When Geisha first came to ARNO she was scared of her own shadow. We think she probably suffered some abuse in the past, and she had a hard time coming out of her shell at first. She is currently living with one of our other dogs, Ginny. Ginny has helped Geisha come out of her shell and we have seen a lovely personality develop. Geisha is still wary of new people, but it doesn't take her long to warm up. She could still use some rehabilitation, but it is something that could happen in her forever home. If you think Geisha may be the dog for you contact us at adoptfromarno@yahoo.com
The shelter is open to the public from 3 - 7 pm seven days a week. Dog adoption fees are $150 per dog and cats are $75 to $100 per cat. These fees help us with cost of spay / neuter, shots, microchips, HW treatment if necessary, other medical expenses and food. Directions to Animal Rescue New Orleans can be found on our website at www.animalrescueneworleans.org
Animal Rescue New Orleans (ARNO) is an organization created for and dedicated to the rescue and aid of abandoned and homeless animals in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. ARNO's response includes, but is not limited to, immediate medical needs, as well as rescue of those animals who have been neglected, abused and deprived of loving care. ARNO promotes the foster, adoption, and reunion of pets with their original caretakers, as well as spaying/neutering of all companion animals.
Pets are introduced to their potential foster or adoptive parents once an application is fully approved, and by appointment only.
