Thank you for making a difference and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

About the Animal Rescue Site:
The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — providing food for some of the 27 million unwanted animals given to shelters in the U.S. every year. Over 10 million animals are put to death every year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted.
Each click on the purple "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button at The Animal Rescue Site provides food and care for a rescued animal living in a shelter or sanctuary. Funding for food and care is paid by site sponsors and distributed to animals in need at The Fund for Animals' renowned animal sanctuaries, pet shelters supported by the Petfinder Foundation, North Shore Animal League, and other worthy animal care facilities supported by the GreaterGood.org foundation.
100% of sponsor advertising fees goes to our charitable partners.

Your pet is special—why not add a special touch to your favorite flowerbed, walkway or patio with a molded heart or paw print inscribed with your pet’s name? Or how about a short poem or beloved phrase using our “poetry stones”?
We now have wonderful “monogrammed” hearts, paw prints, and “poetry stones” to honor your pet whether your best friend is still with you or you wish to cherish a memory. Best of all, 100% of all proceeds go into special funds for animals with special medical needs or who need behavioral therapy.
The hearts measure 12” across - cost is $20.(see photo above)
The paw prints measure 9” across - cost is $8 with no inscription, $15 inscribed.(see photo above)
Each “poetry stone” can be inscribed with one word of any length for $4. Poetry stones containing only one or two letters, such as the words “am,” “I,” “or” and so on are free.
All orders must be pre-paid and please allow at least three weeks for orders to be completed. All orders must be picked up at the shelter. You will be notified when your order is ready.

Digest: Looking for a neat way to make a donation? Then consider sponsoring a cage for our rescued animals!
Find Out More +/-
Hover to Enlarge
Now you can sponsor a cage for our rescued dogs and cats for a three-month period for only $50! This is a great way to feel a more personal connection to the animals themselves, rather than making a conventional donation. All funds will go into our operating budget which pays for the cost of food, supplies, housing and health care. We will make up a nice sign with your name and sponsorship period and hang it on one of the cages you will be sponsoring. There may be one animal residing in that cage for the entire sponsorship quarter or several. This is due to adoptions or a need to switch animals from one cage to another. If you are interested in a longer sponsorship period, consider sponsoring one of our long-term special needs cats or just sign up for more than one quarter. Sponsorships also make great alternative gifts for the person who has everything! Please see our downloadable registration form for more details.
Please note: Many of our cats live in the "free-roaming" room and so do not have cages. In that case, the sponsor's name will be posted on a special sponsorship board in the shelter.
Please click here to download the adopt-a-cage form.
Aluminum Cans • ARF collects aluminum cans in an ongoing recycling program.
We have two collection bin locations:
Berea ARF Shelter (Behind the Red Shed / Next to the Cat Building) 390 Barrett Road (Within the City of Berea's Maintence Lot) Berea, Ohio 44017 440.234.2034
We're not only looking for aluminum can donations - but also volunteers to help transport them from the ARF Shelter to our local recycling center. Your efforts help raise thousands of dollars for the shelter annually!
