A Message From Our Executive Director
Dear Friends,
At the heart of ARRI is our commitment to go to
any length for the pets in our care. That means we’ll
always put our pets’ best interests first and do everything
possible for them.
I’m happy to share that our long-planned kennel
renovation is underway and should be completed by mid-March.
The conversion of two regular kennels to isolation
kennels will increase our isolation capacity, providing
critical space should any of the dogs in our care need a place
to recover from an illness or injury.
Thank you to the caring donors who made these
renovations possible and helped us honor our commitment for all
the pets who come through our doors! Truly, we couldn’t have
done it without you.
In gratitude,
|

Meet
Fun Bun!
Hop into our shelter and meet Fun Bun, the most
adorable bunny you'll ever see! Fun Bun is about three years
old, and her outgoing, friendly nature has quickly made her a
staff favorite. Fun Bun LOVES to be petted, so her adopter must
be willing to give her LOTS of head and back scratches! This
beauty with the long eyelashes is looking for an indoor home
where she can be loved and spoiled and have plenty of time to
roam around outside her pen and stretch her legs each day.
Don't miss your chance to give this precious girl a loving
home!

Thank you all SO
much for all of your help and for allowing us to take such a
sweet girl home with us. I wanted to immediately share a photo
of her, as she made herself right at home as soon as we walked
in...well...after she sniffed every inch of the place first :)
We're so grateful
to be able to give her a loving home, and we can't thank you
all enough!
Best,
Shelby and Christopher

Jasper is
doing very well! He has become very social and loves playing
with his toys and snuggling in bed. He settled in very quickly.
We love him dearly!
