My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mumsy is in a foster home, to schedule a meet and greet please text her consultant Rachael at (440)773-0270.

Introducing Mumsy, a 3 and a half year old pittie mix with a heart full of love and a story of resilience. Rescued from another shelter just days before giving birth, Mumsy welcomed eight beautiful pups into the world and has proven to be a dedicated and loving mama. Now that her puppies are growing and finding their forever homes, Mumsy is also ready to find her forever home.

Mumsy is crate and potty trained, finding comfort in her cozy crate during the day when her foster family isn't home. Mumsy will quietly let you know she has to go potty with a little whimper, and will perk up her ears if you say "Do you have to go potty?". She also knows basic commands like "sit", "down", and is working on "stay". She loves learning new things especially when a treat is involved. Mumsy is eager to please and willing to learn all that she can.

Mumsy absolutely adores toys, especially squeaky ones, and has the most adorable way of pouncing on them during playtime. She is always up for a fun romp around the house and enjoys playing with other dogs. Mumsy is always up for a walk and doesn't necessarily need a fenced yard, but if you have one, it should be secured with a 6ft fence because she's a curious explorer at heart.

After a fun-filled day, Mumsy is all about some quality downtime, enjoying a cozy nap or just chilling with her humans. Mumsy is the most gentle soul you will ever meet and is wonderful with children of all ages. She'd thrive in a home with other dogs, though a meet and greet is required to ensure everyone gets along. Mumsy's ready to bring her playful, loving spirit to her new family - if you think that could be you, please reach out to her consultant to schedule a meeting.

More about this rescue

Berea Animal Rescue Fund “ARF” began in 1987 as a small group of animal lovers started a ‘grassroots’ movement, recognizing the desperate housing and healthcare needs of homeless animals. Their efforts began in the southwest suburban Cleveland area, transforming a family’s garage into an animal "shelter."

The ARF movement grew when the city of Berea provided us a small building, utility costs included. In return, ARF would always have a cage open for the city’s stray animals. Now, after 20 years of service and thousands of success stories later ARF continues to save lives and make friends. ARF is operated in large part by a group of very dedicated volunteers who give their time and endless love to the shelter's furry residents.

Our next big goal is to position ourselves into a roomier facility…a more spacious home to the area's unwanted and abandoned animals. We believe no pet should be euthanized or left behind because lack of such a place. Our facility is overcrowded and outdated by today’s animal welfare standards. ONLY, through the generous support of the community and the dedication of our volunteers, can we make this dream a reality.

2007 was record breaking for ARF with both animals served and operating costs. Much help is needed!

The Berea Animal Rescue Fund “ARF” operates as a No Time Limit Shelter.
We are a 501(c) 3 Non Profit.

ARF's mission statement.... For the betterment of the lives of stray and abandoned animals, Berea’s Animal Rescue Fund, Inc. promises to:

Give loving care and companionship for as long as needed;
Provide shelter, food and medical necessities;
Seek quality homes through adoption programs;
Create public interest and awareness of animal rights and issues; and
