved and when you find a buddy you like, it'll be so much smoother and quicker! Bev & Sara were super accommodating to meet with us, thank you ladies!

We had a puppy in mind that we were interested and wrote to AARF about her. They responded saying that puppy was spoken for already, but encouraged us to fill out an application and come to an adoption event to see the other puppies. Once there, the foster parents of the puppies were around to talk about each puppy. We fell in love with one and the rest is history! They did a home check to make sure the puppy was going to a safe place. They care a lot about their dogs and we had a great experience. Now I have THE best dog I could’ve possibly asked for. Very thankful for AARF.

Absolutely love this place! They bring in puppies and dogs that need a forever home! I have fostered and adopted dogs and pups from this establishment. They are so knowledgeable and make sure that you are a good fit before placing the dogs or pups into a home. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to adopt a pup!
