Our 2019 Numbers

LIFE-SAVING STATISTICS*

ADOPTIONS IN 2019: 100% SAVE RATE!

The numbers are in! In 2019, we found homes for 538 dogs, cats and goats! Our clinic had a successful year as well with the spaying/neutering of 2,048 cats, plus 67 other animals!

*Calculated using the Save Rate

Since 1976, Animal Rescue, Inc. has been a refuge for homeless cats and dogs. We make a promise to any animal who comes through our gates: they will never be homeless again. We hope our residents will find a loving home with a lifelong companion or a loving family; but if they never find that home, they are welcomed into the ARI family. ARI is home to several hundred animals between our different locations.
