ARFS keeps meticulous financial records and conforms to the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which are the accounting rules, standards, and procedures issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.  Each quarter ARFS generates the five non-profit accounting statements required by GAAP.   ARFS’s financial records are open to the public.

ARFS does not need a physical building, so it has very few operating expenses. The board is determined to spend less than 10% of its income on administration, advertising, and fundraising. This permits its revenue to be used for the purposes that it is intended, that is, aid for animals and those who rescue or care for them.
