	Dog Quote of the Week: "A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty and the importance of turning around three times before lying down" Robert Benchley

	Young Cazzie became very sick with pneumonia and possibly septicaemia shortly after finding her forever home. Since during this period she is still ARF's responsbility we have incurred a substantial cost for her necessary intensive vet care. Any contributions (see below) you can make to this are much appreciated.

	Ever thought about rescuing dogs? Foster carers are the "missing piece of the puzzle" between the pound and the forever home. They provide shelter, care and love for the dogs in preparation for their new homes. If this sounds like something you would like to do, fostering through ARF can provide you with the support to make it easier, safer and more affordable than doing it solo. If you, or anyone you know, are keen to help save abandoned dogs lives, please read a little about what is involved in "Foster Care" and talk to us and /or complete the form there.	Sponsorship or donations All donations to ARF of $2 and over are tax-deductible. If you can help ARF to continue rescuing neglected dogs, some of whom, like Cazzie, need some extra medical care before they can be adopted, please contact ARF for our bank details to make a direct donation. ARF is also happy to accept donations through
