It’s been the craziest week, calls, text,emails and Fb messages from people who want to surrender their animals. Lost and Found dogs turned away by the City shelters, even The Good Shepherd Humane Society who is a very caring shelter.

These shelters are paid by our tax dollars! The directors draw big salaries, they have paid employees, good Samaritans that pick these animals up to get them to a safe shelter are turned away.

My stomach hurts, my blood pressure soars, because I’m only a sanctuary who is full and I do my rescuing from my heart. My volunteers and I don’t make one dime, every cent goes to the animals. I’m spinning my wheels, there is no light that shines at the end of a tunnel. It’s only Wednesday and I have had 22 desperate calls, I don’t have the resources to take in anymore animals turned down by the City/County shelters.

Home Town flea Market, nicest people we rented booth space from so that we could pay our Vets and buy our vaccines, Spay and Neuter. They were Lone Pines family, our biggest advocates that truly cared about what we do for the voiceless…

Calling all LP supporters - We need you! Operation Tree Cleanup is still underway!

We need bodies and chain saws. While we made significant progress the past few days, there is still a lot to do! Got a chain saw and some free time today? Come on! Don’t have a chain saw, but still want to help? Come on! Any amount of time and level of help is greatly appreciated as we do our best to get our shelter restored.

We had a couple tree services come out yesterday to give quotes. They counted 21 trees either completely down or broken in half. The more of them we can clean up ourselves, the less it will cost us to remove the rest.

If you can’t help physically, you can help by liking and sharing this post.

Donations are also appreciated as our primary source of income was also destroyed with this storm.

Thank you to everyone who has already come out and helped! We could not have done what we’ve done without you!
Thank you to everyone who continues to support us from afar. Your thoughts and prayers have been felt and are appreciated!

We have had a direct Tornado Hit, the new sanctuary/shelter was not damaged thankfully. We are asking for any volunteers with chain saws that might want to help out. Our number is 479-795-2709 please Text us if anyone is interested in volunteering we would appreciate any help. The Dogs and Cats are safe, it was our food trailer, fundraising trailers and privacy fence around the sanctuary that is damaged.

Meet Willie Earl!

Willie Earl is a young Catahoula Cur who was involved in an accident, leaving him with a broken leg. His owner opted for euthanasia as the surgery to fix his leg would involve a steel plate and cost $2500+.

Willie Earl came to us at this point; our vet did an evaluation and felt optimistic he could save the leg using wire and a rod instead of a plate. His surgery is expected to cost $1200-1300.

Willie will be looking for his forever home once he is fully mended, but that will still be a while! For now we are focused on getting him well.

If you would like to contribute to Willie Earl’s new lease on life, his GoFundMe link will be in the comments! Thank you!

One of the Worst Stories Of my Dog Rescue adventures…

Noel Missouri!!🥲
Their make shift dog shelter was a fly infested disaster.
The girl that started it to save strays from dying? She meant well, but lacked funding to do it the right way.

Mark and I took them dog food and wormer to try to be helpful. When we seen the flys, the mud, no wind break, and winter was coming soon, It Broke our heart.
I took Nicole aside, and I told her “ you cannot let these dogs live like this, they would be better off put down”.
Nicole ask me to take the small lap dogs with me, we picked them up out of filth, fly eggs on them and put them in our truck.
Mark and I both cried as we headed home to Centerton, Ar.
I guess I tapped into her conscience, she called me half way home, can you take them all? “I’m closing down. I told her I would start to work on calling for outside help.
I called Romaine Kobilsek Director of Spay Arkansas (at that time) and the ball started rolling fast and furious.
Romaine found rescues all over the 4 state area, they saved the lives of 57 puppies!
Mark and I had to make 4 trips to get 30 big dogs out of the Noel Missouri make shift shelter and find temporary pens to set up at our Lone Pine Ranch Animal Shelter.
The last trip into the Noel shelter, we loaded 3 dogs, the 4th last dog was being left behind to be put down the next day. Hershey didn’t like other dogs and we just didn’t have a pen to put her by herself.
As we were leaving, the wind was strong and howling through the empty shelter, one dog in the back pen all alone.
We got down the road 3 miles, I started crying, Mark we can’t leave her!
Mark turned the truck around and looked at me with tears in his eyes “ I know”.
Back we sped for that one last dog, I called Lynda Arey and ask if she could foster Hershey, Lynda’s answer was immediately Yes!

My husband, Mark Mathis, says I need to not take life so seriously.
The trench work in animal rescue, it has a way of taking down the blinders and keeps you running to next rescue mission. So how do I not take life seriously?

Hello friends! We here at SAS have unfortunately hit the wall this week and have taken in over twenty dogs since Sunday! We're maxed out on kennel space with almost 80 dogs in house and we're feeling the heat. Now through the end of July, we are waiving adoption fees for approved applicants on all dogs that are able to be spayed/neutered. We have a houseful of WONDERFUL pups that can't wait to meet you! Please share and help us beat the heat :D

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
If you’ve been looking for a way to make a difference, this is it! Kim, our Lone Pine Director, is in need of volunteers for the cat room. You will be cleaning out litter pans, sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning food and water bowls, switching out dirty blankets with clean ones. This is one of those dirty jobs so please do not inquire if you’re faint of heart. We need hard workers who aren’t turned off by cat smells. Because it takes time to train folks what to do, we want folks who will be back. Not a one and done volunteer. Serious inquiries please. Due to insurance restrictions volunteers must be at least 18 years old. We’re looking for folks on Saturdays sometime between 8:00-11:00 am. We’d like to be able to open up to the public for adoptions by 11:00 on Saturdays. However, if you’re really interested but this day doesn’t work, let us know. Please email inquiries to [email protected]. Thank you in advance!
