Help Us Help the ARL Animals 

Encourage your employer to sponsor a special event to benefit the animals or the printing of the ARL newsletter. Donate products from our “wish list” that includes cat litter, newspaper, liquid laundry detergent, towels, small blankets, and dog and cat toys. Also, get a Redner’s Save-a-Tape card and use the card each time you shop at the grocery store. Redner’s donates one percent of your receipt total to the ARL.
 

These photos only represent a portion of the animals that are currently available for adoption. We strongly urge you to stop by to see these wonderful pets in person because their availability can change on a daily basis.
 
All spayed and neutered cats are $ 25.00. You must still fill out an application and be approved.

D14620   Are you looking for a medium sized dog who is very gentle and walks great on a leash?  Then please come see me.  I’m a three year old shep/lab mix and I came in as a stray.  I get along great with kids, but would probably be best in a home with no other dogs.

D14707   I’m just one of many great dogs that get left behind by their owners.  They moved and I was all by myself in the house for quite a while.  My name is Chaco and I’m a 2-3 year old pitbull.  I’m a very happy guy who loves everyone.  I would love to find my forever home!

D14632   So you think pitbulls are mean and nasty, guess again ~ I am a big baby! I cried and whined when I hurt my ear the other day. My ear is fine but I love being babied. I am gentle and calm and I have a great disposition! I am a 14 month old male.

D14626    I am a 3 yr. old female Pitbull mix named Momita. Please don't let my breed discourage you. I am very sweet and friendly ~ just ask the staff.  I also am very gentle ~ I'm a keeper. Check me out in Kennel 1.

D14681   Hi there!  My name is Curly Joe.  No, I’m not very curly – just my tail, anyway.  I am about 1-2 years old and a shiba inu mix.  I am a very fun and happy dog.  All the volunteers love to take me for a walk.  I wish one of them (or maybe you) could take me home.  I would do great in a home with kids, but I’d love to be the only pet so I can hog all their attention.

D14737   I would make a great companion or family dog.  My name is Belle and I am 6 years old.  I am wonderful with kids and in my previous home I lived with cats.  I was never around other dogs, but I’ve been fine since coming to the shelter.  If you leave me alone, I would do best with a crate.  If you are looking for a little love bug, I am here!

D14542  I came in as a stray so a lot isn't know about me. So let me tell you what they do know. I am approximately 1-2 yrs. old and I am a female. I am a very nice girl who just wants to love you. I know people are scared when they hear the word "pitbull" but you don't have to be scared with me. There are a lot of myths out there about pitbulls. They need to be in the hands of responsible owners and that is exactly what I am looking for. Together, we can have a happy life!!!

CR3307  Aren’t I just so handsome?  Someone said I look like a Siamese rabbit – isn’t that funny?  I just think I am one gorgeous boy.

CR3163   I’m just one of MANY rabbits available at the shelter.  My name is Roger, and I am very curious and playful and I need a good, loving home.  I’m very bored here in my cage and would love a large yard or playpen to have fun in.  Please come and visit me and all my fellow bunnies in the cat/critter room!

D14573   Take a look at those gorgeous baby blues!  I’m a neutered brindle pitbull mix.  I’m about 1-2 years old.  I have a lot of energy and love to play.  I will do anything for your attention and affection.  If you are looking for a loving baby, I’m waiting here.

D14635   I am a 3-4 year old wirehaired Jack Russell mix.  I was brought in as a stray with another dog who was my best friend.  He already found a great home and now I’m hoping it’s my turn.  I’m already neutered, and I would be wonderful in a house with kids and with other dogs.  Won’t you please help me find my forever home?

C29236   Hey everybody, I'm Max, a very handsome neutered 3 yr. old DSH red tiger who loves to get my head rubbed. I'm not saying this but the staff says I'm a pig because I love to eat. I say what 's wrong with that but that's what they say. OK, I love to eat!

D14325   Hey everyone, I am Oreo and I've been at the shelter for awhile. Won't anyone give me a chance?? I'm lovable, older (5 yrs.) and have a lot of great attributes.

If you have tried to find me at the ARL, stop looking because  I am currently being trained at Peacock Bridge Kennels to learn obedience. Wait until you see the new me! For more information, contact the ARL or Peacock Bridge Kennels at 610-926-2722 or www.pbkennels.com  

C29785   I’m Miranda, a gorgeous 4 year old spayed female.  I love to meow to get your attention.  I am good with children, but a little fearful of other animals.  I am pleasant and sweet, and I need a really good home!

I am cute, adorable and waiting for someone to give me a second chance at a permanent home. Will you please give me that chance?? Seriously, how can you resist me? Please remember I'm not a toy that you can forget about or discard! We rabbits have feelings, too, you know! I am being fostered by staff member, Nicole.  If you have any questions about me, please call and speak to her.

We are 3 of 4 female gerbils available at the shelter.  We are approximately 1 year old.  Come and see us run through our tunnel maze!

C29775   Hi, I’m Chuck!  Don’t let my picture fool you – I’m definitely not lazy!  I’m a friendly fellow who gets along with other cats.  I have a gruff meow, but don’t let that scare you – I’m really an affectionate guy.  I’m a 4 year old neutered male who is already front declawed.  Come in and see if I’m the perfect pet for you!

CR3284 & CR3285  Ruby and Miss Piggy – The Animal Rescue League has all kinds of critters, too.  These female guinea pigs (mother and daughter) are very easy to handle and would make a great first pet.  Or, if you are too busy for a dog or cat, guinea pigs don’t need the constant attention – just lots of love and fresh food and water!

Rats are another great first pet – they are easy to care for and very playful.  They also love tubes and tunnels.  You can even buy hammocks for them to sleep in!  These three young females came in together and love each other very much.  If you come in to visit, you won’t see them at first because they hide under their blanket.  Wanna play peek-a-boo?

C29461  Are you looking for a very calm, mellow lap cat? Look no further than me. I am Ditto, a 3 yr. old neutered male cat who gets along with kids and is litter trained. You'd better hurry soon. A catch like me won't be here for long ~ I just know I'm going to find a home very soon.

C29649   My name is Mama Fuzz, and I am a beautiful grey torti.  I’m 2 years old and not yet spayed.  I came in with three of my babies who all found wonderful homes and now I am all alone!  Please come visit me – I just crave attention and love.

ADOPTED  C29447   My name is Roger, a 5 yr. old neutered male cat who may appear scary when I stretch and arch my back but don't believe it for one minute. I am actually a very sweet and mellow fellow~ hey I didn't know I could rhyme. See you what you get when you adopt me. Check me out!

C29776   My name is Angel – can’t you tell from my beautiful picture?    I’m a 3 year old spayed female who is also front declawed.  I would be best as an only cat.  I am a big, sweet girl who’s just looking for an owner to love me.  One look in those baby blues and you will be hooked!

ADOPTED  D14617   I am a 5-6 year old male German shepherd.  I came in as a stray, so the staff doesn’t know too much about me.  I’m not neutered and seem to get along well with the other dogs here.  I walk very nice on a leash – I’m one who likes to stop and smell the roses.  How about you?

 

This young, female gerbil would make a great first pet for someone young or old.  She loves climbing around the tunnels in her cage and is quite entertaining to watch!
