The Animal Rescue Network (A.R.N.) was founded in 1994 by Barbara Lisbona, who is still its current president today. Barbara began as a volunteer at the S.P.C.A. but was discouraged by the conditions, and started a foster home program that placed 700 cats and dogs in 1994-95. Barbara left the S.P.C.A. in 1995 with 35 cats that were slated for euthanasia, and with a donated apartment and assistance from other S.P.C.A. volunteers, founded the ARN.

Animal behaviour training school. The Dogue Shop is a facility in which we train people and their animals. This means we teach you how to teach your canine companions. The Dogue Shop is not a traditional obedience school or group facility. We also train people who want to become dog trainers, animal behaviour consultants, or animal-assisted therapists. Last, but not least, we give workshops and seminars on various animal related topics.
