Fall Safety Tips
Kids are back in school which
means Fall is just around the
corner. For pets, every season
has its dangers and Fall is no
exception. So what are some of the things you need to
look out for so your dogs and cats stay safe?
Anti-Freeze- As winter approaches, many people add
anti-freeze to their cars. Anti-freeze is very attractive to
dogs especially because of the taste but it’s deadly.
Make sure you clean up any spills and keep any
antifreeze out of your dog’s reach.
Halloween - If you have Halloween candy around,
remember no candy is good for dogs, but chocolate in

Aloft Hotel - A dog’s new best friend
The Asheville Aloft Hotel is a
contemporary dog friendly hotel
that has chosen CAAR as their
quarterly community service
project. Their goal is to help find
permanent homes for several
CAAR dogs. Since the program’s
inception, five dogs have already
been adopted.
David McCartney, Manager
Whether it is a CAAR dog, or a
hotel guest’s pet, life is full at Aloft. Guests and staff
shower them with love and attention, and much time is
spent at the hotel’s dog park.
CAAR greatly appreciates the support of Aloft and hopes
this partnership will continue to provide a source of
loving homes and positive exposure in our rescue efforts.
Aloft Hotel Asheville is located at 51 Biltmore Avenue.

Featured Pet
Meet Sonny
Sonny’s clipped ear is the
calling card of a TNR feral
cat. TNR (Trap, Neuter,
Return) is a program
where all the feral cats in a
colony are trapped,
neutered and then returned to their territory,
where caretakers provide them with regular
food and shelter. The clipped ear serves as a
visual indicator that a particular cat has been
neutered. Charlie's Angels' TNR initiative is still
in the infancy stage, but Sonny is a constant
reminder of how rewarding the effort can be. Sonny was trapped as a young kitten and after
his neuter, he was placed in foster care for
socialization. He now lives in our cattery and is
available for adoption. He has an amazing story
to tell that begins with his ears. For more about
Sonny drop us an email at
[email protected] or visit us online

Shortly after CAAR rescued
Crady from a local shelter, her
foster noticed blood in her
urine. Tests soon revealed a
badder mass. Given her
relatively young age, we
remained hopeful that the mass
was benign. Crady's foster
parents took a step of faith.
"We have fallen head over heels

us for as long as she has...and hopefully that will be many
years! I am so hopeful this doesn't end up being cancer,
but if it is, we will see it out till the end."
We are delighted to report that further testing revealed NO
cancer. Crady is on the way to a full recovery and a happy
ever after. Thanks to Sue and Casey for standing by this
sweet girl! UPCOMING EVENTS

FOSTER HOMES
One of the most valuable things you
can do to help CAAR in our mission
to save animals in our community is
to become a Foster. As a “foster
parent” you provide a safe, loving
place where the animal can stay
until we have arranged transport to rescue or to their
next home. CAAR pays all vet costs associated with
animals in foster care, including immunizations,
medications, and any needed vet visits. CAAR also
provides for spay and neutering for all animals that are
old enough prior to transport to rescue. If you do not
have a crate for the animal, we are happy to lend you
one. If you are able to provide dog/cat food, a collar and
a leash, that’s great, but we can also provide food if
requested.
To learn more about becoming a CAAR Foster, visit our
website at CharliesAngelsAnimalRescue.com and click on
