We have had some real good success doing adoption events at the PETCO store @ The Avenue in Murfreesboro. Willie Wells, who is the manager here, invited us to attend and conduct events from this store. We are in search of foster homes in the Murfreesboro area – real animal lovers who are familiar with veterinarians, services, etc. who are local. We will not be attending this store on Saturday of this week (3/20) due to obligations in Cookeville. Please contact Jennifer if you are interested in assisting: info@aarf-tn.com or (931) 260-8018.
Thanks to all of you who visited with us and/or volunteered with us at the home show March 5-7. We raised close $150 to help homeless animals throughout the Upper Cumberland! Thanks SO much to Value Pet Supplies for the donation of 3 gift certificates to be used for door prizes. The show was a success, and we reached quite a few people throughout our community.

A.A.R.F. will hold a special Valentines Day Fundraiser/event on Saturday, February 13 2010 at PETCO in Cookeville. All of our adoptable pets will be there waiting to find their forever homes – hoping to find the love of their life – YOU! For a donation, we will have special hand-made valentine hearts available, and our second annual “Kiss Chuck for a $Buck”. Chuck, a tall, dark and devistatingy handsome Lab mix will be waiting to give YOU all the kisses you can handle…but it will cost you! Chuck is asking for $1 for all the kisses you want from him – and thanking you for saving his life. Chuck is a PARVO survivor. Without A.A.R.F., Chuck never would have survived. Now A.A.R.F. needs you to help us help the next one…All proceeds will be used towards PARVO treatment bills from January 2010, and future special needs medical treatment expenses if amount raised exceeds liability.
Chuck is a 10-12 Week Young Black Lab Mix Pup and is available for adoption.

We are at PETCO in Cookeville, Tennessee every Saturday between the hours of Noon and 6PM with some of our available animals. If weather permits, and is not too hot or cold, we are setup under tents outside of PETCO. During the summer and winter months, you can find us inside of the store. Some of our cats are housed in the feline habitat inside the PETCO store and can be seen and pre-adopted on a daily basis during PETCO store hours.
