Berks Animal Rescue League Home

The ARL is having a donation drive to purchase Kuranda beds for all of our cat cages. Studies have shown that cats like to have a high place to sleep and it decreases stress in shelters. Cats who are less stressed are less likely to get sick.

We need about 40 beds. The cost is $59 for a set of two beds. What a nice Valentine's Day gift for the cats at the ARL! Please click on this link which takes you to the Kuranda web site:

Thank you for your generosity!

Mural in the ARL Lobby

The Animal Rescue League gives a huge “thank you” to local artist Terry Flannery and mural sponsor Ginny Rumsey for making our Rainbow Bridge mural possible. Our lobby changed from a great new room to a showplace with the addition of the mural.

The large mural depicts a sampling of our animal companions – various breeds of dogs and cats, horses, ferrets, guinea pigs and even a llama – who have passed on and are waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. According to the poem, that’s the place where our pets romp and play until we get there and are reunited in happiness.

As a fundraiser for the ARL, you can have your pet become part of the mural. The frame around the mural is divided into 84 six-by-six inch squares. For a donation of $300 per square, or two squares for $500, artist Terry Flannery will paint an original portrait of your pet on canvas. Portraits will be painted from a photograph supplied by you. They will then be placed on the frame of the mural for permanent display at the ARL. You will receive a memorial print of the portrait signed by Terry Flannery.

For more information on purchasing a square or two, contact Barrie Pease at 610-373-8830 or email at bpease@dejazzd.com.

PET OF THE WEEK

(IN THE GREY MUZZLE FOSTER PROGRAM)

Hi, I'm Holly. Check out my ears! I am a 7-10 year old spayed female Chihuahua mix. I needed emergency surgery when I first left for my foster home to remove bladder stones. Some nice people offered to help pay for my surgery. I am very greatful that they didn't give up hope because I'm not a young puppy anymore. It was scary, but I feel much better now. I love running around and playing with the other dogs in my foster home. I am crate trained and doing well with housetraining. Everyone who meets me falls in love with me. I'm sure you will too.

I am in a foster home so please email Marcy at marcyb411@hotmail.com to set up an appointment to meet me.
