The Izard County Animal Rescue Effort (ICARE) was first organized in March, 2003 by a group of volunteers in Melbourne, (Izard County) Arkansas, for the purpose of promoting responsible, compassionate care and relief of suffering for animals while providing low-cost spay and neuter programs to the community. We received our non-profit 501(c)(3) status on November 19, 2003. We do not have a shelter. All our animals are cared for in foster homes throughout the county. We do make out-of-state adoptions.
PETS ARE NOT PLACED ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS. We are here to fill the needs of the animals first. The purpose of our adoption program is to find responsible, lifelong homes for animals suitable for family pets. It is our goal to be as sure as we possibly can be that your home/life situation is a good long-term match for the animal you would like to adopt. Our adoption fees are $75 for dogs in-state and $95 out-of-state, and $25 for cats. After we receive your application, it will be submitted to our Adoption Committee members. One member will call you for a telephone interview and such topics will be covered as: On a daily basis, how will you care for this animal and take care of its basic needs, such as exercise, veterinary care, etc.; What are the personalities of your current pets; How the children in your home may react to this new animal, and other things along these lines. Your two (2) personal references and vet reference will be contacted.
