Have you heard about our latest adoption program: Seniors for Seniors? Right now, any approved person 65 years of age or older can adopt a senior cat (animal's age approved by ARI staff) for $40.00. This price includes spaying or neutering, updated vaccines, microchipping and testing. Older cats make excellent companions and are forever grateful for the chance at having a home in their golden years. They also provide comfort and love to someone who otherwise may not have much social interaction. If you're interested in learning more about this program for yourself or someone you know, please contact the rescue at (717) 993-3232. Also, we have several special-needs senior dogs available as well. Call for details.

Keep the Holidays Merry: Protect your Pet
Follow these helpful hints to keep your pets happy and safe during the holiday season!
1.) Anchor your Christmas tree to the wall or ceiling to keep it from falling over thanks to some curious canines or felines. And skip the tinsel and tantalizing ornaments - they may end up in your pet's stomach and cause upset or require surgery. An animal lover's best bet? Keep a small tree on a table with some pretty lights and a nice tree topper. Spray a little bitter spray on the boughs to deter chewing and play. Make sure your pets have plenty of safe toys to distract them from the tree.
2.) Make sure you put holiday leftovers into containers right away - don't leave those tasty treats on the counter - they may cause diarrhea or worse. Instead, look up some tasty, pet-friendly cookie recipes online and make them for your pets. Yum!
 | Sure, it looks pretty. But it looks pretty tasty to pets!
|
3.) Spend the extra cash. It's easy to pick up a toy here and there for your cat or dog, but cheap toys can be easily destroyed. Look for non-destructible toys for dogs, like Kongs and for cats, a large solid ball or a catnip toy will make them much happier than ribbon or twine. Cheap toys and items with string or ribbon can block intestines if ingested, and no one wants to spend Christmas Day in the pet emergency room.
4.) Mistletoe, Holly and Poinsettias are poisonous to pets. Why not go fake instead? You'll save money by using the same decorations year to year, and your pets will most likely ignore the plastic plants.
5.) Play it safe. Make sure your pet has a warm, quiet room to stay in if you're having a holiday party. Set aside a quiet room with fresh water and put your pets in their before the festivities start. They'll appreciate the quiet time.
