Animal Rescue Foundation of Louisiana is ... Matching Pets with People The mission of Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc of Louisiana is to provide veterinary care, shelter, and adoption services for stray, abandoned, and surrendered companion animals to the general public. All animals are fully vetted and temperament tested before adoption. We have two ARFanages and a network of foster homes where our pets are housed until they find their new homes. How We are Funded ARF-LA's income is derived through fundraisers, donations, and adoption fees. It is an expensive and labor-intensive endeavor, but the emotional satisfaction of seeing life change not only for a dog, but also for a family, a widow, a widower, or a single parent with children is VERY rewarding. We cannot survive without donations from you. For those that are not able to help with fostering or hands on, but you still want to make a difference in saving the life’s of homeless pets, this is it. A donation of any size is greatly appreciated. Donations can be made by mailing mail a check to us or with Pay Pal by going to our ARF-LA website and clicking on the Pay Pal button. Please visit our contact page for our mailing address. How We Get Animals We accept animals from individuals who are unable to keep their pets. We pick up abandoned animals.
