Who We Are

ARFhouse is a sanctuary for abandoned and abused dogs; we are their advocates, and if space is available, we accept any dog who doesn't have a home. At any time, we house and care for 350 dogs, which is what space allows.  We spay or neuter all the dogs who arrive, and provide them with medical attention they need.  The next step is re-homing the dogs, which takes time and effort.  Many dogs will stay at ARFhouse for life, but we want those who can find love and care in a home environment to have the best chance to do so.

Adopt a Dog

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.

Marnie, Matt & Mark (to the left) is one of our adoptable dogs awaiting their new home.   Visit our Available Dogs Page to meet all of  his friends.

Be-A-Pal

The Be-A-Pal Program lets you sponsor the dog of your choice at ARFhouse. The dogs in our "Be-A-Pal" program are a combination of dogs that may not be suitable for a family environment, have special health needs that require frequent attention, or are residents of our Senior Sanctuary. 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.

ale Elk naturally shed their antlers every winter, so no animal was harmed or disrupted in the  "making" of these dog chewz.

Marnie-Matt-Mark
The O.D. Mayor Foundation made a grant to erect these 4 new kennel areas where 6 dogs reside.  Everyone's snug in their igloos after the snow.

The Virginia & Robert Hobbs Charitable Trust provided the funds to erect the shade canopies over these 4 kennels as well as two others not pictured here.

We're grateful for these gifts which provide a better life for the dogs.
Marnie, Matt & Mark are
approx. 7 weeks old (as of April 7th)

Luis
FOUND

"Luis" was found on a busy highway in Dallas, Texas.  He is a young terrier/schnauzer mix.  The puzzle that cannot seem to be solved about him is this:  He has a tattoo, a microchip and has been neutered.

Unfortunately the information given to the microchip company was that "Luis" was a black lab belonging to a lady in Plano, Texas.
She has a female black lab, but her dog has a different microchip number.  We've made numerous calls to different agencies in the DFW area, but no one claims the chip.  We're still searching for "Luis'" guardian, but the "chain" seems to lead nowhere.

If you recognize this dog or know who owns him, please contact us right away.
