This is where Arkansas holds the value of an animals life and their welfare. They absolutely REFUSE to make abusers suffer the consequences and give punishment that is equal to the crime. This state has no regard for animals and it’s disgusting. Once again, a rescue is left holding the bag! They do it out of an unwavering love for these animals and I for one appreciate their work. Please find a local rescue and donate to them. They will put it to good use!

Stately, handsome, attentive, comforting, bighearted, friendly and kind. All adjectives that describe Shepard. He’s also smart and quick. He is not a trouble maker or a pot stirrer. He’s just a nice guy. The kind of guy you can depend on to show up no matter how bad the weather is. Shepard is a two-year-old, 53-pound yellow lab mix. He is a sincere and honest young man, and he will melt your heart. Without a doubt, he will.

The county shelter is having to make some hard decisions. Zero animals going out to 10-20or more coming in daily. With zero adoptions. You do the math. To make room for an incoming animal,the ones there , well you know… I cannot put into words the frustration and helpless feeling of not being able to save the perfect animals that will be killed.
GDamit people, KEEP YOUR PETS, SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS AND. STOP STOP STOP DUMPING YOUR PETS!!!

Shelter is full. They have to make room and unfortunately how it has to be done is not what any of them want to do. Please adopt don’t shop. Please go down and get a dog or cat. They are doing their part so the community needs to do there’s.

Monthly we see rescues closing their doors due to lack of support, stress, and being overwhelmed.
Mandy and Paula know first hand how hard rescue is daily. Seeing the abused, spending 7 days a week in over 100 degree temperatures or way below freezing temperatures. Seeing the bills roll in and not knowing how we will cover it all monthly.
Quitting is something we have never thought about. Seeing the number of animals that need help is mind blowing and overwhelming at times.
Kennels full, bills due, messages in our inbox, kennels needing to be cleaned, mouths need to be fed, medicine needs to be given, vet appointments, and 20 hour transportation twice monthly keeps us going.
Sadly in the animal world evil outweighs the good. This is something we will never understand
Arriving every morning seeing and hearing the happiness of animals that are glad to see us, or the ones that have been so abused cowards down in the corner wanting to be touch, but just too sacred.
Many seem to voice opinions daily and that is their right, but until you actually walk in a rescuers shoes seeing what we see, touching what we touch, jumping for joy seeing homes found, or holding the animals while they take their last breath that arrived to late and too sick to pull through maybe just maybe more would understand
MMAR has been operating for over 15 years now and the challenges we face are overwhelming at times. The threats we receive when we are full and can not take a animal is ridiculous.
MMAR animals are safe no matter how long it takes to find their place in this world. We do our best to make them feel like family. We play, give treats, toys, take walks, or sit in kennels for one on one time.
Even though we would love to see our kennels empty knowing homes have been found we focus on ones that have landed in places that are at risk of euthanasia.
We could easily quit and throw our hands up. Start wearing decent clothes, taking vacations, or even go out for dinner, but it will not happen. Even though all those things sound amazing our minds and hands will continue to rescue.
The biggest question is: When rescues/city pounds/shelters close what happens to the animals that need them?
When we see people bashing rescues and we ask ourselves where is this person? Is this person helping or just a person that sits behind a keyboard.
Mandy and Paula both have fought for years, both have health issues, but we have our boots on the ground daily.
It’s ok to have meltdowns, cry, but please never quit. Quitting means so many more will suffer. Lean on each other and work together. Be part of the solution and not the problem.
Animals all over this world are treated so unfairly and most cities or counties do not enforce animal cruelty laws.
With this said we will be out making a difference today, tomorrow, and until our worn out bodies will not allow us too anymore.

The situation just gets worse.

The community has got to help out. This shelter and all shelters and rescues are drowning in animals. If you choose to pick an animal up then follow thru with helping it. Post them, put up fliers. The best way you can help animals is to keep them out of the shelter. Give them a break!
