Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) of Bartlesville
Our Mission
The Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) of Bartlesville is dedicated to helping animals in need by providing compassionate care, promoting adoption, and educating our community on animal welfare. We are here to ensure that every rescued animal finds a safe, loving, and permanent forever home.
Our Journey
Founded in 1999, ARF began with two individuals who shared a dream of rescuing abandoned animals. What started with limited resources and local partnerships has blossomed into a reality fueled by our board, a village of dedicated volunteers, and generous supporters.
How We Care
Our rescue efforts have grown significantly, and we are proud to operate a dedicated 8,000 square foot facility on 18 acres, serving as a sanctuary for an average of 60 to 70 dogs, cats, and kittens. While we maintain this safe haven for those waiting for their families, we also rely on our wonderful volunteer team to provide daily care, socialization, and maintenance. As a non-profit organization, we operate entirely through private donations, ensuring that those rescued who may never be adopted can still live out a happy life with food, shelter, and plenty of love.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we strive to make the best selection for both the pet and the lifestyle of the potential adopter. We carefully review every application to ensure our rescues are placed in the perfect home, creating lasting connections that stand the test of time. Our adoption process is designed to be transparent, ensuring that every pet and family is set up for long-term success.
