In 2026, ARC will expand its impact with meaningful,
community-centered programming designed to keep pets healthy, families supported, and animal welfare education accessible to all.
We are launching low-cost wellness clinics and convenient drive-thru vaccine clinics to help pet owners stay current on preventative care and reduce barriers to essential veterinary services.
Recognizing the deep bond between people and their pets, ARC will also introduce compassionate pet grief support groups, offering a safe space for healing and connection after loss.

Our new reading programs will encourage children to build confidence and literacy skills while fostering empathy through animal interaction.
 

In addition, we will roll out educational workshops such as “How to TNR” (Trap-Neuter-Return) to help address community cat overpopulation, and “First-Time Pet Parent” classes to equip new owners with the knowledge and tools they need to provide
lifelong, responsible care.
 

Together, these 2026 initiatives reflect ARC’s commitment to proactive, preventive, and people-focused animal welfare.
