On Saturday, Nov. 1, the Animal Rescue Fund (ARF) will sponsor another “Pet Picture” event. This will take place at the Family Farm and Home store near the intersection of US-131 and Broadway in Three Rivers. There will be a colorful backdrop for your pet’s picture, and the picture will be printed out right there. The cost is $10 for one pet and $2 for each additional pet in each picture. Humans may be in the picture at no additional cost. The humans do not have to have their toenails trimmed. This event is being held to accommodate those who may have trouble making it to ARF’s Pet Pictures With Santa event, which will be held the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
