Thanks to everyone who came out on Sunday!

JOIN US... for the 10th Annual Animal Rescue Fair and Pet Adoptions (ARF). On Sunday June 13, 2010, the event will be held at the covered arena at Wills Park Equestrian Center in Alpharetta, Georgia. ARF has grown to over 4000 attendees, and is the largest pet adoption and educational family fun day in Georgia. Attendees, rescue groups and vendors come from the southeastern United States including Florida, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama not to mention the entire State of Georgia. People stay and spend time learning about the animals, their needs, available pet products and services in the community. With the Atlanta metro area having one of the highest kill rates for pets in shelters, we hope to be able to reach more people, secure more adoptions and spread the word about animals available for adoption reducing the number of animals killed in shelters.

Sunday June 13, 2010, 12-noon to 5 pm

Karen Handel, leading GOP contender for the office of Governor of Georgia, will make an appearance too!

It's also about information on animals, vendors, education and entertainment.

FREE PARKING

Admission is Free, but a donation of a bag of pet food (Purina preferred dog, cat, horse) for Daffy's Pet Soup Kitchen and Fido's Soup Kitchen who provides pet food and supplies to those in need during these difficult economic times. Our goal is to help families keep their pets rather than give them away or take them to animal control because of lack of food. We believe the best place for the pet is with its family and the best thing for the family is to keep their faithful companion.
