Meet Bentley, the lucky guy in our Ready Set Rescue! spotlight this week. At only about a year old, Bentley was picked up as a stray by the DeSoto County Sheriff's Office and transferred to Farm Dog Fosters Sanctuary, Inc. Although initially it appeared that he had been neutered, Bentley did not have a neuter tattoo, or a scar, and on examination he was found to be cryptorchid. Cryptorchidism is a genetic condition which means that one or both testicles have not descended into the sc***um. Although dogs with both testicles undescended are generally infertile, cryptorchidism can cause complications such as cancer, making neutering essential. Because the testicles are inside the abdominal cavity, neuter surgery is more involved than a regular neuter.

Bentley is a super sweet guy, full of energy, and friendly with everyone. He is house and crate trained, and is looking for his forever home. Please contact Farm Dog Fosters Sanctuary, Inc if you think that he would be a good addition to your family.

Take a look at these adorable faces! ARC was really busy last week, devoting two days for private patients, one day for feral kitties, and two days for rescues. One of the rescue days had two vets working and we spayed/neutered 39 dogs, for a grand total of 173 patient surgeries for the week. We are proud to be able to help that many animals.

Are you familiar with TNVR? Short for Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return, this program is is the nationally recognized humane alternative to conventional trap-and-kill methods of addressing feral cat populations, which can multiply at a rapid rate in the wild. A single pair of cats and their offspring can produce thousands of descendants in just a few years. Female cats can become pregnant as early as 5 months of age and can have multiple litters in a year. This is why feral cat populations can grow quickly if not managed through spaying and neutering.

A day dedicated to ferals at ARC is a HUGE effort for our team and volunteers. The check in process the day before surgery takes hours. The cats have to be fed and cared for the night before surgery. The trappers come back the day after surgery to collect their cats, requiring a big logistical effort to make sure the cats get to the right trappers and paperwork is carefully checked. Afterward, the team has to clean twice as much, because it is really dirty work.

This week, our TNVR day helped 32 kitties. ARC is proud to participate in this program, and if you would like to donate to help us continue this important work, please visit our website at https://www.arcsrq.org/donate.

Our Ready Set Rescue! spotlight is more of a floodlight this week! Meet Beer, Gin and Rum. These cuties are about 4 months old, and were transferred from Sarasota County Animal Services to Humane Society at Lakewood Ranch. Typical frisky, happy kittens, they are just waiting to join your family!

ARC’s Ready Set Rescue! program is a collaborative effort that saves more lives. County shelters continually struggle with the high volume of cats and dogs coming in to their facilities, and to help alleviate this, many of our rescue partners transfer animals from county shelters for their own adoption programs. In support of this collaboration, ARC offers our rescue partners free spay/neuter and vaccines for animals that have been transferred from Sarasota, DeSoto, Highlands, Okeechobee, Glades, and St. Lucie counties. If you would like to help fund this incredible program, visit our website at https://www.arcsrq.org/donate.

Meet a few of the pets who came through our doors at ARC this week. Some were in the care of our rescue partners, and others were private patients. Whether they were spayed, neutered, or received vaccines and preventatives at a Wellness Clinic, these dogs and cats were cared for lovingly by our amazing, skilled staff.

Veterinary care for our pets is just as important as medical care for humans. Many people can’t afford private vet services, and that is where ARC comes in. Our affordable prices make it possible for everyone to give their pets the care that will help them live a long, happy life.

We could not continue to offer these valuable services without the help of our donors and supporters. If you would like to help fund our work, visit our website at https://www.arcsrq.org/services

Meet Pierre, Panko, Sinatra, and Polly— possibly one of your new best friends?!

These four adult cats arrived today from Sarasota County Animal Services for spaying/neutering and vaccinations. While kittens and puppies are often adopted quickly from shelters, adult cats don’t always catch people’s attention right away. What a shame, because all four of these adults are incredibly friendly and affectionate! If you're looking to add to your family this year, don’t forget to check your local shelter!

Do you read or write reviews on Google, Yelp, or another site? We certainly read ours! Here is one of the Google reviews of ARC. We are proud to have a rating of 4.8 out of 5!

Tats are in; does your dog or cat have one? Specifically, a tattoo that indicates that the animal has been spayed or neutered. While not all vets do tattooing, ARC always does, and we recommend that you ask for a tattoo if you have your dog or cat’s surgery elsewhere. These tats are typically small blue or green lines at the surgical site.

We all expect to care for our cats and dogs until they die, but sometimes unanticipated life events result in the animal needing to be re-homed through a shelter or rescue. Spay/neuter scars aren’t always visible years afterward, and tattoos prevent the possibility of unnecessary exploratory surgery when vet records aren’t available.

You are happy when your pet is healthy, right? And staying healthy includes vaccinations, exams, and flea, tick and heartworm prevention. ARC offers low-cost, high-quality Wellness Clinics to help you provide these for your furry friends.

Did Tropical Storm/Hurricane Debby take you by surprise? The ferocity of the storm was far from the 2 - 5 inches of rain that was forecast, and the resultant flooding and devastation turned a lot of lives upside down. You probably don’t need reminding that hurricane season runs until the end of November! During a hurricane, pets face the same dangers as their humans, so it is important for the humans to plan for their pets’ safety as well as their own. Do you live in an area where people are often told to evacuate when a hurricane comes in? Do you have a plan for evacuation? If you had to go to a county hurricane shelter, do you know where to go, and which shelters will allow you to bring your cats and dogs? In Sarasota County, ALL shelters are cat- and dog-friendly! In Manatee County, some shelters are pet-friendly. If you live in another county, you can Google “pet friendly hurricane shelter [your county name]” for information. Shelters generally require pets to be vaccinated, and ARC is here to help with that. We offer vaccines, microchips, and flea/tick/heartworm prevention for pets in the community, all at our regular low prices. Book an appointment on our website at arcsrq.org

Hurricane Season & Pets

Hurricane Season started June 1, and will continue throughout November in our area. During a hurricane, pets face the same dangers as their humans, so it is important for the humans to plan for their pets’ safety as well as their own. Do you live in an area where people are often told to evacuate when a hurricane comes in? Do you have a plan for evacuation? If you had to go to a county hurricane shelter, do you know where to go, and which shelters will allow you to bring your cats and dogs? In Sarasota County, ALL shelters are cat- and dog-friendly! In Manatee County, some shelters are pet-friendly. If you live in another county, you can Google “pet friendly hurricane shelter [your county name]” for information. Shelters generally require pets to be vaccinated, and ARC offers wellness clinics once a week. We offer vaccines, microchips, and flea/tick/heartworm prevention for pets in the community, all at our regular low prices. View the prices and book an appointment at www.arcsrq.org/vaccine-clinic.
