Animal Rescue Front, Inc.

Animal rescue in Groton, MA

Founded in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and because of the shocking treatment we saw many animals in the Deep South endure, and the extremely high kill rates in their shelter systems. ARF is committed to helping animals with a focus in the state of Mississippi. Many of these wonderful animals would be killed in a shelter or abandoned outside if not for our continued efforts.

Additional adoption info

Our fees are as follows:

Puppies 12 months and younger - $675 MA resident
Adult dogs 13 months to 5 years - $650.00 MA resident
Adult dogs +5 years of age - $525 MA resident

If pre-adoption neutering is not medically advised before adoption, a refund of $50 will be given to the adopter when proof of neuter is presented to us. NOTE - you are required to submit proof of spay/neuter once that has been completed. This is a strict requirement of our organization and the MA Department of Agriculture/Animal Welfare, and no exceptions are allowed without a written explanation from a licensed veterinarian. Our adoption donation covers the transport to New England and exceptional vetting (2-3 vaccines for puppies - 2 for adults) from our veterinary teams down south and local quarantining in MA. We require you to fill out an application, adoption contract (once approved), provide a vet reference, and request a home inspection.

Our adoption application can be found here: http://animalrescuefront.org/forms/

Thanks for rescuing!

Please note - we will not adopt a puppy to anyone unwilling and committed to ensuring their new family member never reproduces. Spaying and neutering your pet contributes to efforts to reduce unwanted and homeless animals in the United States, and your animal will be healthier. Our adoption fees are non-refundable after 14 days. If, for whatever reason, your adoption is not suitable for you or your adoptee, we require the animal to be surrendered to us. NO EXCEPTIONS.
