Support Our "Pad for PAWS" Campaign
After 15 years and over 3,000 dog and 1,000 cat rescues, it is time for us to find our “Pad for PAWS”.
With a Permanent Facility ARF Could:
- rescue many more injured and sick animals requiring surgery, quarantine or veterinary care
- provide a refuge for nursing mums with puppies and kittens before placing them in foster homes
- provide a temporary holding area for animals awaiting foster homes
- have a positive effect on the well-being of the communities that we serve
- provide a location for humane education, dog training classes, and other events
We will need almost $1,000,000 to reach our “Pad for PAWS” goal, but we think that every dog or cat out there is worth it!
