Helping Chile!

damage in Talca, ChileAs promised ARF is donating $5 for every animal we adopted out during the month of February to the Humane Society of the United States and their efforts to assist the abandoned and injured animals in Haiti. We're proud to say 65 ARF animals found homes in February so we will be sending $325 to the Humane Society of the United States and we hope to make a similar donation to help the animals recently impacted by the earthquake in Chile.

Dogs of the Week

Tiny

This sweet boy is about 10 years old and looking for his forever home. He is still a bit shy but loves to be held. Tiny came to us after his owner passed away and he spent a few weeks mostly crated by owners son. He loves people and just needs a chance to live, love and trust again.   He's a great lap puppy, good in the car and walks great on leash.  Such a great boy!

Tiny will not be at the Adoption EventsPlease fill out our online Adoption Application and we will arrange for a meet and greet. 

Please note Tiny's adoption fee is a reduced Senior Fee: $150.

Winter

Winter is a stunning great pry mix  puppy. He is full of spunk and puppy bounce, sweet and easy going! Winter will be a big boy he already tips the scale at over 15 LBs.... taking to potty training well and loves to play with toys.  Please fill out our online Adoption Application to learn more about Winter. 

Cisco

Cisco is a 3 year  old, pure bred beagle.  He's very friendly and affectionate with adults, but children make him nervous.  He's good with other dogs but does resource guard his toys and his food, so we recommend him as an only dog or in a home where the other dog isn't all that into toys. Cisco's mom has terminal cancer and has asked ARF to help her find her beloved pet a new home where she knows that Cisco will be taken care of and loved for the rest of his life.  Please fill out our online Adoption Application and we will arrange for a meet and greet. 

Jasper

Jasper is a 1yr old 15lb Yorkipoo male looking for a home who will make him a full loving part of the family! He's very calm and mellow for his young age and a little bit shy at first, but once he warms up he is an instant friend! He has a lot of love to give and likes to be a constant companion with you, wherever you go around the house. Jasper loves to cuddle and nap at your side on the couch, but is always up for a walk or playtime if the right squeaker toy is around! He loves to play with other dogs, and I have been told that he is great with children. Jasper is house trained and knows his basic commands but still needs to practice, practice, practice! He's very clever and is a fast learner, so with continued training and attention he has the potential to be a very smart and well-mannered dog! Jasper is quiet as a mouse in his crate at night, but doesn't like to be alone for long periods of time, so a house where he could have company all day long would be ideal.   To adopt Jasper, complete our online Adoption Application.
