Thank you to the Master Gardners of Cumberland County for inviting A.A.R.F. to the home and garden show this year!  We setup as part of Downtown Dogs, working in partnership with Downtown Crossville, Inc.  We raised nearly $300 to help  animals throughout the Upper Cumberland!

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.

A.A.R.F. will have a table set up at the Cookeville Home and Garden Show March 5-6-7. We will have drawings for door prizes and you can sign up for our email newsletter! The show is Friday, March 5: 5 – 9pm, Saturday, March 6: 9am – 8pm and Sunday, March 7: noon – 4pm. Our table will be on the upper level near the entry.

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.
