Whether from abuse, neglect, or simply undersocialization and lack of training, many companion animals begin to exhibit undesirable behaviors such as digging, barking, scratching, lunging, biting, or other forms of anxiety. These agencies, while performing great services to the community, often lack the resources, space, and personnel required to effectively handle the great numbers of dogs and cats that are abandoned for behavioral reasons. As a result, thousands of animals are euthanized each year for easily treatable behavioral conditions. The ALFA value proposition As the name describes, ALFA will give special needs companion animals a chance to find another life in a home filled with love and respect. A secondary mission of the ALFA center is to promote the use of innovative humane training and animal care techniques to empower owners to prevent common behavior problems arising from poor socialization and understimulation and to increase the likelihood that companion dogs and cats remain in a stable, loving home environment for their entire natural lives.
All animals deserve the opportunity to live with joy and die with dignity.
The ALFA Companion Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Center makes policy, staffing, and operational decisions based on the following guidelines. Carroll and Jo had stopped at the Park and Ride to pick up Carroll's car on the way back from the grand opening of the new ALFA Center. On the drive, they were reviewing the day and how things had gone, and wondering out loud if the Center was really going to make it. Everyone seemed to have a good time at the opening, and they were both happy and exhausted. Just as they were about to say goodnight, down the hill came a young kitten.
