Dara - Featured Animal of the Month!
|
DARA! Hi! Are you looking for a new friend? My name is Dara. I am a six year old, female black and white domestic short haired kitty. I was found in a box in a parking lot. It was very scary in there. I am a very mellow, affectionate and loving girl, but I can get startled around a lot of activity. I might like to have one other kitty friend, but I'd probably be happiest being an only child in my new home. I am spayed, vaccinated, test for FIV and FELV and micro-chipped. If you are my love connection, I would sure love to meet you! .

Thank you to Arizona drivers who purchases the pet friendly license plate, created by artist Ron Burns.
Friends for Life was fortunate to receive $7500 towards our low-cost spay and neuter program to help control animal overpopulation. This grant was made possible by Arizona drivers who purchase the specialty license plate created by artist Ron Burns. The plate is only $25 dollars and goes to help our main mission at Friends for Life....controlling animal overpopulation through spay and neuter.

Please support the animals at the shelter by supporting spay and neuter for the animals in your home!! Did you know???.........
 There are 7 puppies and kittens born for every human baby, so there are never enough homes for all of these animals
Most animals found stray or in shelters come in unaltered. Spay and neuter reduces the chance that your family friend will get out and stray far from your home.
Even the best homes lose their furry friends!! Don't think that because you "keep a close eye" on your dog or cat, that they won't ever get away from you and add to the problem.
For every animal you breed in your home, a shelter animal goes without one. Even if you think you can find homes for the puppies or kittens you breed, please remember that a shelter dog or cat may be euthanized in its place!
Spay and neuter reduces the following conditions: Incidence of mammary tumors, tumors of the ovaries or uterus, female heat periods, territoriality and aggression due to increased testosterone, prostate enlargement, tumors of the male organs, perineal hernia, and many more....a spayed or neutered animal has less behavior and health issues.
PLEASE SUPPORT SPAY AND NEUTER OF ANIMALS!!
