ARFhouse (Animal Refuge Foundation) is a no-kill, care-for-life canine sanctuary, caring for 350 dogs at any given time. Located on 45 acres in North Texas, ARFhouse provides plenty of space for all its residents to live and play, and hopefully find their forever homes. ARFhouse is a Texas non-profit corporation, and received the 501(c)3 determination letter from the IRS in 1992.

Being in a rural area has advantages; the dogs have plenty of space; even those in yards, since the yards are big. Many of them get to swim in the pond. Also, we never get complaints about barking. The downside has been that it took several years for people to learn about our facility and begin to contact us to adopt a dog. Adopters frequently drive the 70 miles from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area when they see a dog on PetFinder they want. As we've become more visible, many contributors now come to us for a dog. With the support of our affiliate group, ARFhouse Chicago, we place more than 100 dogs annually through their adoption program in addition to dogs who are adopted from the Sherman, Texas location. When one dog is adopted, there is always one waiting to take his/her place here at ARFhouse.
