Any vets and techs in central Arkansas that would be willing to work at a low cost spay neuter clinic next Saturday 12/14 and/or mid January? I have been putting together some low cost spay neuter events and have a surgical RV but need veterinarians to help us. Vets and techs are paid through the Bissell Pet Foundation. Reach out to me ASAP if you or someone you know is a vet or tech that's willing to help once or twice a month. Events are typically in the central Arkansas area. Our event next week is in Perryville. Our event in January will be in Russellville. Help me find vets please!

Please remember our rescue this giving Tuesday 🙏 ❤️ 🐕

We can't do any of this without funds. Unfortunately money makes the world go round and it keeps these guys fed, safe and warm while they are looking for their forever....

Thank you!!

Central Arkansas- i need fosters for 3 six week old puppies ASAP...today. Is anyone able to foster either one or two pups or maybe one of my adult dogs? I have to get these puppies today from the homeless camp before they freeze. Any help is appreciated as I really have no where for them to go. I've got dogs every where already. :-( I don't know what to do with these puppies. I need time to get them vetted and spayed/neutered. Looking for fosters for 6-8 weeks. One boy, two girls. Currently weigh around 5 lbs. They are pittie terrier mix.

Pinebluff, AR area be on the look out for this dog.

Mickey and his antics. He keeps us in stitches. He is available for adoption. 10 months old. 40lb. A total ham with an underbite smile. Loves, loves, loves water. He wants to "dive" under water in his kiddie play pool in the summer months. He lounges in the water like he's a prince or something. Gets along with other dogs. Hasn't been tested with cats but I would say he's probably going to be a cat chaser. He has that stimulus/response kind of mentality. Super cute little guy. His only downfall is chewing. Not sure if it's his age or his underbite driving his chewing habits but he needs lots of stimulation and activity to combat boredom. Boredom is usually when he will chew. He loves deer antlers....the whole ones are much better than the split ones. Split ones are find in no time. It takes a few days or weeks to chew down whole antlers. (Hint, check Etsy for the best prices on antlers otherwise, you will pay out the nose).

Look at this sweet baby....I am so happy that Charlie was afforded some time in a loving home. He is one heck of a Trooper. The vet gave us a small laundry list of major things wrong with him but he is still hanging in there, loving life thanks to Frances Hendren Starnes . No amount of "thank you"s or money can demonstrate my gratitude for the love and care she has given him over the past year plus....

I love you Charlie. ❤️

Hershey, one of the pups from Help Cat Rescue that we took a few months ago, found his forever and I knew right away it was going to be a great match! Hershey traveled to his new family in New Jersey last week and his family is in love with him already. Look at these adorable pictures and video!!! Omg!!! I just love it!! This makes me so happy.

10/14/2024

Look who's feeling better....

The 3 parvo pups made it! They are now at rescue in isolation from the others for a couple of weeks but are doing great and look how adorable they are!!!!

I need fosters asap! The 3 parvo pups are doing better and the temporary foster needs to go back home to north Arkansas. I am having to take the pups here and put them in a quarantine pen as they may seem better with symptoms, but they will shed the virus for another month. I need to get some of my current healthy dogs into a foster to make room for these dogs. I've also got a dog being returned from a foster this week for the dog to start heartworm treatments so that's 4 dogs coming into rescue this weekend. I need a couple of fosters to take 1 or 2 dogs until I can get more adopted. I've got adults and a couple of young puppies. Some dogs are potty trained and some are still learning. I need help yall!!! The pics are of our healthy dogs that are available for foster or adoption.

The wonderful foster who has the puppies is doing a stellar job of taking care of them and she is lucky enough to have a compassionate vet's help. There is a nice vet standing in for the foster's father (who is an equine vet). The puppies are at their equine clinic. I can't believe how lucky we are to have found Whitney Witkowski. She lives over 3.5 hours away from her dad's clinic but she put her life on hold and came down here to take care of these puppies and get them out of the woods with this parvo. Her husband must be a saint too because he allowed her to be away from home so long and he is taking care of their animals. They are both amazing human beings.

Because a dog can shed parvo for a couple of months after they stop showing symptoms, the 3 puppies will need to be quarantined before they are ready to be introduced to other dogs. I have a solo kennel that I use for quarantine but it has puppies in it right now. I need to get some of my rescues in my kennel building into foster homes too make room for these sick ones.

💥💥Can anyone foster a dog?🔥🔥

I have several good dogs who would love to be in a foster home and get that one on one experience.

UPDATE 10/4 10:40a.m. -
A miracle just happened! Whitney Witkowski is going to save all 3 of these puppies! Heaven opened up and dropped her to rescue them. ❤️ Her dad is an equine vet and they are going to use space at their clinic to treat the puppies. We are going to need to supply her with medications and pay the Searcy vet bill on these guys which is going to be expensive. They will need supportive fluids and medications.

💥If anyone is able to contribute, please do. We are running on dust and we are out of dogfood as well. 💥💩

The two boys (light brown and white and chocolate one) broke with parvo last night and are having bloody diarrhea and vomiting. The female (dark brown and white) has not broken with it yet and she is about 10lbs heavier than the boys so she has a better chance of making it if she does get it.

It's going to be a challenge to get them well and it's not going to be pretty. Hopefully they all make it. Please joining me in thanking this kind person with such a big heart. Thank you Whitney Witkowski !!!!!!! 😇

Now we just have to see about getting them picked up in Searcy and taken to Royal, AR. I will post updates as the day goes on.

*********************************
I'm nervous and worried about these guys today. There are 2 that have no plan for survival and will be euthanized at 5pm. This is their last chance and honestly my stomach is upset from all the worrying. I don't have a good feeling about this. I've had an offer to foster the light brown and white pup, but the foster can't take him until Sunday so I have to figure out where he can stay safe at until then. The other two, the chocolate lab looking and dark brown/white, don't have any offers so they will be euthanized if no one steps up. I really fear that is going to happen. I hate being negative, but it's such a tough situation to find help with. I'm going to fight to the end though. Keep sharing. They are currently located in Searcy, AR but can be transported within 3 hours of Searcy.

10/03/2024

UPDATE Thursday 5:06pm - the vet has been nice enough to give the puppies subcutaneous fluids and he will give me until end of day tomorrow (Fri 10/4) to find fosters before he euthanizes them. He would like to see them make it too but they are a vet practice and not a rescue. They can't keep them over the weekend so its end of day tomorrow or not at all. He did say that anyone volunteering to foster should know that you can't just put them in a crate with food and water and expect them to get better. They will need care. They will need subcutaneous fluids administered which he or I can give instruction on. If you can give a vaccination, you can give subcutaneous fluids. They will also need antibiotics. He said these 3 haven't started with diarrhea and vomiting yet but he said it will be smelly when/if they do. There will be clean up involved. If you have adult dogs that are fully vaccinated there is less than a 1% chance of them contracting parvo from them. If you have young pups or senior dogs, they would need to steer clear of the pups and hand washing/sanitizing is essential to not spreading the virus. Cats are not affected by parvo. Only dogs.

As of this moment, I'm still looking for fosters for them.

**************************
I only have about an hour left to save these 3 puppies from euthanasia. Can anyone help? Their litter got parvo and they are the ones who have survived and haven't broken with a severe case but regardless, their owner surrendered them and the vet is doing a last ditch effort to try and find someone to save them before he has to euthanize them. Can someone help? I am so heart broken. I don't think we are going to be able to save them. No one is responding and vet gave a timeline of 5pm unless we have a solid offer to take them and then they will wait to euthanize and give time for them to be picked up. We don't have any responses so it's looking like this might be their last hour of life. Heartbroken doesn't even describe how I feel. They are just babies.....

SOS! Fosters needed for these 3 pups or they will be euthanized at 5pm today. This is in Searcy, AR. Their litter broke with parvo. These 3 haven't been very sick but two of their littermates have already been euthanized because of how sick they were. Owner surrendered them to the vet and vet is going to have to euthanize if I can't find help for them. I only have 2.5 hours to find help for them. They don't all have to go to the same foster and can be split up. They are lab mix pups. 5 months old. Can anyone save them? I'm already in the dog house with Mark for taking 3 dogs last week when we are already busting at the seams. I absolutely have no space to put 3 sick pups. I need help asap! Please don't let them die!!! Reach out to me ASAP.

Last week, with the help of the Jason Heigl Foundation, some wonderful vets and volunteers, and Tractor Supply Co. North Little Rock we were able to spay and neuter 72 pets for free for their owners! Our primary goal was to spay and neuter as many pets of the homeless community as possible. Once we registered as many homeless owned pets as were available, we worked with other organizations to identify individuals struggling to spay neuter their pets and filled the rest of our appointments.

In addition to the spay/neuter & rabies that the Heigl Foundation paid for, Valentine K9 Rescue donated all annual vaccinations, wormer and a flea/tick treatment for dogs and cats.

Max and Neo is an awesome business in Arizona that supports rescues with donations of leashes and collars. They donated martingale training collars for each of the dogs.

Thank you to SO Restaurant-Bar and Dizzy's for providing extremely tasty lunches for our volunteers each day!

Please go support all of these organizations! They are doing wonderful things to help our community. ❤️

I am so proud of our team of vets, volunteers and donors. I'm humbled to know each of them and am so grateful for their contributions.

I am extremely grateful for the Jason Heigl Foundation for giving me the opportunity to help our community again this year by paying the spay/neuter surgeries, rabies and cones for the dogs. I can't say enough good things about this organization and those who run it. I mean honestly, how many people/organizations do you know that have or will donate their money so others can have their pets fixed at no expense? No one that's who! The Heigl Foundation is the only organization I know that is offering this to the public. If you are looking for a reputable organization to donate to, I highly recommend you add them to your list. They are doing many wonderful things with the funds. ❤️

We are looking at hosting low cost spay neuter events in the future. The only way out of this mess is through spay and neuter!! Please support our cause.
