The Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) of Baldwin County, Georgia is a 501(c)3 tax exempt nonprofit organization that was founded in 1983 by Bobbie Thompson and a group of animal lovers who served on the first board of directors. For 32 years ARF, now a widely recognized pet adoption center and educational program provider, has been providing care for stray and abandoned cats and dogs in Baldwin County and surrounding areas. ARF was originally located in a trailer on Underwood Road and moved to its present location at 711 S. Wilkinson Street in 2004.

Animal Rescue Foundation places approximately 300 animals into forever homes each year. ARF is committed to finding homes for all adoptable pets. We do not euthanize adoptable animals, and there are no time limits for the animals once they are in our care. We only humanely euthanize those animals suffering from significant medical issues or that pose behavior concerns. We are proud to be a part of the solution to ending pet homelessness and overpopulation in Baldwin County and surrounding areas.
