Volunteer
One of the greatest gifts anyone can give is the gift of time. Volunteers must be 18 years old. Please visit our volunteer page on this site for more information. It is under the resources tab.
​
If you have a group wanting to volunteer, please email to schedule a day for you to come in and help! For groups that are under 18 years of age, we would be more than happy to give a tour to young animal lovers and explain what we do at ARF! For groups, email doug@munciearf.com.

Sponsor an ARF Permanent Resident
If you love and care about animals, but are unable to adopt because of your housing or family situation, allergies, or any other reason, you can still help the ARF animals by sponsoring one of our permanent resident "Sanctuary babies."
​
Part of ARF's mission is to provide shelter, medical care, and love to animals who are "unwanted" or have been "abandoned." For a myriad of reasons, some of these animals are considered not suitable for adoption. To this end, we have many "permanent residents" at ARF. They are loved and cared for by ARF staff every day and are very happy with living out the rest of their lives at ARF.
​
The resources required to care for these animals are significant. Shelter, medical care, food, water, utilities, cleaning supplies, bedding, and staff to care for the animals are all costs incurred in caring for the animals. The only funding ARF receives is from donations and grants. As a not-for-profit organization, all of the funding that we receive is used to care for the animals.
ARF Endowment Fund
By making a donation to the ARF Endowment Fund, you are making a long-term investment in saving homeless animals in our community. The endowment fund is an investment fund established by the Community Foundation of Muncie & Delaware County. For more information about the ARF Endowment, please click here.
