For clarification purposes, we would like to address a miscommunication that was printed in Monday’s Herald-Citizen (4/5/2010).  A.A.R.F. was at one point looking at the possibility of renovating two barns in Cookeville for use as a shelter, but it was determined quite some time ago that the use of these barns would not be in our best interest.  Instead, we are working on renovating a building on the property of one of our board members.  Although not as large as the two barns, this building already has electric and concrete and is secure and the cost will be much less expensive then renovating even one of those barns.

The new barn referenced in the article is going to be used as a temporary shelter for puppies, and we can’t wait to show you the pictures of it. Check back soon to see the renovations!

As always, we appreciate the support of our local newspaper!
