Animal Rescue Fund of MS (ARF)

Animal Rescue Fund of MS (ARF) Mississippi's largest no-kill rescue organization At ARF of MS our rescued pets stay as long as they need to in order to find a forever home. What can you do?

During their stay we look to serving the whole animal with attention to their comprehensive care and medical needs as well as social skills building. The shelter is typically home to over 75 cats and 300 dogs at any given time. We provide the residents a safe and happy environment while they await adoption. Dogs are exercised regularly and volunteers spend time with them at play in the exercise

yards while cats enjoy large whimsical “free –roaming” rooms with habitat to encourage exercise and exploration. All are given loving care and attention by staff and volunteers. Once rehabilitated and ready, they are carefully matched with prospective adopters and placed in loving homes. Like people, animals have distinct personalities and patterns, we at ARF of MS work to perfectly match the right animal with the family, ensuring a long lasting relationship. Adopt from us when you’re looking for a new pet and support our no-kill model with a donation today.

Happy National Cat Day! If you are looking to add to your family, please consider one of our many deserving cats.

ADOPTED!
Our Blanche was at CelticFest Mississippi last weekend and found her family. She went home this past week and is happy as a bug in a rug!
Adopted is the sweetest word ever.

We at ARF have the most adorable family looking for a foster. They already have placement waiting for them, so they are not available for adoption, but what they do need is someone who can give them love, cuddles, and care.
We provide the food, medical care and supplies.
these puppies are about 4 weeks old and learning about food, but not quite there.
If you are interested in joining our team, please message us on this page and we will talk to you about fostering.

So yesterday was an adventure. We received a call from the Community Work Center, where our inmates live, stating that there was an injured kitten running around the parking lot and could we come assist.
Peggy rushed out there and then the fun began. The kitten ran under the car of one of the employees out there and got up in the motor. The car was low to the ground and the motor had one of those covers that you could not reach down from above to retrieve the kitten (who was spicy btw).
There was nothing to be done but jack the car up, remove the wheel and go after the kitten from that direction.
Locating a jack was the new issue, and the employee ended up calling her husband to come with his jack. The car got jacked up and then they were able to grab a rightfully angry kitten.
He/she had it's tail jerked off, probably by a fan belt and when the tail was jerked off, a good bit of skin was as well. Because the injury was so extreme, we were unable to determine it's sex, we will find that out later.
The kitten is at Animal Medical Center (601)354-3622 and could use some financial support on it's care.
There are several ways to donate; By calling the vet directly and asking to pay for the injured kitten under ARF at (601)354-3622, by paypal - [email protected] or by USPS: ARF of MS 1317 Greymont Avenue Jackson MS 39202. Or by clicking the blue button on this post.
We thank you for your support and help, we could not do this work without you.

There is nothing sadder than late season kittens and puppies. They are usually the ones that the mamas cannot take care of. They get separated or lost. This little girl was just dropped off at the shelter. She was found alone wandering around someone's yard. She looks to be about 3 to 4 weeks old. She will drink from a bottle but needs to be starting on wet food. We are looking for someone to foster her for about 2 to 3 weeks. Please contact Peggy at 601-259-9625 if you would like to help this sweet baby.

Why rescue? Ask Scotty. The first photo is from August 13th. The second photo is yesterday. Dr Majure and his staff at AMC did an amazing job helping this little boy. Without rescue Scotty would not have made it. At best he would have lived as a blind stray. But he has full sight in one eye and partial sight in the other. This is what your donations accomplish. Scotty was hospitalized for 57 days. He now has a chance at a life and hopefully a home. This was all due to you, our supporters. Scotty's is just one of the many stories thar come through our doors. We are so grateful to you for helping us help them.

As some of you know, we have female inmates who work for us and help take care of the animals. These women do an amazing job and love their work.
When they have birthdays or work anniversary dates, we give them a little celebration.
Today, one of our inmates had her two year anniversary working here, so we had an ice cream party for everyone.
Moose, Peggy's office dog, joined us, he does love an ice cream cone.
