THE A.R.N.I. FOUNDATION
The ARNI Foundation (Animal/Need/Rescue/Intervention) is a wonderful organization based in Central Florida. They rescue approximately 100 animals per month from cruel ownership or certain euthanasia. Many of these animals require extensive medical attention. After they are nursed back to health, they are adopted into loving homes, with spaying/neutering done at no cost to the new owner. ARNI also provides a low cost spay/neuter mobile for low income families. Volusia, Flagler and Putnam Counties all benefit by the bus coming directly into their communities on designated dates. Their dedication to animals does not stop with dogs and cats. Please check their website to see who else is available for adoption, including Premarin Foals. These foals are rescued from slaughterhouses in Canada and are driven back to Florida for adoption into loving homes. There are currently two projects in the works. The first consists of training rescued dogs for handicapped people, which will then be donated to them. The second is Rocky's House. Many dogs are euthanized when their masters die and have nowhere else to go. At Rocky's House they will either be adopted into loving homes, or spend the remainder of their lives.
NORTH FLORIDA PAWS
Their mission is to educate the public about humane care and the protection of animals, whether pets, domestic, livestock or wildlife. They participate in many fundraisers for local rescue groups as well as have petfood collections. One goal that is in the preparation stages is a Low Cost Spay And Neuter Mobile to service the North Central Florida area. Many local rescue groups have benefited by joining their yahoogroup when needing assistance to move their homeless animals to their forever homes. They also help children with their Storytime Reading Project. This is where dogs are brought into schools to help children that hate to read become competent and confident readers.
