So we’re about to sign up our 100TH AnRAA MEMBER! (yeah, we’re happy), and I thought you’d like to know a little bit about the gang. I suspect you’ll see yourselves in each other in many, many ways.
First, a number of you have a similar email auto-response:
If you are asking us to take in any animals we do not have a shelter and are very limited, as all of our foster homes are currently filled to maximum capacity.
Ain’t it the truth.
A whole bunch of you have some damn cute names, like Magic Happens Rabbit Rescue; Little Orphan Animals; Hide-E-Hole Ferret Rescue; and the basset rescue, All Ears to name just a few.
While it’s no surprise the majority of members focus on canines, we’ve been attracting an impressive showing of feline, rabbit and ferret groups. Then there’s Bluebonnet Equine in College Station, TX, home of Georgia who’s 15 hands-high and gets along great with horses, donkeys and cows. No room for another animal? Perhaps you’ll sponsor Ritchie. He’s a mink.
Our geographic diversity’s looking pretty good as well. We’ve members in Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado, California and British Columbia. We’re in Buffalo, New York and Brandenton, Florida. We advocate for deaf Danes, have Hairball Dinner fundraisers, and hold Friday Night Socials on racetracks.
We are as small as a teacup-sized marsupial and as brawny as a pit. Can you imagine who we’ll be 1,000 members from now?
