Animal Rescue Volunteers (ARV), is a non-profit dog rescue group based in Simi Valley, CA. Dedicated to the welfare of abandoned and abused animals. ARV does not maintain a shelter. All rescue animals are in foster homes.
We save those in most need. We have rescued pregnant mommas, as young puppies do not do well in the shelter. We rescue the ones who do not show well in the shelter. We try to help dogs locally in our community to help prevent them from ending up in the shelter. We rescue elderly dogs so they can have a home, not the shelter, to live out their life. We rescue dogs that have been hit by cars or injured and therefore need surgery. Stop by and adopt a dog. Click on the tab above "Adopt a Pet" for the current list.

Meet and greet is by appointment only AFTER an interview. Please email us at staff@arvsimi.org and provide your contact number and the city you reside. Once the above is received, we will be in touch for a phone interview. The interview call can take a day or two. THE PHONE CALL WILL COME FROM A RESTRICTED NUMBER. Adoption is based on the best fit. Thanks for your patience.
Buddy was born on July 19, 2021. He is a very sweet and playful pup. He is a little shy until he knows you, but he does not bite. Buddy loves to run around with a toy in his mouth. He likes you to throw his toys so he can chase them. He would do best with another dog and an active family. He walks well on a leash.
Every dollar counts towards vaccinations, impound fees, medications, vet visits and surgical procedures, board and training for special cases, special required foods and diets - the list goes on - our fosters provide loving homes and YOU provide our financial ability so we can save these wonderful animals. As a result, we are successful in rescuing and placing them in a forever home!
