Arrival Story:
I read an article about ARF in the newspaper. They had recently moved from a small compound to a larger one and they were in need of assistance, on many levels. I wanted to help. I pulled up the website and planned to donate some money or sponsor a dog, and possibly volunteer my time to help when possible.
Well, they have all their dogs up on PetFinders and I had a look. When I came to his picture and bio I was immediately drawn to him. I was not planning on adopting, but 2 dogs caught my attention. I looked at his bio and pictures countless times and knew in my heart he was waiting for me. I made an appointment to visit him at the shelter and adopted him. He makes me smile. His happiness is contagious! He is pure pleasure on paws.
Bio:
Dunkin had been in a kill shelter in another county and he was on the euthanasia list--not long for this world. The folks at ARF took him in. ARF is a no kill shelter.
He had been at the ARF facility for some time and I simply couldn't figure why he had not been adopted right away. Well, now I know--he was being kept as a special gift and blessing for me. I couldn't be more proud.

A Way Home
It was a week before Christmas and Elizabeth decided to take a drive to look at the holiday lights. Not far away from her country home was a residential area known as Candy Cane Lane. Driving through Candy Cane Lane had been a family tradition and one rarely missed since the children were little.
Her three kids were grown now, with children of their own and Elizabeth was looking forward to spending Christmas with her eldest son and his family. Elizabeth's children would be there, as would all her grandchildren.
It was a cold night and as Elizabeth put her coat and scarf on, Dandy, her little Miniature Pinscher ran up to her, barking and dancing on his hind legs. From the coat rack she grabbed Dandy's warm jacket. Panting and grinning he waited until he was dressed and as soon as Elizabeth snapped his leash on, he was ready--front paws marching in place. "Lets go!" Elizabeth said with a smile.
In thirty minutes Elizabeth was pulling onto the first street alight with sparkling colors and animated characters. With only the parking lights on Elizabeth drove slowly, joining the throng of adults and children looking around in awe. Recalling how her children had never grown tired of taking this drive, she smiled fondly. After losing her husband it had been lonely, but she had her faith, the love of friends from her church and, Dandy, her constant companion.
The little red dog's face was gazing out, his warm breath fogging the lower half of the side window. Elizabeth turned the defroster on, clearing the windows, blowing warm air around the two of them. "So beautiful!" she thought. She turned the radio on and Christmas carols add |
