    Rescue Road is a 100% volunteer-run, foster-based, 501(c)3 nonprofit in Central Arkansas. Shelters across our state have high euthanasia rates, and we aim to relieve pressure on rural, high-intake areas to help lower those rates. We are dedicated to saving abandoned and neglected dogs from our core shelter partners: Pine Bluff, West Memphis, Hazen, Carlisle, Dewitt, and Stuttgart. We also assist law enforcement with special cases as needed. In 2023, Rescue Road sent 580 dogs to safety. Since the rescue's inception in 2012, we have saved more than 8,500 dogs and counting.

    In 2005 Last Chance Arkansas was founded as a 100% volunteer based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based out of Central Arkansas. Last Chance AR believes in advocating for the abused, abandoned, and neglected animals across the state that cannot speak for themselves. Working in conjunction with various clinics, Last Chance AR travels statewide to urban and rural communities to provide comfort, safety, and love to animals in need. Hundreds of lives have been saved through our efforts, which include a spay and neuter program for impoverished pet owners, frequent visits to rescue animals from shelters suffering from a desperate lack of funding, and the complete inability for any of our patient and dedicated volunteers to turn down a creature in need. We serve as a resource to our community and local pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training and good nutrition. We work with committed volunteers, veterinarians, fosters, and trainers to provide health care and temporary homes to animals deserving of another chance. Our number one priority is ensuring the health of all of our dogs and carefully screening and well matching ‚furever homes.

    Out Of The Woods was established in early 2007 by experienced rescuer Kathy Woods along with Shawn Schouweiler and fellow friends in rescue who wanted to fill a need for a different kind of rescue; a need in where they believe that all domesticated animals regardless of their size, breed, color or situation deserve to have a loving home. We rescue our pets primarily from the rural areas of Arkansas, some are abandoned and/or abused. We rescue from animal "hoarders" or collectors who take in more than they can possibly care for, sometimes in the hundreds. We promote efforts to spay and neuter all pets; one of the ways we do this is by assisting in finding low cost sterilization to families in rural areas with limited incomes. We must stop the needless breeding that occurs when families cannot afford to properly care for their pets. We also focus on helping independent rescuers who take in and then care for "stray" pets until an adoptive home is found.

    ArkanPaws Animal Rescue is a group of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about helping homeless animals through rescuing, fostering, vetting and rehabilitating until they are placed into their FUR-EVER homes. We’re located in central Arkansas; however, we transport about 85% of our dogs into New England where they are placed into short-term foster care or permanent homes. Although most of our animals reside in Arkansas, transport is available weekly. With the mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home in-need pets, the group was established in 2012 by a small group of concerned women and received its nonprofit status in 2013. Since in operation, about 4,000 dogs and cats have benefited from services ranging from: spay/neuter, vet services, found pets being reunited with owners, food donations, and re-homing. We work directly with lawmakers to create and improve laws, improve the conditions of existing animal shelters, and have developed a foster program run by volunteers in the community, both in Arkansas and New England. We are committed to building a community of devoted pet families and educating people on why it is so important to spay and neuter their animals. Arkansas is one of the many southern states with a serious pet overpopulation problem which leads to many beautiful, healthy, adoptable pets dying needlessly every day. By transporting north, we are saving thousands of lives each year and getting these amazing animals into deserving homes and ending the breeding cycle. By adopting to families in New England, that means we are leaving homes available in Arkansas so they may adopt from local shelters or rescues who only adopt locally. We are continuously developing and expanding our network of volunteers and fosters, and are always looking for help. Apply today to join our team in Arkansas or Rhode Island!

This means working to end animal abuse, animal fighting, overpopulation, lack of shelter/rescue/facility space, and the increase in the enforcement of animal welfare laws. Our mission is to Educate, Collaborate, and Participate in order to improve the lives of pets and farm animals alike. Arkansas Animal Alliance aims to work with the general population, shelters, Animal Control Facilities, rescues, and at the government level to achieve our goals. Collaborate: Arkansas Animal Alliance supports collaboration with other nonprofits, agencies, facilities, and the government in an effort to enact change, believing that working together is in the best interest of animal welfare. We at the Arkansas Animal Alliance aim to collaborate with the state’s municipal and county animal control facilities to ensure that animal welfare laws and state regulations are being followed.

Through the development of relationships with rescue groups we hope to expand available resources and provide mutual support. Educate: We at Arkansas Animal Alliance aim to educate those involved in the lives of animals. The first step in educating both the general population and professionals is by providing RESOURCES. This includes who to contact and how to report animal abuse and fighting. We also believe in providing information on available spay and neutering clinics, Shelters and Animal Control Facilities, and animal rescues. Arkansas Animal Alliance has the goal of using education and advocacy to end the selling and giving away of cats and dogs that have not been neutered/spayed as well as expanding available affordable spay and neutering facilities.

Participate: We at Arkansas Animal Alliance have the mission of taking actions in an effort to improve the welfare of animals across the state. An importantof ours is the development of a one-call system for animal abuse reporting in Arkansas. This will be an active step in ending the neglect and physical harm inflicted on animals. To reduce the overpopulation of animals Arkansas Animal Alliances plans to increase the available affordable spay and neuter clinics. We aim to develop and implement oversight of the state’s municipal and county animal control facilities and a statutory advisory board on animal welfare laws in an effort to support basic animal needs and welfare and improve regulatory practices. Arkansas Animal Alliance aims to lobby the state’s legislature on behalf of animal welfare. To summarize, Arkansas Animal Alliance plans to make change at the individual, organizational, and governmental level to improve the lives of animals across Arkansas.

    Animal Protection Since 2015 Saving dogs was a passion that started with our Director, Jennifer with her first Schnauzer picked out of a ditch in Arkansas in 1996. Several years went by while she raised her family. In 2007 and 2008 she got two foster dogs that foster failed Vivi and Fattums, and from there the race was on with yet another foster failure Hans Weim in 2011. Seven years of mentoring our vet clinic, shelters and rescues in different roles from transport, fostering all way to Board of Directors. Our Director and Co-director, Beth, kept their Paws grounded on the bigger picture. GDAR became an official 501(c)3 rescue on May 12th, 2015. GDAR takes in homeless, abandoned and owner surrender animals as space permits. We take pride in caring for the animals. All the animals are brought back to a healthy state, fully vetted, spayed or neutered, put on heartworm prevention and microchipped before adoption. We rely strictly on donations from the public and grants from private sources. Please see our Donation Page to help continue our mission.

    Rescue begins with Love A 501c3 non-profit dog rescue in Sheridan, AR We are a small family dog rescue with a few great volunteers. We are former volunteer rescue transport drivers turned rescue owners after having witnessed such a need for fosters and rescues to provide a safe haven for dogs while they awaited transport and/or adoption. We take our convictions to these dogs very seriously and believe each dog deserves care, love and attention. Our History After having been heavily involved in volunteer rescue transports for dogs pulled from high kill shelters in the south traveling through Arkansas to northeastern United States rescues, we saw the dire need for a rescue safe haven where dogs could reside while waiting for transport coordination. We began to recognize the need for fosters for the many strays, as well as homeless and shelter pets who simply needed a helping hand to get to a better life. Using our life savings, our organization was formed to help bridge that gap and get these dogs the lives and love they deserve.

    The Adoption Center/Animal Shelter is host to approximately 2,000 animals each year. Whether the animal stays for only a few hours before being reunited with his/her family, or stays for several weeks before being adopted, we treat each pet with kindness and compassion. We are fortunate that our adoption rate is very high, with approximately 90% of adoptable and healthy pets are adopted from our shelter, transferred to rescue groups or placed with a shelter partner. While adoption is never guaranteed for any pet brought to us, you can rest assured that we will do everything we can to place every pet into a life-long home. The shelter provides many services to the community, such as: • Intake of Stray or Found Animals • Pet Adoptions • Owner Reclaims • Sale of City Licenses for Dogs and Cats • Sale of Wild Animal Permits • Spay/Neuter Vouchers (SNIP) • Pet Re-Homing Assistance • Pet Behavior Referrals • Humane Education for Schools and Community Organizations • Disaster Assistance • Emergency Boarding • End of Life and Pet Cremation Services • Paws in Crisis Program (which provides free, temporary housing of the pets for victims fleeing domestic abuse)

    Little Rock

    We could not give up this girl to be adopted so she is now our ambassador for KC Pet Rescue. After all, she is the reason our small community group came together. We had all kinds of support from our local area after saving these babies. We thought if the community is helping with these seven just think what we could be doing for our city. Well this is where it all began and now we are head strong in helping our little town of Morrilton, Arkansas, save the ones that are in dire conditions. Who We Are KC Pet Rescue is a non-profit, no-kill, volunteer emergency dog rescue organization serving the Morrilton, Arkansas area. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs left homeless, dogs in public shelters where they are at high risk of euthanasia due to pet overpopulation, dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect. We strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for our pets. To us, rescue isn't just about the dogs. It is also about bringing joy and happiness into lives of adopters who have a void that only a furry friend can fill. Please help us to care for homeless pets in our local area. Our History KC Pet Rescue started with a plea for help on Facebook. A dog was abandoned and emaciated with six puppies still nursing. We called her KC, pictured below. She was severely under weight and giving all she had to her pups. We were told she was very protective and would not let anyone get near her or her pups. When we saw the picture of her we couldn't leave her there alone. Directions of her location was sent to us and away we go. The plan was to at least save the puppies, if she wouldn't allow us close to her and possibly set a trap for KC. Plans changed the minute I opened the door and KC walked right up to me and licked my hand. It was like she knew we were there to help her. My heart broke to actually see in person her condition. The puppies were healthy at the expense of KC's. We believe she was dumped there before she gave birth to the puppies. The vet told us they were about four to five weeks old but could start eating puppy food and to start weening them early. KC's condition would be a lot worse if we didn't. We want to thank everyone that was involved in saving these precious babies and their mom. We want to let you all know with your support we can change the conditions that our animals live in and we have to pull together as a strong community to do so. Our Current Work Our group has been rescuing dogs for many years separately. KC has united us and we discovered the need for a local rescue group for such emergencies. We work closely with other rescues agencies to get the dogs happy forever homes. We have been working with the city to help the dogs that are being euthanized in the Morrilton City Pound after their time is up. The local shelter is now a no kill shelter. As a community we can help the overpopulation of dogs and cats by being actively educating the need for spaying and neutering your pets. Our Future Our future has become reality, Morrilton Animal Control is a no kill shelter. With the community's support we made this become a reality. We will continue to work with the city to improve conditions for our pets.

    Little Rock

    ARE FOR ANIMALS: RESCUE. REHOME. SPAY/NEUTER. Created in 1998, CARE has grown from an initial group of four volunteers into an organization with three employees and hundreds of volunteers who devote thousands of hours to its rescue/adoption and spay/neuter efforts and to recruit the necessary financial support. CARE is a 501(c)(3) Arkansas nonprofit corporation and a charitable organization fully funded by donations. All donations are tax-deductible. CARE's headquarters/gift shop is located at 5516 Kavanaugh Boulevard, Little Rock (in the Heights Business District). CARE does not have a physical animal shelter and operates out of our office in Little Rock's Heights neighborhood. We use this website as a virtual shelter, where you can view the available pets for adoption and submit your online Adoption Application. To date, CARE's rescue/adoption effort has saved over 4,700 animals---once homeless or unwanted, these pets have now been placed into loving homes. Also, because we have no shelter, CARE relies upon volunteers to "foster" adoptable pets until permanent homes are found. In December 2011, CARE found a way to expand its rescue/adoption effort by partnering with the Arkansas Department of Correction's Arkansas Paws in Prison program, which places adoptable CARE dogs temporarily into state prisons for housing, socialization, and training by professionally-supervised inmate trainers--- this remarkable program is a win-win for CARE, the Department, the dogs, and the inmates! Bottom-line: the number of adoptable pets that CARE can accept into its rescue/adoption program at any time is determined by the number of available spaces for them---either in volunteer foster homes or Paws in Prison. Our spay/neuter effort has helped nearly 14,000 pets! CARE's vouchers are available for use in obtaining discounted spay/neuter services at designated veterinary clinics across the state. CARE relies heavily upon volunteer assistance to operate. Volunteer support is essential to accomplishing CARE's mission. Many different volunteer jobs are available including fostering, case working, showing, transporting adoptable animals, staffing the CARE gift shop, assisting with office work, and planning/working each fundraising event.

    Little Rock

    National English Shepherd Rescue, Ltd. started in the spring of 1997 as an offshoot of the English Shepherd Club's rescue committee's investigation of whether or not any English Shepherds actually needed rescuing. The answer was a definite yes. Thankfully, the breed is obscure enough and most breeders responsible enough that not that many English Shepherds need rescuing. We've rescued about 50 dogs a year since then plus worked with shelters and other rescues to place English Shepherds and ESy dog in their care. We also work with owners and breeders to try to prevent English Shepherds from needing rescue. We would love to put ourselves out of business, but with the breed's increasing popularity that dream seems unlikely. NESR consists of a small volunteer Board of Directors and a wonderful network of volunteers from the Club and the online email lists. Our rescue mission would not be possible without the help of people all across the country who are willing to visit and evaluate dogs in shelters, provide transportation, and both long and short term foster care. The heart of any rescue is with these unsung heroes and we are grateful for their support and dedication.

Having grown up in busy Santa Barbara, Jen, an introvert from an early age, would seek out solitude and serenity away from tourists attractions and droves of people visiting from elsewhere. “My grandparents own 60 acres about a 30 minute drive from here, and I grew up spending every summer and every holiday visiting them on the ranch,” Jen explained. “In Santa Barbara, we wouldn't go to the beach on the weekend because that's where everybody was, so you'd find places off the beaten path where the tourists weren't.
