If you're looking for a new best friend, look no further than Metoo! She's happy to follow you around the house or yard, wherever you go. In fact, she got her name because when some people were looking at another dog in her run at the shelter, Metoo kept jumping and wagging her tail as if to say, "Me, too! Take me, too!" And how could anyone leave those big brown eyes behind?
Visit her page to learn more about
Metoo, or
go to our Dogs for Adoption page to see other
dogs.
Can you believe anyone would leave a cute kitten in a cage out in the hot sun? That's exactly what someone did to Zelda, putting her by the side of a country road in a wire cage with a "FREE KITTEN" sign. By the time a group of ARFP volunteers found her, she could barely lift her head, she was so weak from the heat. But with lots of TLC, she's become a frisky, happy little girl who's ready to find a home that'll never leave her stranded ever again!
Visit her page to learn more about Zelda, or go to our Cats for Adoption page to see other cats.

Due to inclement weather, the Wednesday Night Live
event in Jamestown has been rescheduled for September 24, 2008. Join us
then in downtown Jamestown from 5-8pm for live music, refreshments, and

World Rabies Day Pet Health Fair
On Saturday, September 27, 2008, ARFP will team up with the SPCA of the Triad, FCAP, the After Hours Veterinary Emergency Clinic, and the Guilford Country Department of Public Health for a Pet Health Fair. The event will last from 9am until 1pm at the Glenwood Community Center, 2010 Coliseum Blvd, Greensboro, NC.
The first 750 pets will receive free rabies shots in honor of World Rabies Day. On site microchipping will also be available for $15, and nail trims will be done for $5. Pet owners can also get spay/neuter information and emergency veterinary advice.
For their safety and the safety of others, all dogs should be leashed and all cats should be in carriers.
Save the Date for Books!
Mark your calendars! The annual ARFP book sale has been scheduled for November 14 & 15, 2008. This year's event promises to be even bigger and better than ever. We'll post more details here as they become available.
And, of course, if you have books, DVDs, or CDs to donate to the sale, you can drop them off at the Next Step Adoption Center on Milner Drive in Greensboro during open hours.
Another Way to Help ARFP
Did you know that you can donate to ARFP through United Way? Even though we aren't a listed United Way charity, you can still earmark that your yearly United Way donation go to ARFP.
Got Gold?
How about those old gold rings, necklaces, and bracelets from past relationships? Or Mom's jewelry she thought you'd love, but it's really so outdated it just takes up space in your drawers? Donate it to ARFP! Your old gold could pay for vaccinations for a litter of kittens, spay a mother cat, or treat a dog for heartworms. We are in the midst of kitten and puppy season, therefore in the midst of our costliest time of the year. Your gold can be turned into money for ARFP!
Don't have any gold jewelry? Hit up friends and co-workers to donate theirs! Receipts gladly given!
You knew GoodSearch was a great way to
raise money for ARFP just by searching the Web. But did you know you can
GoodShop, too?
Choose Animal Rescue & Foster Program
as the charity you're supporting on the
GoodShop page. Then go through GoodShop to visit the same online retailers you normally shop at
-- places like PetSmart; Barnes & Noble; Target; Staples; and iTunes -- and pay the same price for
products that you normally would. The retailers will donate a percentage
of your purchase price to ARFP to help us save homeless pets!
If you could help save pets just by doing something you already do
every day, would you? Of course! With GoodSearch, you can. Searching
with GoodSearch is just like searching with Yahoo Search; they both use
the same engine. The only difference is when you designate ARFP as your
charity, GoodSearch donates money to us every time you use it to search
the Web. It doesn't cost anything to use GoodSearch, and there's no
limit to how many times you can search each day.
For 2007, ARFP earned $274 thanks to our supporters who use
GoodSearch. At a penny a search, that's 27,400 searches to save homeless
pets! And you can help us do even better this year!
Learn more about using
GoodSearch to help raise money for ARFP.

Recycle to Help the Earth -- and ARFP!
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it! When you bring your used
cell phones and printer cartridges*, we recycle them -- and get money in
return to help save more homeless pets. So you get to help twice --
first by keeping old cell phones and printer cartridges out of
landfills, and then by helping us raise money to save homeless pets.
You can drop off your old cell phones and printer cartridges at the
Next Step Adoption Center during any open hours.
And spread the news to friends and co-workers by downloading the
attached flyer!
