ALL ABOUT WHO WE ARE:

 

Animal Relief and Rescue Fellowship is an organization that was formed in 2001.  We are a

501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  ARRF is dedicated to helping dogs and puppies located in the Washington County, Leland Mississippi area.  Specifically, ARRF dedicates its resources to the abandoned and neglected animals at the Leland Animal Shelter. ARRF does not receive any federal, county, or city funds.

 

The organization has a very small group of volunteers (fewer than 7 total).  We rely on YOUR donations to help us pay for dog food, medical supplies, and veterinary expenses.  Yes, that is correct.  There is NO city allowance for dog food.  The only money allocated by the city and county is strictly designated for the animal control officer’s salary, maintenance of his city vehicle, and salary for a 20-hour per week worker to clean dog runs and feed the animals six days a week.

 

There is no public access to the Leland shelter.  You can click here to view the present shelter conditions.  ARRF has provided buckets for water, bowls for food, hoses to clean dog runs, dog houses for shelter, dog food to feed the animals, industrial fans for use in the HOT days of summer, gas for heating in the winter (that, by the way, does a minimal job), blankets for the animals in the outside dog runs. ARRF has also paid for pouring of concrete, fencing, and roofing for ALL outside dog runs.  ARRF pays for ALL vaccines and syringes used to vaccinate the puppies and dogs to help prevent outbreaks of distemper and parvo at the shelter.  Even the washing machine and dryer to launder dog blankets were obtained through ARRF.

 

WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT THROUGH DONATIONS, NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

 

PLEASE KNOW THAT 100% OF YOUR DONATION GOES TOWARDS HELPING THESE ANIMALS!!!

 

THANK YOU.
