Animal Rescue Force

Winter 2022

Dear Volunteers, Adopters & Friends,

After two years of living the pandemic life, we have finally come back to some normalcy. Our adoption centers have gone back to allowing walk-ins, instead of just scheduling appointments. We have started to get some fundraisers up and running again, such as bagging at ShopRite, local fairs, can shaking and our annual Tricky Tray.  However, we have seen new sets of obstacles as people are going back to work, more and more cats and dogs are being given up.  Also, inflation has caused our vet bills to go up and this is also causing people to give up their elderly pets that they just can’t afford to give the care needed.

Yardie came in as a stray to a local shelter, Animal Rescue Force took her in and found out she was approximately 12 years old, testing eventually showed she had bladder cancer.  Taking care of the seniors is costly and many of the ones that have come through need medical tests, dentals and/or other procedures. 

While there is still a lot of uncertainty, we know that we need to adapt fast to our ever-changing reality.  Now, more than ever, the animals need us. And we need you.  As we move towards the holidays, we ask once again for your generosity in helping us care for these pets awaiting homes. It’s because of your donations that dogs like Yardie were able to get the vet care needed and find the loving home she deserves in her golden years.  You can donate by credit card and see our adoptable pets by visiting our website, www.animalrescueforceinc.com or check out our social media for updates and photos of our adoptable pets at www.facebook.com/AnimalRescueForceInc.

We at Animal Rescue Force wish you and your fur kids all a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year.  Thank you from ARF and the cats and dogs waiting for their forever homes.                                            

Sincerely,

Susan Ragland
