North Buckhead Newsletter

Note: We received this note in November from a neighbor who read our email to the neighborhood about overcrowding of local animal shelters and the "AARF" article in our November newsletter:

As always, thanks for the great job you do keeping us informed. As a result of this message, we now have a wonderful new addition to our family. This week we adopted a seven-year-old, shelter-rescued Shih Tzu named Smokey. He is such a sweet, loving, well behaved dog.

I wish more people realized what good pets adult dogs and cats make. Everyone seems to want a puppy or kitten, which I can testify is a lot of responsibility. If you send any further communications about pet adoption, please encourage people to consider adopting adult animals, and also, not to adopt a pet "for a child." Caring for a pet is ultimately an adult's responsibility.
