Joybound People & Pets, formerly the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF), is committed to forming, supporting, elevating, and celebrating the human-animal bond through cat and dog rescue and adoption and services such as training and veterinary care, food and supply assistance, therapy and service-animal programs, and rich learning resources for all pet families. Headquartered in Walnut Creek, CA, our goal is for every adoption story to become a lasting tale of friendship, love, and mutual happiness.
Dogs and cats aren't just animals people take care of. They take care of us too. When you bond with a pet, it is scienti?cally proven to make you healthier and happier. But you don't need a bunch of research to tell you that. You can feel it with every belly rub or every time they rush to greet you at the door. Creating that feeling has been our driving purpose for more than 30 years.
