Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) of Bartlesville was started by two individuals who were rescuing abandoned animals in our community. They wanted to make a difference in the lives of animals by taking care of them until new homes could be found. Others soon wanted to help and our membership has grown!

ARF had a dream of building a rescue/adoption sanctuary for abandoned animals which has come true! Those who are never adopted can live out a happy life with others of their own kind with food, water, shelter and love. This dream has become reality with our new facility residing on 18 acres east of Bartlesville.  ARF exists by donations from the public and private foundations. We do not receive assistance from the City, State or Federal Government.  ARF is staffed mosty by volunteers.

ARF has been instrumental in bringing low cost spay/neuter opportunities to Bartlesville thanks to Drs. Brady & Jana Robbins, of ARK Veterinary Clinic in Claremore, OK.  Prices range from $65 to $105 and include a rabies vaccination.  Call for details or see Events for scheduled upcoming clinics.

Where is ARF located?

ARF's rescue/adoption facility is located at 399519 US 60 east of Bartlesville, which is 2 1/2 miles east of Hwy 75 (1/2 mile east of Bison Rd) on the south side of Hwy 60 right across the street from Bartlesville's Industrial Park. Our 5-acre membership dog park is right beside us, so you can't miss the 5 acres of fence plus we have a sign right at our driveway.

We are open Monday through Saturdays from 1:00pm - 4:00pm by appointment only (due to COVID-19).  Our current facility houses an average of 30 free-roaming cats/kittens and average 25 dogs/puppies available for adoption.
