I’m Your Huckleberry Spay & Neuter Clinic

01/02/2026

We have been counting again…exhausting isn’t it?

Spay and neuter will ALWAYS be our mission but sometimes we do this side hustle called transport. So how does this work?

Let’s just say there are alot of unwanted dogs/pups that quite can’t all find a bed at our local shelter or the rescue says hey we have this litter we are trying to help.

Next step….how many, how old…good with other dogs, cats, kids…medical history….evaluate current safety issues.

Next step start texting our out of the area rescue contacts. Beg, pray, negotiate for additional services to be provided. There are always more than can get a yes…

If you get a yes, figure out who will drive, organize kennels in a van, get health certs done, gas the van, get all dogs identified with collars and leashes, get paperwork prepared/emailed in advance and ask fosters to be at point a, b ,or c starting at 4:45 am. As many as 30 at a time. This weekend…20. Next weekend 23.

In 2025 our everyother weekend run shuttled 286 dogs and 5 cats out of state with the help of our drivers Vignesh Mcgauthry, Tracy Muniz, Arlen and Vie Keller, Whitney Whitkowski and Nicole Blevins.

We added more with our monthly transport with The Bond Between which comes here in partnership with us and a number of local NWA shelters and rescues. Estimating what we sent to them and a few other rescues we added another 200 +~. 35 leave Saturday.

The side gig that’s helping relieve the pressure on shelters and rescues while finding homes for deserving pets…part of who we are, but rest assured these litters are mom and dads last. Taking the no more litter pledge is non negotiable if you seek our help. Our featured photos pups will leave here on 1/10/26.

Your kind donations of food and funds make this extra work possible. It’s expensive, averaging $25 per dog which is an extra $12,000 we needed to find “somewhere” this past year.

If you would like to be a Transport Angel in 2026, please connect with Romaine. We will accept your donation to be used for this work.

We do hate asking first thing on New Years Day, but our dog food supply is ZERO. For a very reasonable $25 for a 40 pound bag, Country Health dog food is available at Bomgaars in Jane across from Walmart. Any help you can provide would be so appreciated. We will be at the clinic tomorrow and Saturday doing what we do best, fixing everyone’s pets!

While we were counting( we are pretty good at math) the Queens of Clean have been scrubbing instruments and doing laundry for more than 100 days of surgery this year. These ladies are definitely underpaid( big fat zero) for all the time they work to make sure no hair or lint gets into the surgery packs.

Add in the hours the Crazy Lunch Lady contributes to our organization and our calculator almost broke!

🥁Drumroll please….2,300 hours of volunteer time in 2025! Thank you for your dedication to our cause; see you on Friday 1/2/2026!

You’ve seen their work many times but now you’ll know the rest of the story!
😇the angels we know as the recovery team have logged 1,800 hours of volunteer time this year. Every day they average 18 hours of donated time to care for our precious clients during their wake up time.
They clean ears, trim nails and are often seen pulling ticks. Heavy dogs are the epitomy of “team lifting”. Such glamorus work 🤦🏼‍♀️ yet they keep showing up!

Thank you from all your furry friends for all you do and we will see you in 2026!

We just love seeing adoption photos of some of our s/n alumni, especially when they came off the “hill”! Rocko you are the best!

🎉 HAPPY TAILS, ROCKO! 🎉

We are so excited to share that Rocko has officially been adopted! 🐶✨ This sweet boy has found his forever home, and we couldn’t be happier for him.

Goodbye shelter life, hello forever home! 🏡❤️

This is Romaine and I’d like to thank you for your kind birthday wishes which actually happens to be today, 12/26.

While I’m often asking for help in some physical or financial way to keep our clinic doing what we do, today I have a request for my own personal dog, Stanley, who is with me in this photo.

About a week ago our precious boy was diagnosed with cancer of the tonsil, a rare yet very aggressive cancer. All known tissue has been removed but the few studies done are not very optomistic. Fortunately testing did not detect any tumors outside the mass but due to the nature of the cancer, it’s likely there are some rogue cells somewhere.

So my ask today is for your prayers as we start chemotherapy to try and buy us some more time with the best dog there is; the one that’s my heart dog. He’s welcomed hundreds of fosters into my home, helped socialize many puppy mill dogs ( he was one) and has been the best door greeter you could ever imagine.

I’ll be in the clinic as much as I can be as we travel this road, but rest assured that our fabulous team will give you the care that every pet deserves when you entrust them to us.

Pearl is wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas just like she has had. You see Pearl is one of 50 dogs that our clinic has altered this year from just one home. With no funds these dogs have been multiplying for about 5 years. Many have been given away in parking lots and thru connections of the family, but there was always another litter.
Your donations have made these life saving surgeries possible. We have transferred out of the home about 25 dogs and there are now 28. When we ask for dog food, much of it goes to feed these dogs. Ideally the dogs could be moved into the rescue but rarely is there an open kennel so feeding them and keeping them where they are is currently the only answer we have.
Pearl’s eye was injured on the property due to fighting due to overcrowding. After realizing she would never produce enough tears to keep her eye healthy, the eye was removed.
We are grateful to Camp Companion and their wonderful foster for caring for her for almost 3 months. Ultimately though, she was brought back to NWA and adopted by her foster here! Talk about a Christmas wish come true for this sweet girl!
Your generous support has helped this family more than we can ever express here and we want you to know that we will continue to advocate for those animals that have nothing but hope for a meal and protection from the weather and abuse. It’s who were are and we will continue our mission of spaying and neutering as many as we can with the resources we have.
Pearl once again says thank you and wants to let you know her very attractive brother is available for adoption!
