Be our pen pal!

We invite your kiddo to become an animal pen pal! On our website we list all of our adoptable dogs, cats and critters (under the ADOPT tab). Have your child pick an animal to write a letter and/or draw a picture and send to us at the address below. Our staff will be happy to write back as the animal for a furry pen pal program!

Send us your kid’s pet art

Encourage your kiddo to draw, paint, color, sketch a photo of their pet at home. Snap a photo or scan it, and send it to us at jroth@arlgp.org. We will compile an album of kid pet art on our Facebook page.
