CyberSunshine: Helping Animals in Need

OK- a slight shift in focus here, but important none the less. Forgive us for straying from our topic, but this IS for a good cause. Does your love for animals cause you to ponder how to help alleviate the suffering of homeless pets in your community? Do you wonder if there is an organization that that can match your enthusiasm and passion to a good cause? The answer is a resounding YES!

CyberSunshine, Inc. is proud to sponsor the Animal Refuge Center (ARC), (http://www.animalrefuge.com/) a non-profit volunteer organization and sanctuary, providing a clean, safe, no-kill environment primarily for cats and dogs within SW Florida. ARC actively seeks their adoption to qualified individuals. Through public education and an active spay and neuter program, ARC strives to reduce the number of unwanted animals in the community. ARC also promotes animal welfare advocacy and cruelty investigations, as well as utilizing education as a major resource to reach pet owners on responsible pet ownership and kindness to all creatures.

In 2000, CyberSunshine donated an entire website with support and hosting at no charge to ARC of Fort Myers. The site allows volunteers of this organization post animals available for adoption to the site any time. It allows them to mark animals as adopted, add events, collect donations and more.

With the recent home mortgage crisis, not only are people losing their homes, animals are too. ARC needs help. In order to accomplish their goals it takes a strong staff complimented by a large network of dedicated volunteers and supporters. ARC is always looking to recruit more volunteers in Southwest Florida. They have many opportunities available; such as, planning and working special events, dog and/or cat care, dog and/or cat socialization, foster care, and maintenance and repairs.

If you live in Southwest Florida, please consider donating your time. If you are not local, and would like to donate to ARC, please visit their website at http://www.animalrefuge.com/ and click on the ‘donate’ link to the left of the page. It's safe and secure.

If you have interest in learning more about ARC and our volunteer program, please don’t hesitate to contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Lisa Morris, at vcarc@animalrefugecenter.net or visit our website at http://www.animalrefuge.com/.
