Min Pin/Chi mix Hi my name is Rhonda. My family let my mom have puppies and then decided they didn't want any of us anymore. Thankfully, that's when the nice gals at ARFhouse took us in. I am fully vetted and 6 months old. I get along with other dogs, but need a home with no cats and no kids under the age of 10yrs old. I would like a nice yard to run and play in. I'm very sweet and love people. If you think I would make a nice addition to your family, please email or call ARFhouse. martha@arfhouse.org 903.564.7056

ARFhouse is now the third largest care-for-life, no-kill canine sanctuary in the U.S. with over 340+ dogs on site. ARFhouse provides refuge and care for unwanted, abused, and/or physically challenged canines without regard to size, breed, temperament, age or physical disabilities. Many of the dogs are free to roam the 25 acre property and swim in one of the three ponds. The unsocialized dogs have large 30' by 60' yards with their own dog houses, and if possible, an animal companion with which they can get along.
Another day at ARFhouse! Not only do we see that the dogs are healthy, and well-cared for, but it's also important to us that the animal be happy. The animals aren't in small cages or confined to small areas. And there's always something to keep the interest of the ARFhouse canines, whether it be "helping" ARFhouse volunteers do chores, chasing wildlife, swimming in the ponds, or socializing with the other dogs.
The ARFhouse Adoption Program allows some of the ARFhouse animals to be available for adoption to suitable owners. Since those animals which are not adopted will stay at ARFhouse for life, ARFhouse works hard at insuring that a prospective owner has the level of commitment necessary to properly care for a dog.
The Be-A-Pal Program lets you sponsor the dog of your choice at ARFhouse. These are dogs that may not be suitable for a family environment or have special health needs that require frequent attention. For $20 a month we will send you periodic photos of the dog you choose to sponsor. Through your support and ARFhouse's caring volunteers, these dogs are given a second chance at a good life.
For more information on these programs, please email martha@arfhouse.org
A SPECIAL THANK YOU goes out to Mutt Hutt on Grand Avenue in
downtown Chicago. These great folks allow our affiliate, ARFhouse
Chicago to bring rescued dogs from Texas to their facility while awaiting adoption.
Recently we had 27 dogs transported by ARFhouse Chicago, and most were boarded at Mutt
Hutt. This gives our dogs a place and time to find the perfect homes. It wouldn't be
possible without Mutt Hutt.

Check out the new book by Lucille Callard...."AstroPups", listed on
Amazon.com. Lucille is going to make a donation to
ARFhouse with each sale of this book. But that's not the only reason
we mention it.
The author has written this book to help people choose a dog they will keep for its entire lifespan. Astrological personality profiles of people are matched with breed traits and temperaments of over 80 dogs. The purpose is to help people read about themselves as dog owners, and learn about the breeds suggested for them before they choose a dog. It's not only a fun read, but quite interesting.
