Berea ARF is a no-time-limit animal rescue providing shelter, love and care for stray and homeless animals for as long as it takes to place them into forever homes.
We receive no federal or municipal funding; we’re supported solely through adoptions, fundraisers and donations from generous supporters.
ARF is currently offering open hours Tuesday-Friday from 3:30-6:30 pm and Saturdays & Sundays 1-4pm.
We are still conducting adoptions for cats by appointment during non-open hours. To schedule an appointment to visit a cat, please contact arfcats@bereaanimalrescue.com.
As an adopter of a rescue pet from ARF, you’re giving a homeless animal the second chance at happiness they deserve.

ARF is committed to helping families and pets stay together, and we wholeheartedly believe that no family or individual should feel the need to surrender their pet because of temporary financial hardship.
Our Pet Pantry is here to support members of our surrounding communities who need assistance in providing food for their pets. As our supplies of donated food allow, we offer wet and dry dog food and cat food on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month to families in need. More details.
Several styles of Berea ARF t-shirts and sweatshirts are now available for purchase online. Through a partnership with online retailer Bonfire, several adorable new styles of ARF-themed shirts have been specially designed for us, and can be shipped directly to your home. A portion of the proceeds still benefits our homeless animals, of course! Check out the new styles here.
Paver Bricks are a thoughtful and lasting way to support our shelter and memorialize your family name
or loved one.
We’re currently taking orders for these custom-imprinted pavers, which are displayed in a beautiful patio in front of the building for all to see.
