About ARF

Animal Resource Foundation of Iowa is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that offers a variety of resources to animal shelters and rescues. ARF founders Sandy Miller and Gretchen Chamberlain have both been involved in animal rescue for years and understand that there are never enough volunteers, time or money to carry out this important work. Rescues and shelters often struggle on a daily basis to make ends meet.

ARF Iowa also offers several funding programs for the general public including low-cost spay and neuter services, veterinary assistance and colony care-giver assistance for those meeting program guidelines. These programs are financed by donations and we take applications when program funds are available.

All donations to ARF Iowa are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
