They need you! Unlike animals from a retail store, the pets in our shelter are not guaranteed a future and yet are just as deserving of one.
You could save hundreds of dollars on your new pet! It is almost always more cost effective for you to adopt an animal from the ARL than buy one from a store. Typically puppies and kittens from retail stores are not spayed or neutered, do not have their needles and require training and socialization. On the other hand, pets from the ARL are often already spayed or neutered, have been needled, have already received any special medical attention they may require, and in some cases are already trained and socialized.
You support your own community by adopting from the ARL! Over the last decade or so the stray population in our area has increased dramatically, creating safety and sometimes public health problems. By adopting from our shelter you are not only giving these animals a second chance, but are also helping us clean up our community and keep it safe.
