A.R.F. hosts spring garage sale to benefit local rescue animals

Animal lovers and bargain hunters are invited to the Animal Rescue Foundation’s Spring 2026 Garage Sale on May 1-2. Sale hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday and Saturday at A.R.F., 531 W. Roosevelt Road in Wheaton.

This popular annual event is packed with amazing finds — from pet supplies and home goods to unique treasures — all at unbeatable prices.

Best of all, every purchase directly supports A.R.F.’s mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome homeless pets in the Chicago area.

As a no-kill, volunteer-driven, foster-based rescue, A.R.F. depends entirely on the support of the community to provide lifesaving care to animals in need.

How you can help:

• Shop the sale: Every item you purchase helps save lives.

• Spread the word: Invite friends and family, and share the event on social media or in your neighborhood.

• Volunteer: Help is needed with setup, organizing, and running the sale. It’s a great way to give back and support rescue animals.

Since 1985, A.R.F. has helped thousands of dogs and cats find loving homes. Your support at this year’s garage sale helps continue that lifesaving work.
