LOST MALE DOG.
DO YOU KNOW this boy or are you missing your dog? He was found in Cherokee Village on 1/9/25 Chocolate Lab. Wants to go back home.Please call CVAC at 870 994-4445 if he is yours or if you know who he belongs to. PLEASE SHARE.

We know it might be difficult to travel and get out to the CVAC in the next day or so and as such, here are a few of the extra steps taken by staff and volunteers to prepare for just that:
-Get the dogs exercised. Extra time walking, extra time free run, extra time hanging out with office folks in the offices. They might have to hunker down in their kennels.
-spotting kittens under the office trailer: set traps, catch kittens and surprise, Momma (feral) . Get mother spayed and rested and set up her outdoor feeding station and shelter. Keep kittens and socialize.
-call and coordinate foster info and exchanges, keep the flow of adoptions and found animals going.
- put away the kind donations of warm blankets and towels.
-put out double kitty litter boxes.
-Feed dogs early, but then leave tomorrow’s food down before closing…”in case”.
-ditto for cats. Wet food now, dry food available “in case”.
-work outdoors. In 18 degree weather. For hours.
-post, post, post on FB for fosters and Adoptables and then be so very grateful for those that took in puppies 😇 and those adopting this week.
- check between everyone about who might be able to make it to CVAC if roads are bad. Face facts that vehicles might get parked somewhere nearby and just walk up.
- clean out an “emergency area” in case a litter is dumped or a pregnant animal is found. Sadly, it happens.
BE SAFE OUT THERE. WE ARE DOING THE SAME. THANK YOU COMMUNITY FOR THE FACT WE DO HAVE FOOD AND SUPPLIES AT THE READY!

Meet Phoenix, another of the Galaxy pups learning new things in a foster home. Phoenix is ready to add some joy and love to your life. This 4-month-old puppy is available for adoption and has these qualities to bring with her:
Unique Markings: Phoenix has a shiny black coat with one distinctive white paw.
Personality: Phoenix is a blend of affectionate and independent ( and by independent we mean smart). She loves people and enjoys cuddling, with that independent streak ready to be molded through continued puppy training. At CVAC she was doing well with coming when called and a quick learner with “sit”.
Training: Her foster is introducing house training and with patience and consistency, she will master this skill in no time.
Foster Home Experience: Phoenix has been enjoying foster home experiences, where she is learning new skills, socializing with people and getting plenty of love and attention.
To schedule a meet and greet with Phoenix please call CVAC at 870 994-4445, leaving a message if necessary.
THANK YOU to her foster for keeping this little one warm and cared for.

Congratulations to Piper and THANK YOU ADOPTERS! Piper is joining in with other cats in her new home. On a cold day, it’s easy to picture Piper cuddled up on a chair or watching out the window…safe and secure in her new home. And she deserves it as Piper raised her own five kittens at CVAC and then took on orphaned kitties💕.

Sam leaves tomorrow for transport to the eastern US where a family that spotted him on the Labs4Rescue site adopted him almost immediately. They have kept in contact with his awesome foster person here in Cherokee Village and will be right there to scoop this boy up when he arrives to their town.
A little sharing about Sam as he was one of our dogs for quite awhile:
-Sam was born at CVAC, travelled to many adoption events, ran the grounds at CVAC whenever possible, but still…for a year he was a CVAC dog. Because of his striking resemblance to a lab, and a high probability of lab genes, he was accepted into the Labs4Rescue organization.
-Our experienced lab foster began to introduce him to all the wonderful and strange experiences that come with living in a home (for the first time ever at age one). Sam quickly became house trained. He didn’t chew when left alone with resident dogs for short periods. He was easy to leash train. Did he have a fault? He was quite scared of the tv! But Sam was meant for family life just like all Labs/mixes.
CONGRATULATIONS to Sam for keeping his hopes and spirits high throughout a full year of waiting. THANK YOU to his great foster person.
And now: more great news. Sam has one brother left, Charlie, at CVAC whose adoption fee is sponsored by the Martha Decker Foundation. And in our previous post, a little mini Sam puppy is waiting to be adopted too. A little female lab type pup in foster will be featured also this week. Need more info on labs?, here is a fun link about why “people who love their labs, LOVE their labs.”

We posted our Galaxy puppies as Adoptables of the week last week, but now, thanks to the awesome short term fosters who took them in during this cold snap, we have better information to share with you. Tritan was featured on 1/5 and now we bring you Hubble! Hubble is available for adoption and here is information on him from his foster family and his volunteer caregivers at CVAC:
Hubble is a love bug. He preferred being with people over his food bowl even at CVAC, and followed close to caregivers. In his foster home, it is the same: he is a very loving pup. They report that Hubble is doing so very well. He is learning potty training, as with all puppies that would need to continue. Hubble learns very fast and he is being fostered in a home with both a big dog and two small ones that help teach him routine.
To schedule a meet and greet with Hubble, please call CVAC at 870 994-4445. Arrangements can be made with the foster family to bring them in.

The new Dog Facility at CVAC was finished just in the nick of time before very cold weather sets in. Our staff of Megan Mansfield, ACO and Brendan Medlock, AC Assistant were moving beds, new stainless steel water buckets and food dishes yesterday morning and then….the very excited dogs! In the rain, in the cold so that all were set for the night. Best features include: their home is warm.! The walk way up is level and dry even after the rain…it was not yet finished in the photo. It is designed for ease of cleaning…you can see the attached hose reel system. Each dog has a bed. Due to that ease of cleaning, while one person was cleaning, one person had time to walk each dog around the spacious grounds, most of them off leash and did they love that! We have many people to thank and there will be a future post to do just that, along with planning for an open house walk through. But of course, you are welcome to come out and view any of our adoptable dogs, calling ahead is always advised. 870 994-4445.

UPDATE: ADOPTION PENDING

🐶 🏠 Tritan’s first three days in a foster home!
Tritan is loving all the opportunities his foster is providing for him. Tritan is available for adoption and when you read what his foster has to say…you might not want to wait on this handsome 16 week old!:
“He is easily corrected and very easy to train. Enjoys watching tv! Self entertains when the other dogs aren't interested. His default maneuver is to sit. He is so adorable and full of love and his preferred resting spot is nestled up with his foster people. He is quite the toy hoarder! Tritan uses one specific p*e pad location when not outside with the others! (Admin note: wow, that’s in two days!!)”
A reminder that an adopter from Friday has sponsored an adoption fee for a CVAC dog. Tritan would need to return to CVAC for last puppy shot and neutering/rabies shot when of age.
Enjoy the photos of Tritan enjoying love, care, home, security! CallCVAC at 870 994-4445. Best hours are M-Th 9-1. Leave a message if necessary.

Listing a few, thanking ALL who have supported the animals.
-Have you noticed new flooring and paint in our adoption posts? People have given generously of money and time. (Painting, scraping, moving furniture)
-The Galaxy puppies have been eating nutritious, quality food following the donation of 3 large bags of puppy food and a case of canned food.
-Just when our dedicated cat volunteers were worrying about only having a few inches of kitty litter left, a gentleman arrived with a generous cash donation. Kitty litter and wet food!
-sheets, towels and blankets keep coming and we keep using them!
-many contractors and city workers have been in and out working on various projects, our thanks to them. The dogs will start moving into warm quarters just in time!
-as of this post, three Galaxy pups are in foster as of Friday, one was adopted Friday. THANK YOU..and wait til you see one of the pups coming up in another post enjoying a wonderful foster home!

Bubba the cat is entering a Foster to Adopt home. Foster to Adopt is an option open if a family or adopter has to be sure the home environment is just right for animals and people. We are pulling for you Jason and Bubba! This picture is worth a thousand words!

Nancy is just the prettiest cat, and she looks right at home with this young lady who is part of adopting her into a forever family! THANK YOU ADOPTERS! May the snuggles go on and on!

01/04/2025

THANK YOU ADOPTER! Who went beyond adopting a great dog and turned it into a “paying it forward” for another dog. You see, Ralph was born at CVAC. We knew of his love of playing and retrieving; never did he get enough opportunities. Now he will and he did not drop that toy you see in his mouth! Because of his longer time with us, the Martha Decker Foundarion sponsored his fee. When this gentleman found out Ralph’s fee was sponsored…he then used his money to sponsor another dog in need of a home. We are so appreciative! These 3 brothers are great dogs. There is now one left, Charlie, and his fee is also sponsored by MDF. Two opportunities to adopt a fee sponsored dog this New Year!

01/02/2025

12:00 UPDATE: one puppy adopted and the other three in fosters!!! We appreciate our community so much! THANK YOU!

UPDATE: three,possibly four, of the puppies will be warm and snug in separate short term fosters!🥰. THANK YOU to these amazing folks. If there is a last pup left at CVAC, we will put the word out again and will strive to meet your schedule over the weekend.

CAN YOU HELP? One puppy. 4 nights. PLEASE SHARE.
We admit, this is a sentimental, desperation reach out for short term fostering over the upcoming very cold nights. Let us share the Galaxy pups successes and why we are pleading:
When a very young litter is found neglected, such as these were 16 weeks ago, it is very rare for all to survive. They come with illnesses, lack of nutrition, parasites. They sometimes come with trauma. The Galaxy pups are exceptions! They are thriving, chubby, people loving pups! The staff and volunteers took care to keep them separate and with their (great) mother; they have been living apart from the chaos that comes with kennel life in with grown dogs. They have separate daily socialization and play time and exercise.
BUT: with the frigid temps, they will have to make the transition to kennels so they may be warm as space heaters will not do the trick. Kennels are loud, scary, noisy places when you are 16 weeks old.
We are trying to buy them time as our new facility is very close to completion and will be a good, warm, secure home for them. It’s just not ready yet.
We will support short term fostering to the best of our ability, wanting to see them in a foster ASAP. Especially on the coldest nights coming up. Tell us your schedule. Tell us your needs in supporting a short term fostering…we will try to meet it. What better way to beat post holiday doldrums than with the presence of a happy puppy? Call CVAC at 870 994-4445 if you can help, even short term, in providing continued optimal care for a Galaxy puppy.

📣 ADOPTABLES OF THE WEEK 🐶

The Galaxy Pups, our Adoptables of the week
There are 4 Galaxy puppies, approximately 15 weeks old, at CVAC. 2 females and 2 males with the names Phoenix, Athena, Hubble, and Tritan. Three are predominantly black with touches of white, one is black with tan markings. Do they ever LOVE people, showing their best puppy enthusiasm when they get their free time outside with a volunteer(s) who is working on the basics of puppy manners. They are learning sit and come and also receiving handling and social time with a variety of people who help. They have their different personalities but each one of them is a friendly, happy puppy, ready to be cuddled and played with. Their mother was the best Mother and quickly adopted…she was about 30 lbs. From top to bottom as you click on the photos are Hubble, M; Tritan, M; Athena, F; Phoenix,F.
The best way to get information on the Galaxy puppies is by calling the Cherokee Village Animal Control at 870 994-4445, leaving a message if necessary. Best calling hours are 10-2, M-Th. *CVAC is closed 12/31 and 1/1.

V***n is in a great home with a wonderful family. She will have three children loving and caring for this new tiny family member! THANK YOU ADOPTERS!

The adorable kittens posted recently are thriving and with that comes a need for wet cat food and kitty litter. Donations are very much needed and appreciated.
Donations can be dropped off at the collection doghouse at the CV town center, (2 Santee Dr.); at the shelter (please call first to make sure someone is there to accept it); or delivered from online sources to Cherokee Village City Hall 2 Santee Dr, Cherokee Village, Ar 72529. Attn: Animal Control

Hubble, one of the 4 remaining Galaxy Pups, had his first adventure away from the shelter! Here is what his Backpack hostess has to say about Hubble:
“Hubble was chosen from the four equally cute puppies as he just seemed a little more “people oriented” when watching him with his brother and sisters. The three hours flew by! Hubble laid on a blanket the whole ride home. We hung out on the back deck, getting to know each other and the other household members. Hubble certainly is a people person! Loves petting, sticking close to humans and a little sniffing about. A light snack of puppy chow and pumpkin and a fresh bowl of water were eagerly enjoyed and about ten minutes later, little Hubble started sniffing about. A walk down the deck steps and into the yard and yep, he did his business. Then came picture taking time and a little more exploring with Hubble sticking close. Another bit of deck time and then into the house for a little tv time ( aka cuddling). As Hubble enjoyed the comforts of a lap and petting, those eyes closed and he caught a little nap. We had such a great time with Hubble.”

REMINDER that CVAC puppies and dogs would love a short (or long) term foster over the holiday. CVAC is open til noon on Monday, but then closed Tues and Weds. Call to see about fostering, or even better, adopting. This short term fostering gives us info and it appears Hubble would be a calmer,perfect family pet.

The Galaxy Puppies

Ready for their forever homes! A bundle of energy and joy could be seen as the Galaxy puppies spent an hour soaking up the sunshine. With tails wagging excitedly, they chased each other around, took short leash walks and went to visit with volunteers in the office for loving and holding. Despite being in the CVAC facility, the puppies' spirits remain high and they love seeing people as they enjoyed being able to go outside after receiving their next round of puppy shots. They are waiting hopefully for their forever homes. Call CVAC at 870 994-4445 to make their holiday wishes come true.

While we would love to get individual photos of our puppies, you can see from this video that it is a difficult challenge. But please let us introduce our 5 Bully mix pups and two Heeler mix pups enjoying the day today outside in the sunshine and our big spacious grounds. They are recent intakes and will be in the process of getting vetted. They can be “fostered to adopt” which means they can go home with you and be “yours” but would officially be adopted when their spay and neuters are scheduled by CVAC. Please ignore the excited volunteers’ voices…they loved watching this happy bunch and couldn’t hold back their enthusiasm! Please call CVAC at 870 994-4445 if you would like to meet one of these puppies…we dare you not to break out in smiles!

A follow up to the previous post photos, showcasing the Highland High School Ag students with quick video of the students and dogs!

Click photo to start and hear the video and take a second Look at Miko, enjoying ALL the dogs and people at today’s adoption event and so happy to be outside in the great weather. The faces! Had to be shared. And if you want to meet this Anatolian Shepherd for yourself, CALL CVAC at 870 994-4445 to set up a meet and greet.

Our younger dogs getting out on a beautiful morning and enjoying free play time! Any one would be even more happy to run around a forever home’s backyard or take a walk with someone. Call CVAC at 870 994-4445 to meet any our our animals. Please leave a message if staff is on a call or attending to animal care. Or playing with puppies!!

Meow Monday continued. The video of the kittens just has to be shared😻
