Special thanks to the Jessica Beath Foundation

for its generous support!

Jessica Beath established The Beath Foundation in 1991 to honor the memory of her husband, Dr. Thomas Beath; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Thomas; and her sisters, Annie Thomson and Beatrice Stockdale. The Foundation’s mission is to provide for notable charitable causes, particularly to support the general welfare, care and rescue of animals. Jessica succeeded in making a difference in the lives of animals in life and continues to do so with her legacy.

The Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation is honored to receive a generous grant from the Jessica Beath Foundation to continue with its mission of rescuing and rehabilitating homeless animals and, ultimately, finding their forever home.

We salute the generosity and mission of the Jessica Beath Foundation for reaching out to the animal rescue community and supporting in such a great way. Jessica Beath has made a tremendous impact to the community, as well as the many thousands of animals in their care each year. We and the animals thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Founded in 1993, the Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation (AARF) is a Richmond, VA based non-profit, all volunteer, non-euthanizing animal rescue organization. With a specific focus on the area’s canine population in collaboration with local shelters, animal control agencies, concerned citizens and other rescue organizations, our mission is to safe-house and rehabilitate orphaned animals in the Greater Richmond region and adopt them into permanent, loving homes. The animals in our care come to us from a variety of sources, with many having had a history of abuse and neglect, where most would have otherwise never had the opportunity of finding their forever home. We give. We love. We save.
