Story

AARCS received a call from family in desperate need to place five growing puppies. Their current dog was not spayed and “accidentally” got pregnant while on holidays. The puppies were living in a dog-run in their backyard and despite their efforts they could not find homes for them. Rescue was their last resort or they would be forced to euthanize them. Unable to think about five innocent pups being killed we found room in our foster program to take them, ON THE CONDITION that the family spay their current dog.

AARCS would like to take this opportunity to stress the importance of spay/neuter. As part of being a responsible pet owner it is imperative that you spay/neuter your animals. “Accidents” do happen (all the time) and innocent lives are lost every day because irresponsible pet owners “accidentally” have a litter unwanted pups. Even if you own a pure-bred dog that doesn’t give you the right to bred her. There are hundreds of pure-bred dogs in shelters and rescues because of irresponsible breeding and there are more then enough unwanted animals to go around justifying bringing more into this world… Do the right thing, spay and neuter!
