Hurricanes and storms Earl, Fiona, Gaston, H...?
We've been asked how our shelter and animals fared during Hurricane Earl and the bad weather that followed (and seems to keep on following).
Our shelter and the vet clinic got flooded, but the animals are safe. We will provide updates as they become available. By the way, here are some some excellent weather web sites to bookmark and follow during what has been a harrowing hurricane season that goes on through November. (Go there now for a couple photos of Hurricane Earl just after it hit us.)
We have some very nice new guests who need homes. Please go to the Available for Adoption link (or click on any picture below) for more information and larger pictures.
Lucy was adopted by Jeanette, a great friend of AARF and animals! (Sep 5)
At the shelter and available for adoption (Aug 22):
- Connie, poor Connie - has been a the shelter for far too long. Please help find a home for her Note that she's the sister of Angie (see photo below), who turned out to be great. Don't miss out on a great little puppy! (Sep 5)
- We have 2 kittens, both males about 6 weeks (perfect age). Both guys are very tame and love to be held. Great kittens -- and much nicer looking, much cuter than the photos suggest. One is black (and we have found these to often have the best personalities) and one is of mixed colours. Come by the shelter and see and play with them! (Aug 22)
- And we have Mio, a 5 year old wonderful cat that unfortunately needs a new home. He is a male, neutered, ginger cat with a lovely temperament. Mio is very friendly and loves to cuddle and be close to people. He is used to being an inside/outside cat and would prefer to be “the only cat” in the household! if you are interested in meeting mio and learning more about him please call Alex at 235-5744 and leave your name and contact number (Aug 13)

The population is about 12,000 and the ratio of pets to those owners wanting pets is very high. Most people who want a pet have one, but there are many animals available.
We work to accomplish our mission to promote the welfare of dogs and cats via the following actions and programs:
- Maintain a pet shelter that takes in unwanted animals.
- Provide for adoptions of healthy animals at a reasonable cost.
- Socialize incoming animals to make them adoptable.
- Educate the public in the humane treatment and care of animals. In particular, an education program that visits school children with a classroom presentation runs several times a year.
- Attempt to reduce the population of unwanted animals by providing spay and neuter surgery to new adopters and with targeted Trap, Neuter and Release (TNR) programs.

Also, please join our low–volume, one–way announce email list, which provides up to the minute information about happenings. We have a social two–way forum on Facebook.
