Nike Animal Rescue Foundation

Our adoption program connects rescued cats and dogs with loving forever homes. Animals live in foster care to assess their personalities and compatibility with potential adopters. We guide applicants through a structured process to ensure successful placements.

Fostering provides temporary care for animals awaiting adoption or recovery from illness. Volunteers open their homes to nurture pets, helping us understand their needs for better adoption matches. Training and support are provided.

We promote spaying and neutering to reduce animal overpopulation. Educational campaigns and partnerships with local clinics help communities access affordable sterilization services for cats and dogs.

Rescued animals receive necessary medical treatment, including vaccinations and surgeries. Donations fund care for special needs pets, ensuring all animals are healthy before adoption into permanent homes.

Volunteers support our mission through fostering, event assistance, and administrative tasks. We offer flexible roles for individuals and groups to contribute to animal rescue efforts and community education programs.

We just adopt a terrier puppy. The entire adoption experience was warm and welcoming. Foster mom Mary was awesome and helpful.

Such a great program! They rescued my new pup from a shelter and did such an amazing job socializing and training her while she was in foster care. She's such a perfect fit for me, and I'm so in love with her already. Thank you to the awesome volunteers, team members, and foster families at NARF for helping me find this perfect little angel!

AMAZING. My husky ran away and she gave me all the info I needed on who to call and where to go. She even called me back a few days after when she thought of another husky specific shelter I could call (we have found him by the way). Definitely went above and beyond remembering my number and calling me to check in on if I found our baby!

Even though Nike was unable to take the cat we need to find a home for right now, they were very helpful in providing information about other organizations that might be able to help. The woman (Cheryl, I believe?) I spoke with also gave a list of helpful resources and ideas to try to find a home for the cat ourselves. Out of 8 different animal rescue places we called, Nike was the only one to call back and the only one to try to help. It was appreciated, and I will be sending a donation in gratitude.

My husband and I just adopted a terrier mixed puppy named, Michael (new name is Carlton). The process was very smooth. We left a message for them over the phone. They called us within an hour and we had a brief phone interview with the foster parent. She invited us to come to her home to meet all the pups and to get to know us better. Once we decided that we wanted Michael, we filled out all the paperwork and she walked us through all the necessary info such as: - next vaccination and deworming dates - feeding schedule - potty schedule *We also brought our apt lease to show that we're allowed to have dogs and this demonstrated to the foster parent that we were responsible and ready to adopt a dog.

She also gave us the following items: - folder with all the paperwork and more than enough reading to get you started on how to raise a puppy - medium ziplock bag of dog food - dog collar with tag that had NARF's contact info - deworming formula We would highly recommend adopting from NARF and we would definitely come back to them in the future.

It's a plus that this group is passionate about their animals and look for the most suitable owner but this review was for my experience trying to adopt a puppy. First off, I've had 2 dogs before and most of my friends and family have dogs of their own so I'm familiar as to how to take care of a dog but I've never had a puppy so I understand why I might not be the most suitable person to have a puppy and that's all I needed to hear but she went above and beyond to make me feel inferior.

I told her I wanted to adopt a puppy for my mom and she said, " I don't care how old you are, you're mom needs to adopt the puppy not you"(I didn't even mention my age ).I went on to tell her how I would take care of the puppy and she told me to go do my homework and then call back in a couple days. I think it's really amazing what they're doing for animals in need of homes but the way I was treated doesn't make me eager to come back or refer them to anyone.

I contacted this group to help me place my dog in a new home because we are having a baby and my dog is not baby friendly. This group told me my dog was too old to place (5 years old) and good luck with no other advice. I'm not sure how they help place dogs. Doesn't seem like a rescue agency if they only place easy to place dogs like perfect puppies. I always like to rescue dogs and the two I have were strays that ended up in shelters who we rescued. I am looking for a good dog placement agency if anyone knows one.
