We visited ARC this past weekend, looking for a shih tzu. Although they did not have one, they referred us to someone who had a small dog looking for a home. While I was there, people came to look at the dogs and the volunteers there individually walked each person to see the animals. It was clean and the volunteers seemed to know each dog by name and background. I was very impressed with ARC and recommend them to anyone wanting to donate $$$ to their good work in helping helpless animals.
