Who we are:
ARC is a group of concerned citizens working to improve the welfare of domestic
animals in the Carroll area.

Why "Free to Good Home" is NOT a good deal for your pet:
Over the years, many Class B dealers have been caught receiving stolen animals or fraudulently
obtaining animals, including pets, and falsifying records to make the transactions stick. Working alongside the Class
B dealer in such transactions is the "buncher," typically a shadowy, unlicensed individual who gathers animals from various
sources, like "free to a good home" advertisements, or by engaging in outright theft. The falsification of
names, addresses, and sources isn't hard to accomplish if you're serious enough about obscuring the means of acquisition and
disposition of animals.
