ABOUT ARF SEPA   >   POSITION & VALUE STATEMENTS

We believe that:

• A pet is a commitment that lasts for the pet’s lifetime.  Regardless of whether a pet was rescued, purchased or taken in, all companion animals deserve permanent, loving homes for the duration of their lives.
• Companion pets are completely dependent on their families, and therefore families should consider their pet’s needs when making decisions that will impact their pet’s lives.
• By treating companion pets with love and respect, we set a strong positive example for others, including children, to treat all living things with respect.
• No companion pet deserves to be euthanized solely to create space for more unwanted pets.
• Every companion pet must be spayed or neutered.
