The Love of Dog Bakery is a small, home-based online gourmet doggie bakery (moved from MI to MA about a year ago). Inspiration for the business was provided by a 10-week old fuzz ball named Thelma (renamed Hayle) who was adopted from ARNI in 2003. Hayle's mom first started baking cookies only for Hayle, but as Hayle spread the word to her doggie friends and their families the business snowballed into a full-blown on-line bakery. Each month the owners of the Love of Dog Bakery donate 5% of their profits to a rescue group.

Please visit their website at www.loveofdogbakery.com and purchase some of their delicious homemade gourmet doggie cookies. Your dog will love you and 5% of your purchase will go to help homeless cats and dogs.

PETS OF THE WEEK

MAIZIE GRACE!!
I was born around Aug 2007. I play hard and love to run. My foster mom says she thinks I have pogo sticks stuck to my feet cause I can jump so high. My perfect home would be with someone who isn't gone long hours a day, who is active (jogging, walking, etc.), and who has a fenced in yard. I still am a love bug and would love to lay in your lap and be petted and rocked. I love, love, love to snuggle. I just can't seem to get close enough. I do like to play with the other dogs in my foster home, but my favorite pastime is being petted and snuggling close. I am looking for someone who wants a beautiful little girl that will love them forever (and who promises that I will never end up in county again...way to scary and depressing for me). Adopt me and you will be happy and loved. h (yum). .

ROMEO!
My name is Romeo and my birth date is 7-7-07. Like my name implies, I am a lover. I was abandoned at a campground where I was seen scrounging around in fire pits looking for food! I was there for at least two weeks when a nice lady took me to a vet. That is where I met my foster mom! I love kids and like dogs! Please take me home!!

Won't you find it in your heart to take these two into your heart and your home. You may find more information on Maizie Grace or Romeo on our Web site. If you are interested in adopting fill out our adoption application

FOSTER HOMES AND VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!

Animal Resource Network Inc. is always in need of loving foster homes for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens that come to us from private owners and/or local shelters for adoption. The more foster homes we have, the more animals we can save and place for adoption. There are so many dogs and cats that are euthanized due to overpopulation and lack of space, and there are not enough foster homes. Also, ARNI is always looking for volunteers who are interested in helping with various fund-raising projects already in progress and in the future.

If you are interested in fostering or volunteering for ARNI, please review our foster/volunteer agreement and submit our application. Once we receive and review your application, we will contact you to further discuss the opportunities available with ARNI.

We also have volunteer opportunities available for children. If you have children that would be interested in volunteering, please review our youth agreement and submit the ARNI youth volunteer application.

ADOPTING A FRIEND

ARNI's adoption contract requires that all pets be spayed/neutered, if this was not done prior to the adoption. The adoption fee for a dog or puppy is $150 and for a cat or kitten is $85. (If an animal is not spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, $25 of the adoption fee will be refunded when we receive proof that the pet has been altered.)

To better serve the animals and our foster homes, and as a convenience to you, please fill out our online application, in its entirety.


Adoption Application

Pet adoptions are held at pet supply stores in the Lansing, Mich., area each Saturday. Adoptions are not held on major holiday week-ends.
