Jake

arfshack on May 5th 2008

Jake and his brother Elwood were brought to us by a lady who rescued them from a field. They were scared and skittish but ready to learn some canine manners so they could find great homes. So, we took them through obedience class and taught them how to do all the basic stuff. The only thing they needed was their very own family to love. Jake has found his forever family with Raul and Sally in Orlando. They called me and said they were missing their boy who had just passed away and they really wanted to find a 4 legged guy to spoil. Well, a match destined to work out was started. Jake needed spoiling and who better than Raul and Sally. So Jake moved in, (this picture shows him getting treats at his new home) took over the house and the rest is … a great story. Thanks to Raul and Sally for loving our boy.

Parker’s story…
Parker was found in a park with a broken leg when he was 12 weeks old. The couple who found him were nice enough to pay to have his leg fixed and nursed him back to health. Unfortunately, they could not keep him. So they brought him to us. He is now 1 year old and sweet as can be. He loves to have his belly scratched. He is attending basic obedience classes, as do all ARF shack family members. He is neutered has all of his shots. He is a love, there is no other way to describe him. he just smiles from the inside out and makes you want to smile back. Can you return his forever smile?

Blue’s story…
Blue is a 1 1/2 yr old male Am Staf. he is named Blue because he has one crystal blue eye and one black one. he is the kind of dog that you just can’t stop hugging and kissing. He knows basic commands. He has grown up with another dog and is cat and kid friendly. He is crate and house trained. He is a very special boy. Mike, his owner, is heart broken but due to unfortunate circumstances Mike has to move out of his house and into an apartment. As we know as sweet as Blue is he is the victim of discrimination. His breed is not permitted. Can you give this lap dog a loving home. He will give you never ending love devotion and kisses in return.

BSL in Florida Do Something

arfshack on Mar 20th 2008

Dear Florida Animal Advocates,

A new state bill before your House of Representatives, HB 101, would allow any Florida community or city to adopt regulations that target or ban specific dog breeds.

While there is no evidence that breed-specific laws reduce dog attacks or increase public safety, there is significant evidence that well-enforced, breed neutral laws do. The ASPCA believes that breed-specific legislation provides communities with a false sense of security, fails to protect the public and penalizes responsible dog owners.

What You Can Do
Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to send an email to your state representative urging him or her to oppose this groundless legislation.

Please remember that legislators get a lot of email, and the addition of your own thoughts on this topic will make your email stand out to your representative.

Thank you, Florida, for helping animals and supporting the ASPCA.

Frenchie and Rizzo

arfshack on Mar 15th 2008

Rizzo and Frenchie

Laurie and Jim Grubbs are long term friends of the A.R.F Shack. They adopted Rizzo the Jack Russell about 8 years ago and Frenchie the Basenchi last year. Rizzo jumped in my car when I stopped to buy lemonade from some kids around the Waccissa river. Laurie and Jim fell in love with her. I found Frenchie last year roaming the highway in front of a local spring and called them immediately to see if Rizzo needed a friend. They keep eachother and Laurie and Jim very busy, entertained and happy in Tallahassee.

Killian Success2

 

We are so happy that Killian has found a new home in Lake City and a new friend in his fellow Siberian Allie. He lived with us for 3 years and all who knew him fell in love with his stoic manner and peaceful nature. We could never understand why we could not find him the perfect home. Now we know it is because we had not met H.W., Betty and Allie yet. To them we say thank you for loving our boy. We wish all of you lots of warm Siberian snuggles.
