Allentown-area kennel surrenders 80 purebred dogs
SLATINGTON (AP) — A Lehigh County kennel has turned over 80 purebred dogs to animal shelters. The owners of Dragonsden Kennels in Washington Township surrendered them after inspectors found dozens of malnourished dogs in a basement.
The Animal Rescue League of Berks County took the dogs. The league kept 55 and distributed the others among area rescue groups and shelters. A woman at the kennel said she could not answer questions about the dogs.
Linda Bird retires from work
Do you recognize the young lady in the picture? Click it for a higher resolution.Congratulations to Linda Bird on her retirement from her full time job. Many of you probably bought many things from her during her tenure at Sears. She leaves behind many friends there, including me.
Now, she can dedicate her time to the the things she loves: the animals and Doyle. I guess she still has a full time job taking care of all of them!

URGENT!! Need foster home for a Coonhound
This is urgent. Our Dog Warden has been trying since Monday to catch a Coonhound. This poor thing is extremely thin and all of its ribs are showing. He comes within about 6-8 ft and that is it. They have put up a trap with deer bologna, which he appears to really like.
Here is the problem. We have absolutely no room right now. We are in the process of building two more buildings and have had to consolidate everywhere. We are out of space. If and when he is caught the dog warden will have to take him to the SPCA and they will put him down immediately, because of his condition.
We urgently need a foster place for him. If anyone can help, please contact Cyndi Lindenmuth at 570-356-2387 or clindenmuth@gmail.com. We would even be willing to provide an outside kennel.
Thank you all for caring so much.

November Is Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November Is Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month
Animal Resource Center and Petfinder.com are celebrating November as Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month.
“Think of a pet that is already trained and doesn’t chew or scratch everything in sight--a pet who will love you unconditionally,” said Kim Saunders, Petfinder.com’s Director of Public Relations. “That’s what you get when you adopt a senior pet.”
Some people worry that a senior pet comes with problems, but according to Hazel Blumberg-McKee of Tallahassee, FL, there are no disadvantages. “In most cases they’ve had a home and they want one again.” She adopted eight-and-a-half-year old Sadie, and has never regretted it. “An older animal is easier to deal with. And Sadie is still playful. She plays fetch and gallops all over the place.”
At animal shelters and rescue groups everywhere, there are loving, healthy senior pets like Sadie, looking for that one special home to cherish them for the rest of their life, and they don’t ask for much: just a warm place to sleep, good meals and plenty of love.
During Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month, take the opportunity to get acquainted with the older pets available at the Animal Resource Center.
Visit the shelter online at www.nokillarc.org or at www.petfinder.com, shelter number PA469

Bingo is his name
Bingo is about 6 years old, fixed, up to date on shots, on Heartguard and topical flea medicine. He weighs about 21 lbs. His is very friendly, loyal, good with children and other pets, and playful. Bingo was rescued from another family that could no longer keep him.
His current owner works long hours during the day and Bingo does not like being left alone that long. He is okay for maybe a couple of hours, but he will go in the house if no one is there to take care of him. She has tried crating him, but he goes in his crate and then she has to clean both him and the crate. She has tried gating him in the kitchen but he jumps the gate. She tried putting him in her mud room but he chewed a hole in the carpet. He should probably go to a home where the owner is retired or home a lot.
He is good with kids and very loving. He just needs to know you are there. If any one is interested in Bingo, please call Cyndi Lindenmuth at 570-356-2387 or email clindenmuth@geisinger.edu . He is really sweet and needs that special person to love him.

A man and his dog
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead. He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered. "Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked. "Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up." The man gestured, and the gate began to open. "Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked. "I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the man. "Do you have any water?" "Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in." "How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog. "There should be a bowl by the pump."
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked. "This is Heaven," he answered. "Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that was Heaven, too." "Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell." "Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?" "No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind."

Kiki needs a new home
About Kiki:She's 2 years old- born April 1, 2005 (she's an April fool's kitty) she has never had any health problems - though we do take her into the vet regularly for check ups and immunizations.. and she has been spayed. Everyone comments on her silky smooth coat.. she's a beautiful kitty.
After months of fighting between the cats in my home, I realize that while I absolutely love and adore Kiki, she just can't seem to get along with other cats. I've done everything recommended by vets, books, friends, shelters.. trying to get her to adapt to living with other cats but I just can't do this anymore. It feels wrong to allow her to continue to live in such a stressful environment. She is clearly unhappy and the once overly affectionate kitty I used to know is now hissing, fighting, and hiding. She deserves a good home. She is very healthy and when she is not around other cats.. she is the sweetest!

Free Training Videos
Animal Planet, through their PetVideo.com web site, has generously made available free how-to and training videos to everyone. Videos range from how to teach your dog to walk on a leash to doing tricks. Please click on the link on the left side of our home page, or go directly to http://www.petvideo.com/.
Don't have a high speed connection? No problem.
While supplies last, we will give a training video DVD to anyone who adopts an animal from us. Simply ask your adoption coordinator to provide your information to Dave, the webmaster, and we will see that you get a training video DVD. We do this to help reduce returns, or "pet relinquishments", due to behavior issues. My adopted dog, Ali, was quite the handful (and that's an understatement) when we got her, but Lori and I took the time and effort to train her, and she is now a wonderful member of our family.
Knowledge is power, and the training videos will give you that knowledge.

Kennel Expansion Help Wanted
The Animal Resource Center (ARC) currently houses approximately 30-35 dogs and 45-50 cats. To help better house the dogs, ARC is looking to expand our kennel facilities. In order to do this, we must once again ask the public for help. The cost of the kennel will be approximately $17,000, a small price to pay for the quality of care and love these animals receive from our dedicated members. Please help us to save, rehabilitate, and give loving care to many more animals by donating to this cause. By helping to build this new kennel, you will be assisting us in giving those animals in our care a better life until they can find a new, loving, forever-home. Please consider giving to this worthy cause.
If you can help, please send donations to
Please note on your check's memo line that your donation is for the new kennel.

Sears hosted fundraiser
It was a nice sunny day for hot dogs & test drives. Thanks to manager Jim for hosting the fundraiser in Sears parking lot. Attendees had the chance to buy our magnets, hats, t-shirts, etc.
They also got to test drive the new Craftsman line of lawn tractors. That HydroStatic transmission is great. The high capacity, high-speed, foldable, storable transport trailer was pretty cool, too!
Thanks, Jim!

Foster homes desperately needed.
The Animal Resource Center is in great need of foster homes. Would you like some gratification and great rewards in your life? That is the feeling you get when you foster a dog and help to rehabilitate and socialize them for permanent placement. We have a lot of wonderful dogs to choose from. Some of them are good with other dogs and some not. Some are good with kids and some not. I am sure we have something that will fit into your life style. There is no better reward than that of giving or receiving unconditional love.
If anyone would like to contribute to their well being, please call Cyndi Lindenmuth at 570-356-2387 or clindenmuth@geisinger.edu or Tammy Duch at 570-356-7673. Please won't you consider helping them out?

Welcome to the New ARC
You may have noticed a few changes. That's because I have been trying to figure out the best way to get you the news you need as soon as possible. 
While Lori has been doing a wonderful job keeping our adoptable animals photos and bios up to date, I have been fighting with HTML code. Well, that is a lot easier now. Watch this page for updates.
As always, I'll try to keep the calendar up to date with upcoming events.
Check out our new, cleaner-looking calendar via the "Calendar of Events" link on our home page: http://www.nokillarc.org
Thank you for your patience all last year while I hacked out the site, and keep coming back!
