URGENT APPEAL

Our intake has been completely closed due to limited resources and ongoing medical cases. However, we made an emergency exception for one dog because we simply couldn’t turn our backs on him.

He has been in a wooded area for the last week and injured. It appears he has been shot in the head. We are taking him to Jacksonville Animal Hospital tomorrow, Saturday, July 11th.

Right now, he is only in a temporary foster home, and we urgently need a committed foster to give him a safe place to continue his recovery.

At the same time, our rescue is under tremendous financial strain. We currently have six dogs undergoing heartworm treatment, and the medical expenses continue to grow. We urgently need donations to help cover this dog’s care as well as the ongoing treatment of the dogs already in our program.

Can you help?

Can you foster? Please call 847-846-8134 immediately.

Can you donate? Please scroll to the bottom of our website to make a tax-deductible donation. Every dollar helps us continue saying “yes” when dogs have nowhere else to turn.

Thank you for standing with us and giving dogs like this a second chance.

Our story

Our story started with our founder's son, Lance, and his friend, Owen, finding an abandoned puppy in December of 2023 while on a 40 mile backpacking trip. With no vets or shelters nearby, "Buford" was strapped to Lance's backpack and joined them on their adventure. Lynn, our founder, connected with Heather who fostered Buford for 2 months before being adopted by a family in Pennsylvania where he lives with a wonderful family! Lance, Heather, and Lynn are now impacting Central Arkansas by sharing the need for fosters far and wide while at the same time finding forever homes for dogs in Central Arkansas.
