Fraudulent Venmo Requests

We’ve received word that scammers are using a Venmo account using a similar name and profile picture. If you receive a request to donate money (so far they’ve requested money for spay/neuters but can use different ploys) verify the sender. Here are important differences.

  1. @ARFPNC is the legitimate account. Scammers are currently using @ARPFNC– (note the two dashes) but can rotate through various special characters to mask their activities
  2. The legitimate ARFP account is a business account. It will not show up as a personal account

If you’ve received a request from the scam account:

  1. Report it as junk or fraud
  2. Email a screenshot to phishing@venmo.com
  3. You can also forward it to your local police departmen

Final 2024 Adoption Fair is December 21!

The Next Step Adoption Center will be closed from December 22, 2025, until January 3, 2025. Our next fair will be January 4, 2025 from 9am-noon.

If you’re interested in adopting a pet between now and then, fill out a no-obligation adoption application and one of our volunteers will be in touch. It might be possible to work out a one-on-one meet and greet.

Adoption Event on 10/27/24

The Next Step Adoption Center will be open this Sunday from 1pm to 4pm for a cat-only Adoption event! Come by and get your kitty scratches in!

NSAC Closed Easter Weekend

The ARFP Next Step Adoption Center will be closed this Saturday, March 30, 2024, so our volunteers can spend Easter weekend with their families.

We will re-open on Saturday, April 6, 2024, for our normal hours of 9 AM-12 noon.

In the meantime, you can check out our adoptable dogs and cats here on our website.

What to do if you need help with an animal.

ARFP’s focus is kittens and puppies 12 weeks of age and younger. If you find a kitten or puppy in need of rescue please email savapup2@aol.com. Make sure to include pictures and as much information as possible about the animals.

Alternatively, call 336-574-9600 and leave a message on the RESCUE line.

ARFP operates on a foster-home model. Kittens and puppies are placed in foster homes for care and socialization. Foster homes are limited in number, so we can only help as many animals as we have available foster homes.

NSAC Closed for the Holidays

The ARFP Next Step Adoption Center will be closed for the holidays from December 20, 2018 through January 1, 2019.

But Ramona says not to worry! She and all the other ARFP kitties and puppies will be back starting Wednesday, January 2, 2019, so you can meet them — and they can find their forever homes.

Have a wonderful holiday and a very happy New Year!
