About Us

Animal Rescue and Fostering Networks (ARFNets) is a 501(c)3 Non-profit rescue organization based in Maryville, Tennessee. Our organization is made up of volunteers and fosters in the Blount County and surrounding areas of the East Tennessee Valley. We are working to find loving, permanent homes for abandoned or rescued pets of all kinds.

Please take a minute to look through our site and see all of the pets that are currently available for adoption. Also browse the numerous programs we have in the East Tennessee area and see how you might be able to get involved to help save a life.

Pets are not like humans. They do not understand why they are abused, abandoned, or left in the shelter. These pets need our help. ARFNets is the organization that provides that help.
