Cat and Dog Adoption | New Jersey | Animal Rescue Force Inc.

August 2026

Happy late Summer to our Dearest ARF supporters!

We hope everyone is enjoying some FUN in the sun! Animal Rescue Force is reaching out to our long time supporters and some new ones, hoping you can help us keep aiding homeless cats and dogs find their forever homes.

Last year, our donations increased slightly while other income continues to drop and our costs continue to rise. Adoptions are down but the cost of vetting, food and care has gone up. Last year, many of you stepped up to the challenge issued by one of our ARF benefactors, who agreed to match donations of $500 or more (up to $33,000) and we met the $33,000 goal. Thank You!

Unfortunately, we still have a deficit which we are trying to eliminate so we can begin rebuilding our reserves. Our benefactor once again will match all donations over $500 this year (up to $33,000). Which has been a tremendous help although it alone will not allow us to fully erase our deficit and build our reserves. So, this is where we again ask for your support.

Won’t you help by contributing any amount you can afford? Better yet, do you know Friends, Family, Business Associates or anyone else who may be in a position to help? ARF can even contact them directly if you’d like.

Donations can be made by check sent to Animal Rescue Force, Inc., PO Box 418, East Brunswick, NJ 08816; or, you can use a credit card by going to our website, www.animalforceinc.com and clicking on the GiveDirect link; or you can use PayPal by using the email arforce3@aol.com.

Another way you can assist ARF is by adopting or getting the word out about some of our cats and dogs who have been with us for a long time. For example, Sebastian is a ten-year-old cat returned to ARF by his original adopter in December of 2025. He’s a sweetie and could use a calm, loving home for his golden years. Or Athena, a 10 year old Husky whose owner went into assisted living and is looking for someone to give her a loving home in her golden years. Call our office if you know of anyone who might be interested in Sebastian, Athena or any of our other adoptable pets awaiting homes

Thanks in advance for your continuing kindness toward animals!
