4worldlovers:
We're the open-admission animal services agency for the unincorporated areas of San Diego County. We exist to protect the health, safety, and welfare of people and animals. We take in nearly 10,000 lost, homeless, and abandoned animals each year and we need your help to save lives!


Always keep your dog's license up-to-date. One day, it might save its life.


We care for nearly 10,000 cats, dogs, livestock and exotic animals each year that are lost, abandoned or neglected. Our dedicated and compassionate volunteers are essential to this mission.

We do all we can to help end the suffering of lost and/or abandoned pets in San Diego County.

ARRF (Animal Rescue Resource Foundation) is an organization with years of combined experience in rescue, spay/neuter and support of people who are helping domestic pets find a better life. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to assist the rescue community, educate the public, and support low cost spay/neuter efforts.

ARRF supports a variety of efforts to protect and defend our furry friends and our goal is to provide connections and solutions for pets and the people that work with them. Our commitment is to find the need and fill it with our “grassroots” approach at getting pets, products and people supported.

We have an Adoption Application, contract, fee, and a process to find the very best match between a pet and its adopter. We interview all potential adopters to ensure the perfect match for all of our rescue animals. We want both you and our adoptable pets to be happy with the match.

We do not have a shelter location. All pets are in foster care.

Each day Animal Rescue Resource Foundation (ARRF) provides care, compassion and adoption services to animals in need through our service programs.

We are dedicated to providing information regarding pet health and animal welfare topics including spay and neuter, dog training, animal adoption and rescue resources.
