Welcome
to the Animal Refuge Center!
 The
Animal Refuge Center, in spite of its many struggles, has
grown into a dynamic and ever-changing place. We are located
in a ranch-style home in Vine Grove, KY that has been converted
into a clean, well-run and neatly organized shelter facility.
The cats have full run of the house and yard,
and the dogs have a well-kept and spacious kennel area in
which to run. The animals here do not have a feeling of despair,
and they are friendly, willing and eager to go to new adoptive
homes with people who will love and keep them. If that home
is not found, they have the right to live out their natural
lives here without the threat of death because there are not
enough homes to go around.
Our Mission
The Animal Refuge Center firmly believes that spaying and
neutering pets is the only way to keep down the growing pet
overpopulation problem. Unfortunately, more and more pets
arrive at ARC every day--whether they are older pets brought
by folks who can no longer care for them, or brand-new babies
in the world dumped at ARC by the boxful because someone said,
"I don't need to have my pet fixed--why?"
