A very loving couple took in 4 kittens from the street. The kittens are 6-10 months old. Sadly , they must give them up because the foster mom has too many cats in her home and was just diagnosed as having asthma. The kittens are living in the couple's garage. They are not let out to roam.The couple has provided 2 of the 4 with shots and testing-doing the best they could financially.The 4 kittens need not go together. They are very good with one another, but haven't been exposed to children or dogs. They are all litter trained.
Both of these cats live in the same home. The owners are heartbroken but must give them up because their son has become severely allergic to them. The medications the son would need would have dangerous side effects. The owners would like for the 2 cats to stay together.
Inky- medium/long hair domestic; neutered male;3 years old; 11lbs;current shots.
Bertie Bow-Wow-short-hair domestic;6 year old ;11lbs.neutered male;current shots.
Both cats are litter-box trained and do not spray.They have their claws.They tested neg for FIV and Leukemia. They get along fine with one another and are good with dogs. They love people of all ages.;never aggressive.Owner says they are both perfect cats and will enrich someone's life.
These stray cats are Mama and her kitten, "Baby". They can be adopted together or go to separate homes. They are wonderful together. Mom finished nursing at 8 weeks but is still loving towards her kitten. Mama has been spayed,loves to be petted and brushed. She is 1-1/2 years old.Baby is 8 weeks old and has been handled since birth. Both were tested negative for feline leukemia and feline aids.

CAN YOU GIVE PING PONG A HOME?
Ping Pong is a 6 year old red male Jindo. He is neutered and current on vaccinations.
Ping Pong’s owner is moving and not able to take Ping Pong. He is in urgent need of a home and will make a great companion.
Ping Pong does well with some dogs and cats. A female dog would be more compatible most likely. He wants to display his dominance with other dogs and once established he is mild mannered. He does play with other dogs. He also does well with children and respectful teenagers. He is also usually fine with strangers.
He makes a good pet for young and older owners. He is very loyal and enjoys sitting next to you. He likes to stay by your side. He does not jump or bark and he is very clean. He does not slobber or make a mess when eating and he never begs. He is a very nice dog.
Ping Pong knows sit, up, lay down, and give paw. He is fine in the house when alone and he does not chew anything.
Ping Pong enjoys daily walks. Jindos must be walked on leash at all times since they are not reliable off leash. Dogs are pack animals and prefer to live inside with their family members.
Please email Dmhtravel@aol.com if you can provide a loving and appropriate home. Home visit and vet references required. Loving homes only who are looking for a companion.

Rocky is an un-neutered male Shiba Inu; he is current on shots; 12+lbs; 2 years old; housetrained; crate trained but can have the run of the house for a short time. He is good with dogs and older kids; he hasn't been exposed to small kids or cats. He walks well on the leash. Very lovable with people. He should be fed away from other pets or he will be aggressive towards another if they will approach his food bowl. He is cute, playful and enjoys walks. Rocky's owner is giving him up because she is soon to be a single mom and would have too much to handle.
pit bull/mastiff; 11/2 years old;neutered and current shots; 65 lbs.and micro chipped. Zekeil has had a terrible puppy hood. He was used for "ring bait" (is mildly scarred),and then was to be drowned when a young woman rescued him and took him in as a house pet. After having him for 1 year, her landlord said the dog must go. The reason being that he is destructive when no one is home. Because of the abuse he suffered, he cannot be kept in a crate .However, when walked at least 2 times per day, he will not be destructive. The more exercise he has, the less anxiety he will have. Zekeil will be a wonderful companion, He is a real people dog, loves to sit on laps, and needs to sleep with a person. He is good with all dogs but does not like cats.He needs a 5 ft. or higher fenced yard,and people who will spend a lot of time with him . An adult home or a family with older kids ,would be best for him since he may knock over a little kid while kissing the child. . Please open your heart and home to a dog who had a rough start and deserves to live happily ever-after.
Lucy is a wonderful dog that is looking for a new home due
to the fact that her owners daughter had a baby. So sad as
we see this happen all the time....... Lucy's neighbors
are trying to help find her a home so the owners do not take
her to the shelter. She is great with other dogs and very
friendly with people. Time is of the essence as they are
afraid of what their neighbors will most likely do.
She's very playful and would fit into any home.
If you are interested in adopting Lucy, please email the
rescue that is cross posting her (gplover78@yahoo.com) and
we will put you in touch with the neighbors. They are
located in Hammonton , NJ Phone # 609-567-3053
Australian Shepherd mix; spayed female; current shots ; 2 years old; approx.50lbs.;housebroken;good with dogs,cats(?) Callie must go with older kids because of her tendency to "herd" young children during their active play. Callie will nip at the kids' heels.
Callie is an indoor pet but enjoys going for long walks. She walks well on a leash. She is also accustomed to a fenced yard. She is highly energetic when playing with another dog and can be dominating in play. Callie is being given up because her owners find it difficult to curb her herding instinct especially with young kids in the house. Callie's energy and constant need for attention have been stressful for the family and for Callie as well. Callie is calm in the company of adults/older kids. She is a very sweet and loving companion who would be a great dog in an adult home or one with teenagers. Her present owners , although sad about giving her up, care enough to recognize that they are not the right family for Callie and want what is best for her.

If not, email the form and snail mail the pic to: Animal Rescue and Referral, PO Box 16, Richboro, Pa 18954. As soon as we get both the form and the pic , we will list your pet on our site.

We are also not responsible for housing the pet in some facility if you can no longer hold onto the pet. Please let us know if you would like us to handle your case. Remember, we don't have a facility. If you need one in a hurry, please contact us at 215 322 9251 voicemail 2 and you will be referred to some no- kill shelters.

Animal Rescue And Referral wants you to be a part of our rescue family. We have lots of things that we can use help with, such as transporting, home checks, final adoptions, and answering phones. We also are in need of foster homes and people who can do fund raisers. You can help us save animals.

Who We Are
Animal Rescue & Referral, Inc., founded in 1996, is a nonprofit organization of caring animal lovers who help find homes for unwanted or homeless dogs and cats. We also educate the public on animal-related topics, participate in spay/neuter programs, network with pure-breed and mixed-breed rescue groups, and provide advice and resources for pet owners. We also believe that education will help us battle the ever-growing problems of animal abuse, puppy mills and pet overpopulation.
A.R.R. has also established a feral cat rescue network. Statistics show that up to 19 million feral cats are living in America. These helpless cats risk being killed by automobiles or can die from starvation, disease, or even torture. It is our hope that by creating a network of caring individuals we will be able to humanely trap, transport, sterilize and provide veterinary care for these creatures.
If you would like to have your pet posted on this web site, fill out a surrender form. For further assistance or any questions you can email or call us. Should we find a good match, we will call you to make arrangements to meet with you and the prospective adopter. WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER. Animal Rescue & Referral, Inc. also networks with other humane groups, places pets in foster care, and boards them on occasion.
Owner Referral dogs have generally NOT been evaluated by ARR and information about these dogs comes directly from the owners. Many of these dogs are being given up because the owners do not have time for the animal, the prior owner has died, the owners are divorcing and moving to a place where they cannot take a pet, etc. We are providing a means for these owners to expose their dogs to a wider audience of potential adopters than would otherwise be available.
The Shelter Dogs
Another source of dogs available for adoption comes from referrals to area shelters. Many humane societies and SPCAs keep us apprised of the dogs at their facilities. These dogs are posted with the shelter phone number. Please call the shelter before visiting to ensure that the dog listed is still available and to check about hours, adoption procedures, etc. These adoptions do not involve ARR and all terms of adoption will be between you and the shelter.
Other Rescue Organizations
We also list dogs for other rescue organizations in the tri-state area. Because there are so many animals in need of a new home, many different rescue organizations exist in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. If we do not have a dog that matches a potential adopter's needs, or if that adopter is geographically more conveniently located to another rescue, we will refer the adopter to a volunteer with that group who can assist him or her in finding a dog. Dogs listed from other groups will have contact information for that group listed with the pets description.
Please remember though, this would be a different organization and anyone who chooses to adopt through a rescue other than ARR, would be required to follow and comply with that rescue's adoption procedures, including completing all of the necessary paperwork and payment of all applicable fees for that rescue.
Prospective adopters are screened to insure the success of their new pet adoption. The perfect adopter is one that is committed and humanely responsible. Veterinarian references are preferred but not always necessary. If you have lots of love to give, we want to talk to you!
ADOPTION FEES
Adoption fees will be discussed prior to the adoption process
WE ONLY ADOPT WITHIN A 90 MILE RADIUS OF PHILADELPHIA.
