Urgent!
Mama Girl
ARNO needs your help NOW more than ever! Vet expenses have skyrocketed with the influx of animals coming in due to the oil spill. Added vet expenses of $2,000 just this past week allowed ARNO to get nine death row dogs out of a municipal shelter in Laplace, Louisiana, and three ARNO dogs. All were were selected by the LA/SPCA to go to St. Hubert's in Madison, NJ and their placement partners in the northeast. The transport was arranged and paid for by HSUS with help from a grant from PetFinder.com and included 107 healthy dogs from shelters deluged with surrenders from the effects of the spill.
Mamma Girl was just one of the dogs escaping death row and transported to St. Hubert's in New Jersey.
The good people at St. Hubert's were ready and waiting! Check out their website and see their work and glee to help Louisiana shelters... may God bless them all for their assistance! This is extraordinary for 107 dogs to be saved and headed to loving homes.
Please help us continue to operate and help the homeless animals of our area. Consider making even a $15 donation on our website through PayPal.
Our doors must remain open during a time when the animals need us more than ever. YOU as a donor, adoptor and/or volunteer have allowed us to rehab, rehealth and rehome 6,100 wonderful pets since opening our shelter in March of 2006.
A Big Thanks to Dan Rea/Nightside at WBZ in Boston
Dan started the ball rolling with his Nightside broadcast allowing ARNO’s CEO to speak on his station, a CBS affiliate reaching 38 states during Nightside’s broadcast. Dan was the first broadcaster to take note of the tragedy suffered by companion animals because of the oil spill. We are extremely grateful to Dan, his producer Bradley, and CBS affiliate WBZ for their compassion to homeless animals and pets losing their home because of this man-made disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Dan’s broadcast led to MSNBC, Anderson Cooper, and CNN and many other members of national media picking up on this tragedy effecting our four-legged friends. These pets, through no fault of their own, are losing their beloved families. Consider dropping Dan a note of thanks so he knows how much his work for pets everywhere is appreciated.
Watch for People Magazine issue coming up this month!
People NY photographer Bryan Humphries, native of Austin, as he starts the shoot on Lise and Boy for People.
ARNO’s Lise McComiskey and her beloved, red-zone dog Boy (who took two years to bring in from the streets) are to be featured in People. Lise is ARNO’s feral dog rehab coordinator and the best darn animal tracker in the state. ARNO started a feral dog program immediately after Katrina because so many pets had turned feral [wild] in order to survive. Once our program was well on its way, we realized that feral dogs, considered unadoptables in shelters across the country, needed help to gain a second chance. ARNO, and two other organizations in the country, are the ONLY feral dog rehabilitators. Locally the LA/SPCA is working with ARNO to insure feral dogs and pups get a chance at a home through ARNO’s rehab program.
Here’s hoping our People exposure brings us gadzillions of new friends and donors… pick up a copy to support the magazine that supports people like our Lise… hey, we can get Lise to autograph it for you!
