Animals of the Month
AUTUMN: At seven years old, Autumn is bursting with personality and ready to bring warmth, companionship, and plenty of entertainment to her future home. After being surrendered to ARF due to allergies, this spirited orange girl is eager for a fresh start. Autumn is incredibly people oriented and thrives on attention. She loves being part of the action, happily greeting visitors and making herself comfortable wherever she goes. True to her outgoing nature, she is also quite chatty and always ready to share her thoughts. Affectionate, confident, and full of charm, Autumn has the kind of presence that instantly makes a house feel like home.
CELINE: Celine has already captured the hearts of everyone at ARF with her loving personality and soulful eyes that seem to look right into you. After arriving at ARF from Animal Control, this sweet girl has an eager to please attitude. At just a year and a half old, Celine loves meeting new people, enjoys walks, knows sit, down, and come, and is always ready for a game of fetch! While she has plenty of playful energy, she also loves quiet moments sitting on the benches at ARF, taking in the fresh air and watching the world go by. Celine would thrive in a calm, structured home as the only pet, without cats, and with children ages 8 and older. With love and consistency, this beautiful girl will become an incredibly devoted companion
