PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Spring 2010

Dear Members and Friends,

Welcome to the ARF Website! Launched in December 2009, we are very heartened by the response from our members, and appreciate all the feedback. Spring has arrived in the Hamptons, and with it new delights and challenges.

The warm weather brings out fleas and ticks, so the staff makes sure that every dog and cat gets flea and tick preventative. As the weather gets even warmer, we must watch closely to be sure no animals overheat. This is something that all pet owners should be aware of—especially if you are leaving a pet in a car. Click here for our hot weather tips.

Spring also brings kittens. Volunteers with the Operation Cat program are busy rescuing kittens from under decks, in window wells—you name it—kittens show up! In a few weeks we will have several litters of kittens available for adoption. All ARF animals are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and checked by our veterinarian. To see our new kittens go to View Our Pets.

Spring also is the season when our fundraising events begin, starting with Pet Celebration Day here at the state-of-the-art Adoption Center. To find out how you can participate in our events and help raise much needed funds for ARF, go to Events.

Please visit our website frequently, we update it weekly and ARF is now on Facebook, become a fan.

Thank you for caring about animals!

Best Wishes,
