If you do know how to do these things, you should volunteer because they would love you. We had a great experience today. They have volunteers that are experienced that will teach you the way. They are very friendly and funny. You will work hard. We put up drywall, but the options of things you may do are endless (besides a few items like roofing). You volunteer for a full day, get a lunch break and a break in the morning. Be prepared to use a portapotty. Also be prepared to build a home or make modifications to a home for a person who really needs it. Worth it.

I'm not sure that these folks actually want to adopt out their rescue pups. Was approved and got…read morean email stating I was approved. Second email said wait 5-7 days and respond with dogs you're interested in, which I did. Never heard back. Ended up going to a local rescue and adopted a senior companion with special needs to add to the family. Our last rescue we had for over 11 years and we kept in touch with not only his rescue (yearly with donations and events), but with the actual person who rescued him. We are sorry ARF turned out to be such a disappointment with no communication after application approval. But nonetheless, it worked out for us and the rescue we rescued from. I was warned in the therapy dog community not to attempt to adopt from them and they were correct. Hate to leave a bad review since it's all volunteers, but simple communication goes a long way when there are a lot of pups waiting for forever homes out there.

Many of whom are refugees. No one makes a dime here. And no one pays a dime. Getting ready for a major renovation, I went through every closet and nook and cranny and collected anything I didn't need anymore. It was the perfect time to buy new towels, so I donated all of my old towels. All of the redecorating I've done in the past, filled my linen closet to the brim with nice bedding sets. I bagged them up and donated those too. Clothes I don't wear anymore. Snow pants and coats that never get used. Dishes that were gifts that I didn't want. Old utensils that have been replaced. My closets have never looked better, and refugees without basic necessities can get help starting their new lives here.
