WHY SECURE YOUR DOG IN YOUR CAR? This month we've received more than one call from pet guardians who are missing their dogs because they jumped out of the car and ran. WHAT TO DO? Secure your dog with a doggy seat belt! It won't be able to run from your car AND it won't be a flying projectile in the unfortunate case of an accident.
ARF can help you with this! Please give us a call or stop by on the weekend.

FREE event this Sunday at 2:00. Please join us!
