_TASHA-is a victim of a divorce. She and her mother were uprooted from their home. Both were sent to a shelter . Mom got adopted and Tasha stayed about 1 month. She became depressed and was due to be euthanized. We are boarding her ,unfortunately, because we have no foster to take her in until she gets adopted. She is a 6 y.o. Pit Bull Terrier mix. She is spayed and current on shots. She is very intelligent and sweet. She is strong and active so she should go to an adult home or one where there are teens. She is beautiful. She rolls over on her back for a tummy rub. The boarding staff really love her. Please ,if you are interested in fostering Tasha or adopting her, contact Hope at 215 322 9251 voicemail 2. The boarding kennel is a caring place but if she is there too long, she will lose her spirit again and become depressed. WE DON''T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN!

UPDATE - We are still boarding Tasha. It has been months. She is a great dog and it would break our hearts if we gave her back to her former owner who most likely will have her euthanized. We haven't heard from her former owner and we are very surprised that he has never called to ask about her. This is a man who raised Tasha from a pup and did rescue her from a dangerous situation.TASHA IS A GREAT DOG!She does become depressed behind bars.She is an active 6 y.o. pit bull mix who is spayed and current on shots.The wonderful staff at the kennel thinks Tasha is sweet, intelligent. and loving. She is full of life and fun.In handling her , the staff agrees that she is a real "people "dog . She is so happy when she is being walked. Tasha needs to be in a home environment. She is obedient. She should be the only pet. Tasha would be a very devoted and wonderful companion to whomever would love and nurture her- a single person or an adult family because she is very strong and may throw over small children when she showers them with kisses. If you met Tasha, you would love her. Oh how she loves her belly rubbed ! Please consider fostering or adopting Tasha before her spirit is broken. Foster home should have fenced yard and no other pets in / or surrounding the home.

MOLLY AND MURPHY NEED YOUR HELP!!



(9/12)MURPHY HAS BEEN ADOPTED






Molly is a 2-3 yr old spayed female Treeing Walker Coonhound. She is current on all shots and has been wormed. Molly is very gentle,sweet and loving. She is quiet and laidback in disposition. Molly was rescued from a busy highway in NC by a couple with a 2 yr old son. She was excellent with the little boy and is fine with other dogs. Molly will need a fenced yard so she can be free to run and play with her toys. She will only be adopted as an indoor family member.

MACY NEEDS A NEW HOME!!!





Macy's owners have to reluctantly give her up because Macy is too nervous around the young child in the family. Macy is very anxious when the child plays. As you can see , Macy is a real beauty. She is an Italian Greyhound/Terrier mix. She is 5 years old, spayed and current on shots. The owners know she loves adults but don't know if she is good with other animals , since she hasn't lived with them. She is totally housebroken and non destructive. She loves to play and also enjoys her rest times. It sounds as though Macy would make a very good companion in an adult home.

If you would like to adopt one of our animals, please click below to receive an application.
Adoption Application

If you wish to foster or surrender a pet, we will, upon your email request, send you the proper form. Please complete it ASAP and email it back (with the pet's picture, if you can scan the photo). If not, email the form and snail mail the pic to: Animal Rescue and Referral, PO Box 16, Richboro, Pa 18954. As soon as we get both the form and the pic , we will list your pet on our site. We request a donation fee of $15 to handle your case (this is optional). We will handle your case even without the donation. This money covers an ad in a local paper and the rest goes to help homeless animals who need medical attention. This fee is non-refundable and is not a guarantee of placement. We are also not responsible for housing the pet in some facility if you can no longer hold onto the pet. Please let us know if you would like us to handle your case. Remember, we don't have a facility. If you need one in a hurry, please contact us at 215 322 9251 voicemail 2 and you will be referred to some no- kill shelters.

PLEASE IF YOU CAN'T ADOPT CONSIDER FOSTERING! BELOW ARE OUR MOST URGENT ANIMALS.

Animal Rescue And Referral wants you to be a part of our rescue family. We have lots of things that we can use help with, such as transporting, home checks, final adoptions, and answering phones. We also are in need of foster homes and people who can do fund raisers. You can help us save animals.

Who We Are

Animal Rescue & Referral, Inc., founded in 1996, is a nonprofit organization of caring animal lovers who help find homes for unwanted or homeless dogs and cats. We also educate the public on animal-related topics, participate in spay/neuter programs, network with pure-breed and mixed-breed rescue groups, and provide advice and resources for pet owners. We also believe that education will help us battle the ever-growing problems of animal abuse, puppy mills and pet overpopulation.

A.R.R. has also established a feral cat rescue network. Statistics show that up to 19 million feral cats are living in America. These helpless cats risk being killed by automobiles or can die from starvation, disease, or even torture. It is our hope that by creating a network of caring individuals we will be able to humanely trap, transport, sterilize and provide veterinary care for these creatures.

If you would like to have your pet posted on this web site, fill out a surrender form. For further assistance or any questions you can email or call us. Should we find a good match, we will call you to make arrangements to meet with you and the prospective adopter. WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER. Animal Rescue & Referral, Inc. also networks with other humane groups, places pets in foster care, and boards them on occasion.

Owner Referral dogs have generally NOT been evaluated by ARR and information about these dogs comes directly from the owners. Many of these dogs are being given up because the owners do not have time for the animal, the prior owner has died, the owners are divorcing and moving to a place where they cannot take a pet, etc. We are providing a means for these owners to expose their dogs to a wider audience of potential adopters than would otherwise be available.


The Shelter Dogs

Another source of dogs available for adoption comes from referrals to area shelters. Many humane societies and SPCAs keep us apprised of the dogs at their facilities. These dogs are posted with the shelter phone number. Please call the shelter before visiting to ensure that the dog listed is still available and to check about hours, adoption procedures, etc. These adoptions do not involve ARR and all terms of adoption will be between you and the shelter.


Other Rescue Organizations

We also list dogs for other rescue organizations in the tri-state area. Because there are so many animals in need of a new home, many different rescue organizations exist in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. If we do not have a dog that matches a potential adopter's needs, or if that adopter is geographically more conveniently located to another rescue, we will refer the adopter to a volunteer with that group who can assist him or her in finding a dog. Dogs listed from other groups will have contact information for that group listed with the pets description.

Please remember though, this would be a different organization and anyone who chooses to adopt through a rescue other than ARR, would be required to follow and comply with that rescue's adoption procedures, including completing all of the necessary paperwork and payment of all applicable fees for that rescue.

Prospective adopters are screened to insure the success of their new pet adoption. The perfect adopter is one that is committed and humanely responsible. Veterinarian references are preferred but not always necessary. If you have lots of love to give, we want to talk to you!


ADOPTION FEES


Adoption fees will be discussed prior to the adoption process
WE ONLY ADOPT WITHIN A 90 MILE RADIUS OF PHILADELPHIA.
