Finding new loving homes for their ‘lodgers’. They admit openly, that it is teamwork. From the founder Sid Richardson to the members loyally carrying out their work, whether volunteers or not!

It was not by accident, as fate always has a hand in something in animal land, that João ARA’s General Manager, met with Jenny Clarke APAA’s President, at the 2022 annual ‘afpop’s Blip’. Flip back to the future. ‘Legacy for Pets’ has taken up the time and attention of both associations, for the furtherance of the furry friends happy ever- after when something happens to their beloved owner. Jenny and her colleague Anita visited ARA to discuss this very problem. Now! APAA’s members have visited with Sid and the team to discuss their personal requirements. Should something untoward happen to them, illness? Care? Oh No! Looking on the bright side your pet(s) will be looked after come what may. A ‘thank you’ Certificate of Appreciation was recently awarded to APAA by ARA. If, for an instant, you have had that worrying thought that your relatives are looked after when you pass on. But what of your pet(s)? Think ‘Legacy’.
