Frequently Asked Questions
The backbone to our organization is our foster homes who have selflessly opened their homes and hearts to give a pet a temporary home until they find a forever home. We do not have our own facility so we rely on our foster homes to provide capacity for intake. Our most urgent need is for foster homes for large and adult dogs.
We are an all volunteer organization so it may take a few days to review your application and get back to you. If approved you will be contacted by our Foster Coordinator. Check your junk folders for messages from RescueGroups.org or fosteraarf@gmail.com
PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING:
Adopting your foster dog is discouraged in most cases...
Still, there are those dogs that just steal your heart from the beginning and you know it was just meant to be. Because this happens all too frequently, AARF has been forced to implement some guidelines on the adoption of dogs by their foster families.
Please bear in mind that adopting your foster does not mean you cannot continue to foster. Most of our volunteers and foster homes have a number of dogs and cats in their household.
AARF is a 501c3 charitable organization. Currently we are only registered to solicit for donations in Alaska. Your contribution is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. EIN: 45-4185334
