Join the ARL and Crime Alert Berks to stop animal abuse. Below are several of the posters that have been placed around the county. Feel free to copy them and place them in your area:
The ARL extends a huge thank you to the Skyline Corvette Club. We had a great turnout for the Vettes Cruisin' for Pets despite the hot weather. For the past three years, Linda Spangenberg organized the event and did a terrific job. Thanks to club chairwoman, Kathy Schneider, with husband John. Thanks everyone else who stopped by!
The ARL expresses our thanks to the Pedaling4Paws group who chose us as their only Berks County stop on their way to the Canada border to raise money for shelters on their bike route from West Chester to Ogdensburg, New York. Safe travels!
ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE SERVICE AREAS As of January 1, 2009
the Animal Rescue League services all of Berks County. The
Animal Rescue League now contracts with Pennsylvania State
Dog Law Enforcement as the primary contractor for stray dogs
in all of Berks County, including the City of Reading.
The Animal Rescue League is also the contracted provider of Animal Control Services for all of Berks County, including the City of Reading, with the exception of the Boroughs of Bally and Strausstown, and the Townships of Hereford, North Heidelberg, Perry, Upper Bern, and Upper Tulpehocken. These two boroughs and five townships have not contracted with any provider for Animal Control Services. However, the Animal Rescue League will still respond to reports for stray dogs and injured animals in these areas. The Animal Rescue League is the primary source for all animal abuse and animal cruelty complaints, which may be reported on our website (www.berksarl.org/cruelty.htm) or via telephone at 610-373-8830. The Animal Rescue League continues to be the only shelter in Berks County equipped to handle large animal rescue as it has for over twenty years.

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. BEHAVIOR HELP 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.
