Happy Holidays from ARF-LA

ONLY 1 DAY LEFT TO MAKE A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION TO ARF-LA!!!!

You are probably starting to think about pulling together your information to do the dreaded tax return for 2012.  Not a happy subject!  But you can make it a little more palatable by making an extra special donation to ARF-LA as we end this year.  It will help our ARFans SO MUCH and it will lessen the sting of the pain of paying Uncle Sam!!!

 I know that you know our tireless work to rescue, provide medical care, and then to re-home the companion pets of Acadiana.  In every stray, or pull from death row, or owner surrender, there is always a story of sadness, but then comes the wonderful story of the redemption of that dog and the happiness of putting it into the arms of a new loving, fur-ever family.  This tale is repeated over and over again during the year, as we take in new “saves” and adopt out the healthy ones.  BECAUSE YOU HELP US, we are able to help them.  YOU are a part of every saved animal’s life and you can be proud to know that you have helped to change not only a dog’s life, but a family’s life as well!



Won't you be

their ARFangel 

this Christmas?

We receive Christmas cards and Halloween, Easter and Valentine greetings with pictures of the adopted ARFan, dressed up – front and center – a member of the family.  And then we KNOW that the world has changed for that pet! 



Everyone talks about doing something to make our little corner of the world a better place, but with your help, ARF-LA is really doing it!  Please help us to continue to do it.  You can go directly to our web site at www.arfla.org and go to the “Donate” button to place a PayPal or Credit Card donation to us, which goes directly to our bank account.  Or, if you prefer, date your check before Dec 31^st, and drop it into the mail addressed to P. O. Box 53501, Lafayette, LA 70505.   The tax deduction will come to you for 2012.

We promise we won’t spend your dollars on frivolous things.  EVERY DOLLAR goes directly to caring for the more than 100 dogs that ARF has in our adoption system at any given time.  Supporting LOCAL organizations keeps your money in our local economy and we appreciate that!

Thank you for caring …. And for sharing!

May you have a wonderfully prosperous and a very happy 2013!!
