From sponsoring medical treatments for shelter pets to providing supplies for foster homes, your funds help ARF help animals!

This post showed up in our memories today. What is incredible is that Thelma the chihuahua and Norman the cat are both STILL thriving with their foster turned adopters.

Thelma came to use as a senior dog with no teeth, diabetes and Cushings disease. She went blind from diabetes while we struggled to get things under control. At the time our vet just knew she was old, anywhere from 12-20, so who knows how old she is these days! But loves to walk around the back yard and sniff out treats in snuffle mat!

Norman became our first cat in our FIV program. After getting some medical issues under control, he has been the silliest boy. And the other cats in the home remain negative for this virus, showing proof that FIV cats can be successfully adopted into multi cat households.

Never in our wildest dreams did we think Thelma and Norman would still be here 5 years later. It’s all thanks to your support. The ability to provide high quality vet care, the supplies needed for a foster program, etc. leads to amazing outcomes for the animals in our community.

Today we continue this work by partnering with our local shelters to make sure animals like this get that chance.

Important info for the ride tomorrow!!!

🧙‍♀️✨ Hocus Pocus, I’m gonna need y’all to FOCUS! ✨🧹 Put down your broomsticks and read every single word of this post — and for heaven’s sake, watch the video! It’s got very important info that’ll keep this haunted bike ride running smoother than a witch on caffeine! Now listen up, my spooky speed demons — the pace will be set by the lead witch (yes, that’s her in the video, so pay attention!). All you e-bike riders, we love ya, but y’all are basically turbo-charged broomsticks, and we are old-school witches — low speed, high drag (or maybe it’s high-speed, low drag… either way, we’re slow, okay?). 🐢💨 👉 Stay behind the lead witch! We only have two golf carts approved to join, and those babies ride at the very back of the pack. 💡 Make sure your lights are ON! 🧵 Make sure your costume is SECURE — we don’t need a wardrobe malfunction turning into a NASCAR-style broom pileup! And for the love of ghostly good sense: 🚲 STAY IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE AT ALL TIMES! If you see someone drifting left, call ‘em out! That lane must stay open for emergency vehicles. Be loud, be proud, and get ‘em back in line! When the ride is done, park your bikes safely and fly on over to Dority’s for the after party! 🎶🎃 No outside food or drinks — Dority’s got you covered! And finally, hear this loud and clear, my procrastinating pumpkins: ⏰ Ticket sales end SATURDAY at 8 AM SHARP! If you haven’t bought yours yet, this is your final chance to join the ninth annual Massacre Island Haunted Bike Ride! Can’t wait to see all you ghouls, goblins, and glam witches tomorrow night — now let’s make it spooky, safe, and spectacular! 🖤👻
