Meet Cheever!

Cheever is one of the ARPO's Race Puppies, Shar Pei, Mastiff mixes! They race around the house, and race around the yard, and want to race right into your hearts.

Friends at FIDO (Friends of Indy Dogs Outside) were notified about the litter and hooked them up with ARPO. They are some of the cutest puppies you'll find. Their mommy is a brindle colored mixed breed, long haired dog of about 45#, but their daddy is a bigger dog who wandered thru their 'hood. The pups range in weight from 10-15# already and are just 8 weeks old (born 3/11/08), so most of them will grow to be large adults. Mom's been spayed now and there will be no more accidental litters from her.

We found Cheever being cared through a foster home with the The Alliance for Responsible Pet Ownership, Inc., in Indianapolis. ARPO was conceived in 1998 by a group of Indianapolis citizens concerned about the continuing high rate of euthanasia in our city. ARPO seeks to unite animal-related businesses and organizations in central Indiana for the purpose of promoting responsible pet ownership and decreasing the number of companion animals surrendered to shelters. ARPO is funded solely by donations and is staffed entirely by volunteers. We do not have a shelter, so all of our adoptable animals are housed in temporary foster homes until loving permanent homes are found.

Meet Sofia Loren!

Oh, la, la!!! Sofia is a beautiful pure breed Mastiif. She was rescued from the county shelter where she had been given up because she was not getting along with the other dog in the home.

She is very large and strong and only about 10 months old. She is new to the shelter and they will have more info soon. But, for now they say she is just the sweetest girl ever and her eyes will melt your heart! Breed experience is preferred.

We found Sofia currently being cared for by the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge. RBARI is Bergen County's only non-profit, "no-kill" shelter. Located in Northern New Jersey. RBARI is dedicated to the welfare of companion animals in our community. We protect the abandoned, abused, and unwanted animals in our care by finding them kind and loving homes. We give our cats and dogs food, shelter, medical treatment, and, of course, love.
