NovaStar Rescue

To educate, advocate, rescue and rehabilitate. NovaStar Rescue is a small nonprofit rescue located in Dover Arkansas. This is our purpose and mission.

Our main focus is to advocate , educate, rescue and rehabilitate Bully Breeds with a special emphasis on the pitbull. We believe Pitties are the most loyal yet most misunderstood dogs. Whether they come from off the streets or out of the shelters, every Pittie deserves a chance at a good home where they will be loved and cherished as a family member.

We were contacted about this little dog several days ago. She was hanging out on hwy 359 outside Lamar. A lady was feeding her but could never get close. Today Michael Beachamp went out with our trap. Within a few hours he had her safe. He also found where her "owners" had dumped her little coat and her toy with her. 😠

This baby is no more than 15 lb and sweet as she can be. She is safe here at the rescue now. We will get her checked out at our vet tomorrow and then we would love a foster for her. She is timid but not bitey or Snappy at all. We have named her Micah.

Please put in an application to foster if you can help Micah!

Valor Update 09/11/24

Valor had his amputation yesterday and he did great and recovery for this beautiful boy is underway! This was most definitely a kill shot and had Valor not taken just one step he have not been here with us!

This sweet boy has a road of recovery ahead of him but he is so strong and we will be right there with him!

We appreciate all of the donations as we continue to pay off his vet bill.

Thank you all so much! We will update again once he is able to go come with his foster.

Another case of Humans letting down the most loyal creature on earth.

We introduce you to Valor. Valor was taken to a vet clinic by who he thought loved him and just left there to be Euthanized because he was hit by a car and they just couldn’t afford to help him. After having X-rays taken it came to light that valor was NOT hit by a car at all. This poor gentle boy was shot, Straight through the shoulder and it’s completely shattered requiring amputation.

We have named this beautiful boy Valor which means great courage in face of danger. He will have his leg amputated on Tuesday because the location of the broken bone is not fixable sadly. So this sweet handsome boy has a long road of recovery ahead of him and we are ready to love him every step of the way!

If you are in a place to help this beautiful boy we would greatly appreciate it!

Below we have listed the veterinary hospital where he will have his amputation done, if you’d like to call and donate directly to his bill.

Bryeview Veterinary Hospital
870-777-6774

Here is the Amazon wishlist for him once he is able to go home with his foster. This list will be shipped directly to her.

Garnet NEEDS A HOME ❣️❣️
Garnet ♥️♥️
Friends .. Garnet is on our mind . We need a little extra help once again from you all. Garnet was at our rescue almost a year and a wonderful couple took her in to foster her and improve her life. It’s time for Garnet girl to find a forever, without going back into a pen. Going back into a pen is 2-3 times as hard on dogs as going in the first time. Some just get so depressed they can’t handle it. Garnet is NOT cat friendly. She gets along with other dogs and she is house potty trained. Garnet is a love bug and she needs her forever humans now more than ever . Garnet is currently in Wisconsin but if interested please seek us and we can figure it out . Please help our Garnet girl ❤️

🌟 WISHLIST WEDNESDAY 🌟

We are dedicating this Wednesday's WishList to a couple of sad little mommy dogs we have brought in in the last few days. Mommy Millie was found stray with horrible mastitis and wounds and starving. After a trip to Dr Parker for some pain meds and antibiotics, good food and getting rid of parasites, she is doing amazing!

Inaya was found abandoned, full of milk, and emaciated with lots of hair loss. No puppies were found so we assume they kept her puppies and threw her out. 🙁 😥 She went to the vet yesterday. She had skin allergy/flea dermatitis, way too thin, and an upper respiratory infection. She is on antibiotics and got a steroid shot at the vet. Now to start putting weight on her!!

Our biggest need this week is puppy food, wet and dry, for all our puppies and these 2 starved mommies. Please help if you can and please share!!

Thank you to everyone who has sent items off our WishList. We appreciate it so very much and the Stars say thank you for all their goodies!!

🌟AUGUST 2024🌟

We have officially hit FIVE HUNDRED dogs moved in 2024! We are 2/3 of the way through the year and already 22 dogs more than last years total moved!! This is AMAZING!

For August we have our highest number of dogs moved at 85 total! We also have highest amount of dogs transported at 47 and our second highest amount of dogs adopted at 38! We couldn’t be more proud of our team and supporters, so THANK YOU!

We have set a few goals we would love to achieve! As many know we were trying to reach 50 adoptions in August… though we were not able to reach that goal we are not giving up. We will keep that goal each month until we reach it!

So our goals to achieve before 2025 begins are below. We would like to reach 50 adoptions in one month, we would like to move 100 dogs in one month, and we would like to have a total of 750 dogs moved by the end of 2024!

Help us do this, whether you would like to foster, adopt, volunteer, donate, or share our posts!

Hey friends .. we need help yet again. We have this awesome little set of brothers that desperately need a home. They are bonded so we’d love for them to stay together. They have been in a temporary foster home, but they have to be moved now. We do not want these boys put in a pen in the heat. They are small and they don’t take up much room …. But there are two of them 😂😊. Could anyone foster or ADOPT⁉️PLEASE ❣️

Our Story

NovaStar Rescue is a small, predominantly foster-based, rescue in Ola, Arkansas. We are not breed specific but our main focus has always been to save, educate, and advocate for the pitties. Whether our dogs are rescued from the streets, saved from a shelter, or their owners have surrendered them we firmly believe that every dog deserves a chance to have a good home where they can be a loved and cherished member of the family.
