Meet Icee Mae!

Hi! My name is Icee Mae! If you’re a regular at Walks and Wags, you’ve probably seen me hanging out in the play yard. Did you know that I’m an ARF dog, and I’m searching for my FOREVER family? Nothing would make me happier than finding a family in time for Christmas.

I’m going to need a very special family—one with a lot of vitality. I am a bundle of energy and I love to play, play, play and play some more! Although I am fully house trained and crate trained, I get a bit uncomfortable when left alone for long periods. My favorite things are playing ball outside, swimming, running in the grass and playing with children.

I am a Terrier mix and am approximately 2 to 3 years old (Jan. 2011). I am heartworm negative, up to date on shots and I’m spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting me, please contact us ARF at 251-478-9743 or email info@animalrescuemobile.org. You can also ask the pack at Walks and Wags about me!

There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays!

It’s time for Animal Rescue Foundation’s Holiday Foster Program! 

What is the Holiday Foster Program?

The program started as an idea several years ago to empty the kennels at the ARFanage to give the hard working volunteers an opportunity to spend the holidays with their loved ones without worrying about the ARFans alone on Christmas. No one at ARF knew how good it would feel to have all of the ARFans in a home at Christmas…an unexpected benefit, and the program stuck! 

ARF wants to find holiday homes again this year and all of us at Walks and Wags want to help!  You see, for some dogs at the ARFanage, they’ve never known the feeling of stretching out for a nap in the warm afternoon sun on the living room rug or snuggling in someone’s arms after a lunch of turkey and cheese sandwiches. The attention given by the foster families is good for the souls of dogs and people alike. 

If you would like to participate in ARF’s holiday foster program, please email Lynn Carter or visit ARF’s website. Please note holiday foster program on the application, along with the dog you’re interested in fostering. 

All dogs should be picked up from the ARFanage by 5:00pm on December 23^rd  and returning starting any time after noon on December 26^th. Your foster doggy is welcome to stay with you through the New Year…or longer.

As always, thank you for your support of ARF. May your holidays be blessed with peace, love, and joy.
