I volunteered at ARC several years ago and was very impressed with the set-up, the services and the employees. I have since made several donations to the organization. They are excellent about having just the right amount of contact, and letting me know how money is spent. But the best experience was when I went in as a client. They listened to what I was looking for in a companion animal, made suggestions and gave me plenty of time with the dogs. They let me bring my dog in to make sure he got along with the dog I chose. Their trainer even came to my house to ease the transition, and gave me training tips. Animal Refuge Center is wonderful!
