What does forever mean to you? It means loving a dog. It means loving a cat.

Robin Hood Animal Rescue "We don't have a friar, but we give a tuck about everyone." ..

Robin Hood Animal Rescue

I started this non-profit animal rescue (501(c)(3)) in March of 2004 after working with several rescue/adoption groups over the last few years and being told that I could not pick up dogs off the street or that there were certain breeds that I could not rescue from the Animal Care and Control Center (The Pound) because of their breed.If an animal is on the street, it needs help now!Furthermore, I believe that all animals deserve a life and a good home regardless of breed.I've been told I'm everything from angry to undiplomatic. Angry? You're damn right I'm angry!! There are approximately one hundred animals euthanatized (murdered) EVERY DAY in Maricopa County alone. If this were 1942, the world would react. Yet, we can't even get the state to address this. This atrocity is nothing less than genocide. Undiplomatic? Diplomacy does not seem to be working.Oddly enough that's why I chose Robin Hood as the name for my animal rescue group. And that's why my motto is, "We don't have a friar, but we give a tuck about everyone."To put an end to this atrocity, please spay or neuter your pet, put a collar with a tag (address, phone number, etc.) on your pet, microchip your pet or become a foster or adopt a pet from any of the animal rescue groups or animal control facilities in the Valley.As with some of the other animal rescue groups, I do this out of my home with my time and money after a regular workday, so donations of food, crates, carriers, money, and above all, volunteers who are willing to foster these homeless children until we can find them new homes are greatly needed.We have a good selection of adoptable family members to choose from. With each one that finds a new family, another finds it's way to my door. Can you find it in your heart to somehow help these forgotten angels? If so please contact me at (623) 931-7499.If you are involved with the education of children, we ask that you allow us to visit your school to further educate the children on being responsible pet owners. One of our goals is to teach the public how to take better care of a pet. And there is no better place to start then with children. In turn they will teach others.Robert Spangler, DirectorOur adoption fee for dogs/puppies is $120.00. This helps cover the medical costs (spay/neuter and shots) and the AVID microchipping. The adoption fee for cats/kittens is $ 70.00. This helps cover medical costs(spay/neuter and shots), AVID microchipping and testing.If you have fallen for one of our beautiful foster children, there will be questions asked for a better understanding of the new life for both our foster child and adopting family. A Robin Hood Animal Rescue contract as well as a Petsmart or Petco adoption form will then be filled out.We deeply care for each of our foster children so expect us to contract you now and then to make sure that everything is going well for both four legged and two legged family members. We hope that you will be touched by them as we have.Thank-you for assisting us in giving a new (and better) life to these so very well deserving four legged children who have been discarded given the ignorance, laziness and stupidity of our fellow humans.Visit a number of our foster children at www.rhar4all.petfinder.com.

My Interests

Saving dogs and cats from harm. Giving them a chance to spread their wings and sharing their unconditional love with deserving people.

I'd like to meet:

Good people who want to give a forever loving home to our foster children. We like to meet people who don't judge a dog (or cat) by its breed alone. All are worthy of rescue.We want to know of people who are responsible and take good care of their four legged family members.We want to know of people who value the lives of dogs and cats. There are too many being killed in Maricopa County, AZ alone.

Music:

Barking dogs and cats meowing.

Movies:

We will take time to see a movie -usually horror or sci fi.

Television:

We don't usually have time to watch tv.

Books:

Who has time to read? The only reading we do is when we line the dog crates with newspapers

Heroes:

all the strays, our foster dogs and cats and what they have endured, Benjamin Franklin, poodles and pits
