About Us
Animal Rescue Foundation, also known as ARF, is a beacon of hope for animals in Beacon, NY, and beyond. Founded by Barbara Shea in 1986, this volunteer-driven, no-kill animal rescue and shelter has been tirelessly dedicated to the welfare of cats and dogs in need.
ARF’s mission is clear: to help lost, unwanted, abused, and abandoned cats, dogs, kittens and puppies, providing them with the care, compassion, and second chances they deserve. Through a combination of rescue efforts, rehabilitation programs, and sheltering services, ARF works tirelessly to ensure that every animal that comes through its doors is given the opportunity to find a loving forever home. And for those animals that face challenges, ARF goes above and beyond by offering permanent homes and ongoing care, ensuring that even the hardest-to-place animals can live out their lives in safety, comfort, and dignity.
