Joybound People & Pet Alliance

Joybound People & Pets, formerly the Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF), is committed to forming, supporting, elevating, and celebrating the human-animal bond through cat and dog rescue, adoption, and services.

Based in Walnut Creek, CA, services include training and veterinary care, food and supply assistance, therapy and service-animal programs, and rich learning resources for all pet families. The organization aims for every adoption story to become a lasting tale of friendship, love, and mutual happiness. 

Joybound’s team of trained volunteers and expert staff ensures every animal receives proper nutrition, medical evaluation and treatment, training and lots of love as they await their new forever home. Its shelter touches the lives of thousands of animals and people each year.
