It's Crazy!
In the last two weeks we have taken many puppies and kittens into ARFP foster homes! It's been a zoo. We have spayed or neutered 21 puppies and kittens in the last two weeks. We have events and more events planned all the way up until Christmas! Somewhere in between we have to fit Thanksgiving in!
The economy is hurting everyone and with the holidays approaching we are afraid it will be worse. The number of calls we receive about animals needing help is at an all time high! We feel blessed that we can help all of the animals that we are able to. We have you to thank for that! Our supporters make this possible.
I'll post pictures tomorrow of some of the little ones we have been able to help this Fall due to your support! In our book, you rock!

Good Golly Mr. Ollie!
Meet Ollie! Ollie came to ARFP via the local After Hours Veterinary Emergency Clinic where he was abandoned. Here is the story. He lived in Atlanta Georgia - yea, he's a peach - until his owner was arrested. At that point a friend of the owner brought Ollie to Greensboro, NC. She could not keep him so she dropped him inside the front door of the emergency clinic and....RAN!!! Fortunately one of the veteranary technicians caught up with her and got Ollie's low down!
Ollie is declawed on all four feet, neutered, and up to date on all his shots! Oliie is between 8 and 10 months of age. He is a sweetheart and he is ready for adoption!

It takes a village...
This summer was hot and brutal, then it was gone, just like that, overnight. We are not complaining though. Hopefully with it went the diseases, the Parvo, and the parasites! We dealt with 16 cases of Parvovirus this year. Unfortunately the strain this year was very deadly and we lost 7 puppies we were helping. It was stressful and horrific but there are so many more that need our help.
Every single day we receive numerous e-mails and phone calls about puppies and kittens.
How can you help?
* Learn how you can become a foster parent.
* Donate dry dog and cat food.
* Collect purses, books or gently worn denim.
* Become a Facebook friend and "share" our postings and flyers.
* Post flyers at your work place, daycare, or grocery store.

Thanks to Aveda in Hanes Mall, Winston Salem, NC
August 21st was International Homeless Animals Day and, one again, Aveda invited ARFP to come to their Hanes Mall location to raise money to help homeless animals!
We had a fun day with Holly, Reese, Ally and Tess. Many thanks to Cory, Karen, Caitlin, and Jenny for helping at the event all afternoon. Thanks also to Tess and Allys foster parents, Cindy & David, for dropping them off so that they could be part of the celebration!
The day was a success and money was raised to help more homeless animals in need.
Thank you Aveda for giving back to your community!

Amber...Full Circle
This was Amber last summer. We rescued her from a shelter in Lee County. She came to us with nine puppies and she was practically emaciated. Five days later she broke with Parvo. Amber almost did not live to see this day.
Once Amber's puppies were weaned and distributed to different foster homes Amber, too, was sent to a new foster home, one that would love her, and give her the attention she so desperately needed. She developed into a beautiful dog that we labeled a Collie mix. Her true colors came out once Amber was in a home without her puppies. She liked people but was not sure whom to trust. Children made her nervous. She loved the company of other dogs. She grew to trust all of the ARFP volunteers that she would see each week at adoption events.
She just could not find that one person, outside of her foster dad, whom she could trust 100%. Last Monday she met Vicky. Vicky was looking for a companion dog that needed help. One that needed someone special to love them. She met Amber and it was touch and go at first but Vicky could see that Amber needed someone like her and that she needed a dog like Amber.
Amber has been with Vicky since Saturday and things could not be going more perfect. Amber is walking on a leash with her tail held up proudly, she is not using her crate, and she is looking at Vicky as her person.
Fingers and toes are crossed with the hope that this is Ambers forever home!
