ARF IS COMMITTED TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF STRAY ANIMALS FOR AN UNLIMITED PERIOD OF TIME, AS WELL AS CARING FOR AND NURTURING THEM UNTIL AN APPROPRIATE MATCH CAN BE MADE INTO AN ADOPTIVE HOME.

Program accomplishments
- 2025 PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS: ANGELS FOR ANIMALS IS A PROGRAM BEREA ARF ESTABLISHED IN 2006, WHICH IS A FUND THAT ALLOWS US TO FINANCE THE EMERGENCY AND SPECIAL MEDICAL NEEDS OF ANIMALS THAT ARRIVE TO US REQUIRING SPECIAL AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. THIS FUND ALLOWS US TO CARE FOR THESE ANIMALS WITHOUT INTERRUPTING DAILY SHELTER OPERATIONS. OUNDER THE WING PROGRAM ALLOWS PEOPLE TO ACCESS TEMPORARY FOSTER CARE FOR THEIR PETS DURING TIMES OF CRISIS WHERE THE ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE SURRENDERING. THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS THE PERSON TO HEAL FROM ILLNESS, TRANSITION INTO STABLE HOUSING, OR OTHERWISE GET BACK ON THEIR FEET WITHOUT THE STRESS OF WORRYING ABOUT THEIR PET. THIS PROGRAM HELPS KEEP PETS WITH THEIR HUMANS AND OUT OF SHELTERS. OTHE PRISON FOSTER PROGRAM BENEFITS HUMAN INMATES, AS WELL AS OUR SHELTER DOGS. AFTER AN INMATE COMPLETES A DOG TRAINING PROGRAM, THEY ARE THEN PLACED WITH ONE OF OUR SHELTER DOGS. WHILE IN THE INMATES' CARE, THE DOGS COMPLETE BEHAVIORAL TRAINING, WHICH MAKES THEM HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BY POTENTIAL ADOPTERS, AND THE INMATE LEARNS RESPONSIBILITY AND HAS A SENSE OF PURPOSE WHILE INCARCERATED. BEREA ARF PARTNERS WITH GRAFTON CORRECTIONAL AND LORAIN CORRECTIONAL. OASSISTED LIVING VISITATION PROGRAM ALLOWS OUR SHELTER DOGS TO VISIT SENIORS AT LOCAL ASSISTED LIVING FACULTIES. WE ALL KNOW THERE ARE HEALTH BENEFITS TO HAVING A PET, AND WHILE FOLKS IN MANY ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES ARE NOT PERMITTED PETS, SPENDING TIME EVERY WEEK WITH OUR SHELTER DOGS IS A GOOD OPTION FOR OUR LOCAL SENIORS. OBEREA ARF PROVIDES ANIMAL CPR AND FIRST AID COURSES TAUGHT BY A CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR. THESE CLASSES TEACH PET PARENTS HOW TO HANDLE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, SUCH AS WOUNDS, HEAT STROKE EVENTS, AND CHOKING. KNOWING THESE BASIC SKILLS CAN SAVE YOUR PET'S LIFE.Expenses $804,200 · revenue $282,994
