EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT
As you can see
from the pictures the expansion and renovation project is moving
along on schedule at the Animal Rescue League. The photos show the
new front entrance and the side of the addition, but there are many
more changes that are also taking place.
New kennel
additions, a new larger parking lot and improved driveway are just
waiting for spring so the finish coat of blacktop can be applied,
the boarding area has a new kitchen and cat boarding is being
relocated and improved, grooming is being relocated and improved to
make room for a new cat quarantine room, the cat room is being
expanded, a critter room is being added, the kennel kitchen is being
upgraded with a commercial dishwasher, and all of the kennels are
being upgraded with new fencing.
All of this is
being accomplished while we handle more animals then ever before.
Thanks to the greatest staff anywhere in animal rescue there has
been no impact on any of the animals.
Keep checking back
for additional photos as the work continues and for information on
other improvements such as a larger cat room, a new critter room,
and improved areas to serve you on your visits.
We will also be
listing details of our capital campaign and of the many naming
opportunities that will be offered.

ANNOUNCEMENT
ARL
IS REDUCING THE ADOPTION FEE OF SPAYED & NEUTERED CATS
TO $25.00.
Our goal is to find more
homes for the many cats we receive especially during
"kitten season". There are many cats who are already
spayed and neutered. By reducing the cost, we hope to
find more homes for the many, many cats we get in.

In conjunction with the Matthew J.
Ryan Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, the ARL is pleased to announce an effort to help people with their
pet's behavioral problems before considering surrendering their
pets.
If you are thinking about
surrendering your pet due to a behavioral problem that you
don't think you can handle, the University of PA Behavior
Clinic is offering assistance to those by allowing a
professional from the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital to
help guide and offer solutions to your problem(s).
The contact information is as
follows. Please allow at least 2 days for a response.
The Animal Rescue League is
offering 2 senior citizens per month half off the
adoption fee of a dog or cat . The only qualifications you
need to meet are approval of your adoption application and
you are serious about adopting a pet.
This special offer is
brought to you by one of our volunteers and fellow
adoptees. On behalf of the ARL, we thank him for his
generosity.
