The old, the
incontinent, the blind, deaf, & arthritic...finally find a forever
home... The first dogs and cats to be euthanized at shelters are the old ones - and they’re dumped more often than you’d think: more than 2 million elderly dogs & cats are disposed of at shelters nationwide every year. Why? The excuses owners use range from “We’re retiring to travel and an RV is no place for a dog” to “We just got a new puppy and the old dog doesn’t like him” to “We’re pregnant, and can’t handle an animal.” So, after years of dedicated companionship, they’re abandoned at shelters. And Pasado’s Safe Haven decided that spending their last days of life on concrete floors, listening to the deafening din of barking dogs, meeting faces & voices they do not know, scared and alone, was unacceptable. The answer? A.A.R.F.F. The American Association of Retired Felines & Fidos, a free-ranging dog & cat ranch on 28 wooded acres in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. |
