Hunter Needs Our Help!!!

This sweet boy is Hunter. Before Hunter was rescued from the streets and then from the shelter, he had a hard life, but no one could guess the extreme trauma he had been through based on his loving and trusting demeanor with his caring foster mom. Many of our rescued dogs show signs of abuse and/or neglect, but Hunter is a trooper. No one could see the pain that he is enduring until x-rays showed not only old pelvic fractures and an old femoral head fracture causing significant arthritic changes to the hip but also multiple BB pellets embedded in his body. On top of the physical complications, this poor boy also has heartworms. He will have to go through heartworm treatmeant before he can have the surgery to alleviate his hip pain.

How anyone can be so cruel to a defenseless sweet little dog is beyond our comprehension. Estimated to be around 4-5 years old, Hunter still has many years to catch up on being a happy loving dog. If you would like to help Hunter with his treatment, please click the link below to make a paypal donation. Any amount you give is tax deductible and is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for helping us save 210 dogs in 2011!!!

Every year our goal is to rescue more dogs than our previous year, and once again we have achieved that goal. This year we were able to rescue 210 dogs!! This is only possible with the many gracious donations we get from you and our wonderful rescue partners.

As this year comes to a close and you are considering where to make your charitable giving count the most, please consider putting a little money aside to help our needy animals. Our funds for all of our efforts are entirely donation based. In these hard times, unfortunately the animals are suffering too. Your donations are 100% tax deductible.

Each of us at Last Chance Arkansas cannot thank you enough for all the help you provide to us, whether it's by monetary giving, fostering or just spreading the word about our cause. We hope to make 2012 an even better year.

Big paws up from all of our furry friends and Merry Christmas to all!

NEW ADDITIONS TO OUR URGENT NEEDS LIST!!!! (9/7/11)

Henry (9/7/11)

Henry is a special boy. He lived in a 4x4 pen for 4 years with little to no attention from his owners.  We believe that Henry is between 4 1/2- 5 ys old. Henry is happy to be free and is loving all of the attention he is getting.  He's in foster care with other dogs where he plays non-stop. He loves toys and lives to retrieve them.  Henry is very smart and will make a great running partner.

Henry was neglected of proper medical  care in the past and needs to undergo heartworm treatment before he can be adopted. Please consider making a donation for Henry's heartworm treatment so he can enjoy the life he's waited so long to have. See more pictures of Henry on the Urgent Needs page.

Please go to Urgent Needs page if you can help with Henry's rehabilitation, and return here for updates on Henry's progress.

The Spirit of Christmas - Love, Hope and Compassion

Are you looking for more meaningful gifts to give this year?

A tax-deductible donation to Last Chance Arkansas is a gift that keeps giving. Rather than spending money on material goods, consider making charitable donations in honor of a friend or loved one.

See our Urgent Needs page to help out a needy and deserving dog.

Stay tuned for a donations page. Your holiday donations will be included. We'll also have memorial photos/dedications space for purchase soon!

URGENT!!!! Funding Needed For Heartworm Treatment

Many of the sweet dogs that Last Chance Arkansas select for rescue are also selected because of their severe need for medical attention leaving them with little chance of leaving the animal shelter if we didn't provide them with the necessary medical attention. One of the biggest threats for our dogs is the presence of heartworms. Unfortunately, with the recent announcement of a shortage nationwide for the drug used in heartworm treatment, the cost for treatment has skyrocketed. We already have 8 dogs identified for candidates as Last Chance dogs, but they are heartworm positive and our funds are running out.

In the weeks and months to come we will be focusing our fund-raising efforts on heartworm treatment, but until we can raise additional funds or grants, we will no longer be able to rescue heartworm positive dogs. Your donations as always are very much appreciated and especially needed during this crisis. We understand that you are making a conscious effort to help our cause when you choose to make your contributions to us. Even if you can't make any monetary contributions at the present time, if you can pass along our message to your friends and family you will be helping our cause.

Special Arkansas License Plates to Benefit Animal Rescue

Show off your support for animal rescue while promoting Arkansas animals shelters the next time you need to renew your tags.

There are two styles to choose from: "Support Animal Rescue & Shelters" or "Spay and Neuter". The cost is the same as the cost for registering special plates ($35.00) in addition to your license fee and a portion of the money is disbursed among needy animal shelters across the state.

If you don't want to wait till it's time to renew your tags, you can still go to your local DF&A office to get a new plate for $35. Keep in mind your tag expiration date will not change.
