What people have asked about this business.

Hi, Can I view the Cats available online or in person when opened?

Adoptions are by appointment only, so you may view adoptable cats here: www.arflife.org/cats. There is also information about their current adoption process on their website here: https://arflife.org/adoption-process

Question on Google
What is going on......the same animals have been on the site now for months

ARF updates their site daily, but sadly there are several dogs who have been looking for homes for months. Often the new animals get adopted very quickly.

I’ve taken several classes at Joybound, and they’ve all been great learning opportunities. While the Reactive Dog classes have been my favorite, I’ve genuinely enjoyed every class I’ve taken. Shelley is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and creates such a safe, supportive environment for reactive dogs and their people to learn with positive reinforcement. I highly recommend Joybound’s training program!

Great experiences all around. About 5 years ago we adopted our sweet girl from ARF. The adoption specialist helped us find the perfect dog for our lifestyle and living situation. We couldn’t be happier with our girl. Fast forward 5 years and she developed uncontrollable glaucoma in one eye. After several vet visits, ophthalmologist visit, and several medications, it was determined the eye had to go. Sage quoted us $4500 and our vet quoted us $3000. Joybound saved us a couple thousand dollars. The care was extraordinary. From first visit to post-op check up, I was blown away by the vets, vet techs and office staff. I highly recommend. Such a wonderful resource to our community. Thank you!

Excellent staff that know how to bring the best out on your puppy and become a confident interactive friend of your dog! Excellent price for the experience!

Puppy class, basic training, and Canine Good Citizen courses were all excellent as long as you the primary pet care giver understands that all dog training is about training you how to train your dog with a little lesson practice before you leave to do it on your own inbetween classes.
