A Message From Our Executive Director |

|
Dear Friends,
In this season of giving thanks, all of us at ARRI are especially grateful for our community and the extraordinary support you continue to provide. You make it possible for us to offer love and care to hundreds of pets each year while they’re on their journey to loving homes.
In just the last 12 months, your gifts enabled us to: - Place 500 pets in loving homes to call their own
- Provide critical or routine veterinary care to all the animals in our care
-
Reach nearly 1,800 people with our Animal Scholars humane education programs
- Provide more than 65,000 pet meals through our Community Pet Food Pantry
As we embark on our year-end giving campaigns, Giving Tuesday and Whisker Wonderland, your continued support means the world to us. We invite you to join us as we aspire to raise $150,000 to fully fund our 2024 budget and fulfill our commitment to go to any length for the pets in our care.
Thank you for providing hope for so many homeless animals! Because you care, their lives will be forever transformed.
With best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving, |
Liz Skrobisch Executive Director |

Gift Planning - Gifts of Assets & Bequest |
There are several ways to donate and support the pets at ARRI. Contributions such as mutual funds, stocks, bonds, IRAs, cash, or other financial assets are fantastic ways to aid the shelter. Donate Stock: Did you know you can also give from your investments - stock or retirement accounts? Gifts of stock, IRA distributions, and Donor Advised Funds can reduce your tax liability while increasing your philanthropic impact. Create a lasting legacy of love: One more way that many of our supporters are choosing to have an impact is by adding ARRI to their will. It costs nothing during your lifetime and is a powerful commitment to our work and mission for generations to come.
For more information, contact Jeanine at jconrady@animalrescueri.org or 401-783-7606 x 113. |

Help save homeless pets and the planet this November!
During November, ARRI will partner with Stop & Shop for their Community Bag Program. When you purchase a reusable Community Bag at the Narragansett Stop & Shop, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to ARRI. By choosing these reusable bags, shoppers not only support their community but also help reduce the use of single-use plastic bags, making a positive impact on the environment. |

Meet adoptable Sierra, a stunning beauty who has been thriving in her foster home! Here’s what her foster has to say about this amazing girl:
Sierra has done so well and is completely house-trained. She even puts herself to bed around 8/8:30 on her dog bed and sleeps through the night until 6 a.m. She’s worked hard on her leash walking and takes four walks a day with her foster sister, Juno. Sierra loves playing fetch and is a pro at bringing it back and dropping it in front of you. She listens well and knows ‘stay,’ ‘sit,’ and ‘lay down,’ and is working on giving her paw. She’s always willing to work for a small treat! At feeding time, she gets excited but knows to sit calmly while you give her the bowl. Despite her size, Sierra loves to cuddle and will even sit in your lap and snuggle. Her kisses are endless, and she has so much love to give.”
Sierra is ready to bring her playful, loving energy to her new family. Could that be with you? Visit us at www.animalrescueri.org to start the adoption process and to set up a meeting today! |

Meet Kayla! This gorgeous tortoiseshell beauty is as sweet as she is stunning, with a personality that’s blossoming every day. Kayla loves her wet food and never says no to treats!

If you're looking for a loyal companion to share quiet moments and plenty of love, Kayla is the one for you. Come meet her and see if she’s the missing piece to your heart!

Just wanted to send y’all some Tiffany updates! We’re getting very comfy in our forever home! Almost two weeks in and Miss Tiff rules the house and spends her days on the GIANT cat bed (my own bed) cuddled up waiting for her daily treats and chin scratches! Allie |
