History

Established in 1991.

Joybound People & Pets, previously known as the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF), was founded in 1991. For more than 30 years, our commitment to our core work of finding loving homes for dogs and cats in need has been unwavering. Tens of thousands of Northern Californians have entered our doors seeking that special unconditional love only possible between people and companion animals. Our mission to unleash happiness drives innovative programs that bring people and animals together for a lifetime of joy. Every day, our team continues to build and enhance our life saving and enriching programs. From evacuating animals impacted by natural disasters, to an expansive foster family network, to developing innovative safety net programs designed to support struggling pet guardians and keep pets out of shelters, we strengthen and multiply human-animal bonds through programs for children, seniors, Veterans, and animal guardians struggling to keep their pets.
