Animals of the Month
TRIXIE: Trixie is an 8-year-old beauty with a gentle heart and a whole lot of love to give. She came to ARF with a few feline friends after her family was evicted from their home, and she is now dreaming of a new cozy place to call her own. She may start out a little shy, but a few tasty treats work like magic and she quickly shows her affectionate side. Trixie knows her name and will come when you call her! She adores being held, curling up in a warm lap, and burrowing under blankets where she feels extra safe and snug. When playtime rolls around she is always up for chasing a wand toy. She gets along well with other cats and once she gives you her heart, it is yours forever.
OLLIE: This handsome big boy came to us through Animal Control through no fault of his own and is ready to start a new chapter with a family who will adore him. Two-year-old Ollie may be large in size, but he has an incredible capacity for love. With his gentle nature and affectionate personality, he truly believes he is a lapdog, even if he takes up most of the couch! Ollie knows his basic commands, enjoys making new friends, and is always happy to soak up attention or follow you around just to be close. He would thrive with someone who appreciates a sweet, loyal companion with lots of love to give. If you are looking for an oversized cuddle buddy, Ollie might be the perfect match.

Bark the Question Lecture Series: What to Expect When You’re Expecting…A Dog
Wednesday, March 18 at 6 PM
- How can I make my new dog feel more comfortable?
- Does the sex of the dog matter when bringing home a second dog?
- Should you have friends and family meet your new puppy as soon as you bring it home?
Bringing home a new dog is an exciting moment, but it can also be a big adjustment for both you and your pet. Whether you are welcoming a puppy, adopting from a shelter, or adding a second dog to the family, every dog, no matter where they come from, needs time to settle in and feel safe. Even changing homes for the season can be a stressful event for you and your dog, and all will require a period of decompression and adjustment. And if your dog has been in your home for months or longer, this discussion can provide further insight into how dogs adjust to new situations and environments.
Join our panel of experienced pet professionals including, Veronica Grzybowska, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, Cindy LeRoy, CPDT-KA, Gail Murphy, CPDT-KA and moderator Caryl Glaab, the Director of Training Program at the William P. Rayner Training Center, as they share helpful tips and answer your questions about making the transition a positive and successful experience for everyone.
This lecture is free for the public to attend and is for human attendees only. Please leave your furry friends at home. Space is limited and must be reserved in advance at arfhamptons.org/barkthequestion
