	About ARF ACT Rescue and Foster (ARF) Inc. (ABN 54 495 663 951) is an incorporated association of people in the Canberra (Australia) and surrounding region who rescue dogs from euthanasia and foster them temporarily in our own homes for as long as it takes to find them loving, permanent homes.

	Ever thought about rescuing dogs? Foster carers are the "missing piece of the puzzle" between the pound and the forever home. They provide shelter, care and love for the dogs in preparation for their new homes. If this sounds like something you would like to do, fostering through ARF can provide you with the support to make it easier, safer and more affordable than doing it solo. If you, or anyone you know, are keen to help save abandoned dogs lives, please read a little about what is involved in "Foster Care" and talk to us and /or complete the form there.	Sponsorship or donations All donations to ARF of $2 and over are tax-deductible. If you can help ARF to continue rescuing neglected dogs, some of whom need some extra medical care before they can be adopted, please contact ARF for our bank details to make a direct donation.
