AARF Central is Coming to Stone Mountain!

Just last week, we announced our plans to open an AARF facility. Now, that dream is a reality! We signed the paperwork on Friday to purchase a building in Stone Mountain, just a few blocks from historic Stone Mountain Village. We will close on the building on October 15, and we plan to be open by the holidays. Our new address will be 6570 James B. Rivers Memorial Drive, Stone Mountain, Georgia 30083.

The city of Stone Mountain is going through a huge face lift. Buildings in the historic district are being restored, and the city is putting in in new brick sidewalks, medians and landscaping. Stone Mountain is being restored to its historic splendor.

AARF Central will be just two blocks from Main Street. For years, the building has been used as a shop and retail center for restored Coca-Cola products. The big glass windows will help us showcase the new AARF pet supply and resource center, where we'll offer a wide variety of pet supplies and advice to pet owners. The AARF cats in the adoption center will have lots of space to climb, stretch and watch the birds in the tree outside the window. The sealed brick floors in a large open room in the middle of the building will offer a wonderful space for training, indoor adoption days and AARF events. We'll also be able to develop our grooming center, Kids N Kritters Clubhouse and self dog wash tubs. This building is absolutely perfect for our new community pet resource center! We will be bringing services to an area that really needs what we will be able to offer.

Now, we need you to help us make AARF Central a reality. With your help, we can help more pets get adopted, help more pets stay in their homes, and help educate pet owners about more humane, healthy and compassionate ways to care for their 4-legged family members. Your pledge of support or tile donation will mean that more pets will find their forever homes and escape the sadness of dying in shelters or on the street. We are tracking our donations on the dog bone on the right. As you can see, we have raised 1/3 of what we need so far, but we need YOU to help us hit our goal.
