ARF was established in 2005 to support the work of the Everett Animal Shelter (EAS), Snohomish County’s largest and only open-admission shelter. Through fundraising, adoption events, and education, ARF has spread public awareness about the Everett Shelter and the important work it does for animals and the community in Snohomish County. ARF is also uniquely poised to provide assistance directly to the animals who most need it by funding medical expenses that fall outside the shelter’s budget.
