We are very committed to hospice and foster homes, so that each animal receives the love, compassion, and dignity it deserves.Įuthanasia is performed when it is the only alternative to end an animal’s suffering due to terminal illness, severe injury, mental deterioration, or when the animal poses a safety concern for other animals or humans. Our guiding principle is always quality of life for the animal, even if it is obtained with support from medical treatment or diet. We embrace animals who may have health challenges and with a little extra care can be rehomed. We do everything we can to ensure each animal has the opportunity for a new beginning, and provide them with the care, treatment, and time they require, before they find their new family. There is no time limit on an animal’s stay in our care. We are a high-adoption, open-admission facility. This means we do not euthanize due to space constraints or based on a time limit for adoptable animals, we do not euthanize for color, breed, or age. The ARLGP discourages the use of the terms “kill” and “no-kill.” We are a life-saving organization committed to the preservation of life.

Her nature is to explore, so she might follow you around the house too! Kinny showed no fear of the quiet dog in her foster home and should do very well with respectful dogs. This sweet lady especially adores head and chin pets, being brushed, and being treated like a pampered princess. Sometimes she likes to be independent and will seek out her cozy spots in your house. In her downtime she waits for your approval to jump into your lap, then will slumber into a deep sleep.

She also likes to entertain the humans by having them play wand with her. Kinny enjoys the finer things in life such as a lovely window perch so she can watch the birds.
