Ari Had A Dream, Inc.

Description

We are a one-of-a-kind dog sanctuary where dogs reside in a home, on campus, with the ability to move freely throughout the home and play areas. Each dog enjoys social activities and exercise appropriate to its age and availability.

OUR GOALS are:
1.To reduce the number of homeless pets euthanized, abandoned or surrendered to high-kill shelters.
2. To provide a safe, nurturing environment for dogs who have lost their homes because their elderly owners can no longer care for them (the Care 4 Life program).
3. To provide temporary care for canine companions of military personnel on deployment when there is no other responsible person to care for the pet (the Military Muttz program).
4. To maintain the human-animal bond, however and whenever possible by letters, photos, Skype or arranged visits.
5. To keep bonded pets together.
6. To honor the pet owner's wish that the pet (1) remains at the sanctuary for the rest of its life; (2) that the pet is re-homed with a new family; or, (3) that the pet is fostered by another senior citizen who has lost his/her pet.
