Would you like to be part of the heroic team that saves the lives of rescued dogs and cats? Can you share your talents to connect people and animals? ARF volunteers are making a difference! For more information see our website, www.arflife.org, or call (925) 256-1ARF. 

Three-year-old Yukon is a spunky, energetic lad who’s a bundle of fun! Between going on long walks, running around at the park, playing with toys, and exploring new places, this is a guy who prefers to be in motion as often as possible – though he certainly wouldn’t mind a few pets and belly rubs at the end of a long and fun-filled day! 

The adoption fee for puppies (<6 months) is $350, for adult dogs is $250, and senior dogs (7+ years) and special needs dogs are 50% off the adoption fee. 


Nine-year-old Dianthus is sweet girl who has lots of love to give. This lovely gal has had a rough time in her life and is ready for her happily ever after. She would do well in any home where she can be showered with attention and affection by all members of the family. Dianthus has chronic kidney disease. She is eating a special diet and may need regular subcutaneous fluids. 

The adoption fee for kittens (<6 months) is $150, for adult cats is $100, $25 off each for multiple cats/kittens, and senior cats (7+ years) and special needs cats are 50% off the adoption fee.
