We are an all volunteer 501(c)(3) animal rescue that primarily pulls death row animals from our local dog pounds. We focus on the pets that need us the most, dealing with primarily injured, abused, and/or neglected dogs and cats. We do everything we can to help our community with the ongoing dog and cat overpopulation by taking, finding rescue for or helping to re-home the abandoned, neglected, abused, dumped, strays and injured dogs and cats of Northeast Arkansas. There is no way to rescue our way out of Arkansas’s unwanted pet population. Spay and Neuter is the only possible way to begin to control the cat and dog overpopulation. We are a voice for those who have no voice. Please join us in our mission to make Arkansas a better state for animals. Spay/neuter has to be mandatory. Cruelty, abuse, abandonment, neglect laws have to be implemented. The way our state thinks of dogs and cats has to change. Teach our youth the importance of spay/neuter, compassion and kindness. That’s where change will come.
The adoption process starts with the potential adopter filling out an adoption application. Our board of directors will then review the application and then set up a time for the potential adopter to meet the dog or cat. After the meet and greet, an alfa member will bring the pet to your house to do a home visit and leave the pet with you. there is a two week trial period to ensure it's a good fit, and after the two weeks, the adoption becomes final! Adoption fees are $150 for dogs and $100 for cats. The adoption fees cover vet visits and care prior to adoption, microchip, spay/neuter, and vaccinations. Feel free to message us with any questions! If you are interested in meeting a dog/cat, please fill out the adoption application first, and then message us on Facebook or via email at admin@alfarescue.com to schedule an appointment!
