The PETCO Foundation (http://www.petco.com/petco_Page_pc_petcofoundationhome_Nov_11.aspx) recently approved a grant request and donated $800 worth of kitten food to A.A.R.F. We want to thank them once again for their generosity and their willingness to help! The kittens in our care are not eating very high quality food and thriving because of it.
Sharon Langford of Sparta recently wrote a book entitled “LIVING THE RESCUES: Life Lessons and Inspirations”. Not only is the book wonderful (my personal opinion, of course), but ALL proceeds from the book are going to help homeless animals in need. Ms. Langford will donate all of HER profits to her own, private foundation, while [...]

Andrea enjoys what she does (as you will see in the photo below) and truly cares SO MUCH about each [...]
Meet Jody….she looks to be a beautiful 3 year young Boston Terrier…but what you are not seeing is how she was found. She arrived at our veterinarian’s office filthy, covered in fleas and ticks and quite emaciated. A heartworm test was run, and she tested heartworm positive.
The initial treatment for Jody is $300. We are [...]
