| Something to think about: "...saving just one pet won't change the world...but surely the world will change for that one pet..." |

Thank you to all the volunteers and foster Mums and Dads who are helping this season.
We cannot save these animals without your help.
A special thanks to Publisher and Editor of El Coqui: Rhea Maxwell
who donates space in the publication every month to picture an animal for adoption.
As always we will continue to do our best to stop the suffering of these poor animals which are left abandoned in this beautiful town of Rincon.

ARF rescued dogs are all adoptible. ARF is not a shelter nor does it keep animals in its building. Rescued dogs are fostered by its recuerer and these parents can verify that older dogs (5 months and older) are sociable and have agreeable temperment. ARF ensure that all animals ready for adoption are immunized, dewormed and, if age appropriate, are spayed/neutered and heartworm negative. All the dogs and cats that are available for adoption are friendly and get along with other animals and families, and don't have tendencies toward resource guarding, history of biting or aggressiveness. One of ARF's mission is to offer the best and healthiest dog or cat who can be adopted into lifelong loving homes. Foster parents are people who truly care and go out of their way to make sure a dog or cat receives vet care, treat their charges with compassion, and housetrain them. A small adoption fee of $25 helps to cover medical cost.
When chosing a dog, it is best to avoid preconception of a model dog. Behavior is more important. A high level of sociability will contribute more to a dog's success in a home. ARF ensures that the rescued mixed-breed dogs and cats really like people and want to be with them. They are affectionate, congeinal and bond easily and strongly. These dogs are more fun to be with and cause the least worry to live with. A social, outgoing and friendly dog is the least likely to be aggressive. This is the best reason to adopt an ARF dog!
By the same token, it is important that you, as the adopting family, realize that a dog needs structure. You, as the owner, must teach your new pet the rules of the house. You must set parameters, stick to routines and then give affection. This will ensure that pet and family both know what is expected of them and everyone will get along together. Bonding with your pet is an important step to ensuring a loyal pet.

This male chihuahua-mix is available for adoption. When rescued, he and his sisters were emaciated, bitten by dogs, flea infested and seems to have been abused by a male. With the care of the Aguada Medical Clinic and the foster parents, Dicci and Mitch, the puppies recuperated!
Today, Peter is a handsome 10 month old male whose body still show faint scars of his ordeal. He's neutered, immunized, dewormed and gets along with other dogs and cats. But Peter is still painfully shy with humans although NOT aggressive in any way. Peter needs a permanent home of his own with adults who will help him regain his trust in mankind. If you are that special family, then please give Peter your home. Call ARF today at 787-823-7167.

| This female Mama dog looks like a Dalmation mix (although she recently gave birth to 2 puppies that looked like boxers and one that looked like a pitt bull mix). She is about 1 year old, is heartworm negative, spayed and immunizaed. She is obedient, walks without a leash and comes when called. She gets along with other dogs, kids and adults. During the day she plays with dog companions in an enclosed yard and at night sleeps in an enclosed porch. If you would like to adopt Mama, please call ARF at 787-823-7167. |
