We just updated our website and finally got our blog back up and running!
Many of our SAs have been adopted recently, so be sure to check the list of available animals to see of your favorite’s still available!
This week, Phil, Edwin, Bertha and Jeff have all found new homes. And last week, Arnold, Sandy, Ralph and Atticus left us. It’s sad to say goodbye, but we’re happy they’re all going to fine new homes!
Well, it’s time for this year’s Stuffed Animals to head home for the holidays. Sure, most of them don’t have real homes yet, but they do have friends to visit. So, tonight is the last night of this year’s petting zoo. It’s been a fun though rather rainy few weeks. We hope everyone enjoyed meeting the new SA’s, and we look forward to reading all of your adoption applications. If you applied, you will be receiving an email from us in the next few days!
Happy holidays!
Visit the petting zoo and meet the new SA’s! We’ve already received several adoption applications, so The SARF headquarters is buzzing with hopefulness. Oh, and this year you also have the option of filling out an application on paper at the petting zoo!

Vincent
Webbed Accessibility Expert
As a stuffed amphibian, Vincent knows the challenges of webbing firsthand. Typing is slow going, even on the most ergonomic keyboards. And forget texting. Plus, Vincent also suffers from a condition called Bug Eye, which affects pupil dilation. He will discuss the challenges webbed SA’s face in the digital age.

Janice (aka Janus)
Color Breathing Therapist
Janus, a licensed Color Breathing Therapist, is caught between two worlds- The Blessed and The Mystical. She is opposed to computer usage of any kind, as she feels it disturbs one’s electromagnetic balance. She recommends that frequent users seek immediate attention for their blocked charkas and that they discontinue their vibrational-disturbing activities at once.
We’re sitting in a panel about Twitter, gearing up for our own panel tomorrow! Since SA’s don’t actually talk, we’ll be Tweeting our dialogue. Be sure to follow ‘thesarf’. We’ll be sending out exact time information soon!
It’s that time again. SXSW.
This year, The SARF is participating in the SXSW Interactive festivities. We will be sponsoring a panel on Monday entitled “Gorilla Marketing: SA Accessibility and the Immobile Web” (CC).
Our experts will be on hand to answer questions to the best of their abilities, given that they do not talk and very rarely gesture on their own.
Carolyn & Frank Julio
Frank Julio is on his way to Boston! He’s super excited about the snow. We hear there’s a lot of it this year.
Dottie and Rob, her new owner
Dottie, Lorenzo’s Del Rio Lllamas and Richard were our first successful adoptions. These were completed in early January.
Since Richard left us, we’re having to do all of this ‘web stuff’ ourselves. It’s talking a little while, but we’ll have the blog up and running in a few days…
