AARF Adoption Event Coming to Inman Park Pet Works

Atlanta, GA – May 13, 2006.  AARF (Atlanta Animal Rescue Friends, Inc.) is coming to Inman Park Pet Works on Saturday, May 20 from 11:00 to 2:00. One of Atlanta’s premier animal rescue groups, they will be bringing some of their rescued pets looking for wonderful, loving homes.  

“Providing a venue and an opportunity for people and adoptable pets to come together is the most satisfying part of our business,” said Laura Saunders, owner of Inman Park Pet Works. “Years ago, I started my career with the SPCA in Los Angeles as a foster parent and volunteer. I learned how desperate the continuous need is for large-hearted people to help. Knowing you’ve saved a life and brought love into your own is priceless.” 

AARF's biggest need is always foster parents! They always have a list of pets waiting to come into the AARF program, and are limited primarily by the number of foster homes available. Fostering is a rewarding way to help homeless pets. As a foster parent, you will watch amazing transformations in your foster pet as he/she becomes healthy, confident and ready for a forever home. Being present at the happy endings of adoptions are one of the most rewarding volunteer experiences you can have.  If you would like to volunteer to assist their program in any way, contact AARF at info@aarfatlanta.org.
