Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!  Many of you know I volunteer with ARFhouse Chicago and how important animal rescue is to me.  We're holding a fundraiser on October 3, a 15-mile bike ride or 5K walk in Skokie.  I help organize this event every year and will be working at the event.  To do my share, I completed the 5K walk on Labor Day with our adoptable Husky mix, Coyote. 

Rescued animals have played a big part in my life.  All of my pets were found as strays or rescues.  My current cats Dexter and Bella were found in a Chicago alley when they were only 5 weeks old.  They make me smile everyday, I couldn't imagine my life without pets in the house.

ARFhouse Chicago is unique, we welcome all kinds of dogs, even those with disabilities, treatable illnesses, elderly pets and pit bulls. In our 3 years of operation we've placed over 400 dogs and counting.  Fundraisers like this are crucial to our growth and will help us continue to reduce the number of great pets that are euthanized.  Keep in mind, it doesn't take much to make a difference, just $25 will spay/neuter one of our animals, $50 will cover a heartworm test.  These are only some of the services that we provide for all of our animals.

Donating through this website is simple and secure, and any size donation is greatly appreciated, even $5 helps.  Don't forget about company matching!   Feel free to forward this and check out our shelter, our pets and our successful adoption stories at   www.arfhousechicago.org

Thank you!
