The majority of these animals were healthy, loving and very adoptable. Don’t blame the shelters, they are the ones faced with the overwhelming responsibility of dealing with the animals the public is throwing away. <br /><br /><strong>What is being done…</strong>Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue (NWAAR) currently offers low cost spay and neuter coupons and monthly low cost spay and neuter clinics in Northwest Arkansas. Together with our volunteers and caring local veterinarians we have altered over 2,000 animals… effectively saving literally hundreds of thousands of animals from a probable euthanasia ending. However, this is not enough, as unfortunately, our area shelters are regularly above capacity.<br /><br /><strong>You can make a difference!</strong><br />We need your help. Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue is on the forefront of a region wide spay and neuter program. We are currently raising funds to purchase, maintain and operate a mobile spay and neuter unit that will allow us to bring the low cost surgeries to a greater population of Benton and Washington counties as well as other surrounding areas. Our goal is to eventually operate the mobile clinic full time… resulting in a reduction of thousands of animals and ultimately ending the need of unnecessary euthanasia for our companion animals. The only thing standing in our way is the initial cost of the unit and supplies with the mobile unit itself costing around $120,000.<br /><br />Your contribution will make a difference in helping end the cycle of animal neglect and abuse. All donations are tax deductible as NWAAR is a registered 501(c) 3 organization dedicated to the cause of helping to raise awareness and save lives.<br /><br />I looked at the caged animals in the shelter… the cast offs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal. And I was angry, “God,” I said “this is terrible! Why don’t you do something?” God was silent for a moment then He spoke softly. “I have done something,” He replied, “I created you.”<br />Jim Willis<br /><br />Please send your generous, tax deductible donation to:<br />NWAAR<br />PO Box 7532<br />Springdale, AR 72766<br />479 439-7978<br /><br />Your money and/or your time will bring about a day when the animals of NWA are no longer abandoned, homeless or dying. <br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Mandy Keenen<br />Founder and PresidentPamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599325064172671634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243355285138043499.post-68365025263786075942010-06-06T09:44:00.000-07:002010-06-06T09:45:18.489-07:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; ">NWA Animal Rescue and Bigwag Dog Bakery are sponsoring a low cost vaccination and microchip clinic on Saturday June 12th from 10 am to 2 pm at Bigwag Dog Bakery</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; "><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; ">2301 W.

Please contact her at elainetayrien@gmail.com if you are interested in any of these opportunities. No matter how much or how little you do, it means a lot especially to our animals!<br /><br /><strong>PetCo cage cleaners</strong>! I need people to help clean cages at PetCo during the week. I need Wednesday, Thursday & Friday covered and a few folks willing to be called in a pinch if someone can't show. This commitment is only about an hour or so a day in the mornings before 11:00 a.m. Cleaning cages, feeding & watering cats and giving them a little TLC. Training is involved and the knowledge that you are making those cats lives a little better until they find their forever home!<br /><strong>Spay & Neuter Clinics</strong>! We also will be needing some folks that are interested in working at spay & neuter clinics. We host a monthly low cost spay & neuter clinic and are wanting to consider doing a Mass Spay Day this spring or early summer. I need to find people who are willing to learn what needs to be done and maybe even run part of the event! So please let me know if you are interested in helping at spay neuter clinics so we can start to get you trained for when we have our mobile spay & neuter unit or other bigger events! This is great experience for those interested in getting into the veterinary field!<br /><strong>Foster Homes</strong>! We are in need of some folks who are willing to foster some cats. These are cats that are already in our system. Some are special needs cats and need long term foster homes. The special needs cats have issues that range from old age, to poor eyesight or hearing to illness such as FIV or Feline Leukemia. These animals are traditionally very hard to adopt and will need long term foster homes until a forever home is found that is willing to take on these issues. We only have a handful of these cats but they are in desperate need of a better environment to help them either become or stay healthy and live out their lives. Vet expenses are covered by NWAAR through our participating vets, food and other basic care items will need to be covered by the foster home. Your home will need to be subject to approval for fostering. We do have a few dogs that are also already in our system that need fostered also. You must have a fenced in back yard for dogs and be willing to socialize them until they are either adopted or accepted into the transport program. <br /><strong>Youth Group</strong>! I am interested in starting a Youth group this summer. This group would only meet over the spring & summer months. The purpose of this group would be to attend activities and events and help out where needed and create simple and fun fundraisers that help create an "Angel Fund" to help provide care for feral animals that come through our system that require spaying & neutering, rabies shots and other health issues that affect this community of often neglected animals and to reduce their overpopulation. Please contact me if you are interested in participating or running this program - spring is right around the corner and we need to get started! We already have a handful of youths who help out at Adoption Drives & Clinics and I would love to be able to have this done in a much more organized manner so the kids can have more of a voice in our organization and show their ideas and energy in the community!<br /><strong>Fund-raising</strong>! We have several events and fundraisers that we need support from a group of persons who like to contact groups, vendors and others in our area for donations. These donations can be "in kind" or donations of services or items that can be used to help raise funds or financial donations that can be used towards the events that help raise funds or medical care of animals or the Mobile Spay & Neuter Unit we would like to someday have. We are currently trying to raise these types of funds for our Annual Poker Tournament on April 17th and have several events planned over the spring and summer that will need varied amounts and types of funding.<br /><strong>Events</strong>! We have many events planned over the summer that we will need people to attend. If you like interacting with the community and are willing to help show what our organization is all about then this is the volunteer opportunity for you!. Most events are weekends and we set them up in shifts so you can enjoy the event also! Depending on your shift, you will need to be willing to collect our event box, and set up items, set up the booth, take it down at the end of the event and return it when you are done! We also try to do some sort of fund-raising at each event. <br />Our first finalized event of this year is the Annual Poker Tournament on April 17th. This is a fun event that you can also participate in! We need help actually running the event and most of all recruiting and collecting prizes for the players. If you want to play in the game - you can! Just purchase a ticket! The success of the event is really dependent on the prizes we get - last years grand prize was a 32 inch Big Screen TV! We had electronics, trips and many other great prizes! Soooo - if you are that person who likes to make contacts with in the community and ask for great prizes - just let me know and we will get you started!Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599325064172671634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243355285138043499.post-27013356135834591772010-02-05T09:15:00.000-08:002010-02-05T09:38:25.093-08:00Robbie Ballard of Scentsy donates to NWAARDo you love wonderful Scentsy candles and other product?

The license plate will cost a little more that a plain license plate. The additional funds will go to a fund helping low income families spay or neuter their pets.<br /><br />We have approval from the state for our program but, they need to confirm interest before they start producing the special plate. The state is requiring us to have 300 signatures from licensed drivers. We are already half way there.<br /><br />Want to help? All we need is your signature and a little information about your vehicle to prove you are a licensed driver. By signing our petition all you are doing is saying you believe in our spay/neuter program and intend to purchase a plate. If your circumstances are such that you are not able to purchase the plate when the time comes, you will be able to get out of purchasing it.<br /><br />Want to sign? Just drop by the Rogers, Arkansas Petco. A clip board with our petition is available there for you to sign. Just go to the area with the live cats/kittens. The petition will be there for you to sign.<br /><br />Please call 479-439-7978 for more information.Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599325064172671634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243355285138043499.post-43058111541782520132009-11-20T09:39:00.000-08:002009-11-20T09:50:14.645-08:00Adoption eventsNorthwest Arkansas Animal Rescue will be showcasing some of their adoptable cats and kittens at Petco in Rogers this weekend, Nov. 21st and 22nd.

Fancy is a remarkable mother having raised seven orphaned, abandonded kittens in addition to her own! All but one of her babies have found homes and it is time for Fancy to find a loving home, too. Fancy still has a limp from her broken leg which healed poorly but, is not in pain. She gets around well but, Fancy needs to go to a indoor home and her adoptive parent/parents will need a vet reference.

We think she has had over four litters. She finally came to one of our foster homes to be a companion. She was so intimidated it took us two days before Lady would trust us. She would run and hide when someone came to the door eventually finding her safe spot under her new Mommy's chair. Lady is finally realizing she is safe and at home for the first time. Lady has become a part of the family and has learned to be spoiled. She stays close to her new Mommy but, likes to play outside with her new brothers and sister. Lady knows she will no longer have to live in a cage and have litter after litter of puppies.<br /><div></div>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599325064172671634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243355285138043499.post-22213273546245099972009-10-12T14:10:00.000-07:002009-10-12T14:41:23.187-07:00Chamomile-Natural cure for an upset dog or catI have found over the years my body is very sensitive to medical therapies. After a while, I decided to check out herbal medicine as a way of finding more gentile cures. When these cures turned out to be just what I needed, I was led to trying to find herbal treatments for my animals. Over the years, I learned several treatments but, the most useful is chamomile. <br /><br />Chamomile is used in humans to help with stress related illnesses like nervousness and anxiety, non-infectious inflammation, itchiness and as an antiseptic. Chamomile also holds antibiotic properties. It can also be used internally for gastrointestinal upset such as pain, bloating and gas; as well as externally as a topical substance to relieve skin irritation.<br />When relocating having to travel 16 hours with two cats, I decided to try using chamomile to calm my two boys for the journey. I simply made a cup of chamomile tea available at just about any grocery store. Mixing half the tea with water, I fed it to my boys several days before leaving for our journey. They were easier to get into their traveling crate and were calm for the whole journey. I continued to use chamomile to calm my babies whenever I knew they would be stressed. Chamomile is just as effective for dogs and is especially useful for treating skin irritations.<br /><br />Chamomile also has a natural anticoagulant (blood thinning) property and should not be used on those undergoing surgery or recovering from surgery for a few weeks before and a few weeks following. Pregnant animals should not be treated with chamomile for similar reasons. Please check out this useful information before using chamomile. http://www.petcarenaturally.com/handouts/cha012momile.pdfPamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599325064172671634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243355285138043499.post-79880508436016779222009-10-06T08:47:00.000-07:002009-10-06T08:52:56.287-07:00Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue Pizza Night<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBrIB6ECl29S0I3sX04bRcVbIPR0MohA7XAfg86pOhyphenhyphenZEWYoq-eRpQSAayCy31EEuwXk6_U-TwPGp8aBRzc-B2_P-pbKdhyphenhyphenG0WkzBNsnlna0OWlRDBQtG9CeNHqTeCxveTkiackhaUx7ld/s1600-h/colored++Pizza+Hut+vouchers+for+web+sites.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389515122681349538" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 245px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBrIB6ECl29S0I3sX04bRcVbIPR0MohA7XAfg86pOhyphenhyphenZEWYoq-eRpQSAayCy31EEuwXk6_U-TwPGp8aBRzc-B2_P-pbKdhyphenhyphenG0WkzBNsnlna0OWlRDBQtG9CeNHqTeCxveTkiackhaUx7ld/s320/colored++Pizza+Hut+vouchers+for+web+sites.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hey everyone!

One of our members had been driving by and noticed Ricky sitting on the sidewalk looking confused and lost. When she called to him he came running to her meowing! After she looked for his siblings but found none, she put him in her car and whisked him away to a local vet for care.<br />He was emaciated, covered with fleas and his feet were red, swollen and bare of fur. The vet was not sure that Ricky would make it. His feet were diagnosed with ringworm and he only weighed one pound; he should have been between 2 and 3 pounds. The vet treated him for the fleas and worms, and tested him for Feline Leukemia (he was negative). The vet techs gave him some food & water but he could not keep the food down. The volunteer was told to feed him special food in small amounts every few hours. Luckily for Ricky with this constant care over the next few days and his desire to live he made it.<br />After the vet was sure Little Ricky was well enough to go to a foster home for the rest of his care, the volunteer who found Ricky took him into her home where she fosters cats and kittens. Ricky had to be separated from the other cats because of the ringworm and special diet.<br />Because of Ricky’s tenacious attitude and some specialized TLC, Ricky survived his rough start to life. Ricky’s is now between 3 to 4 pounds but, will be slightly stunted when he reaches full maturity. Little Ricky LOVES to eat and has been given a clean bill of health!<br />Ricky is now about 3-4 months old, loves to play and snuggle – he even like kisses! He has been neutered, micro chipped and given his first shots and wanting a family of his own that will continue to provide a safe and loving environment. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599325064172671634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243355285138043499.post-84837293317964315952009-09-30T20:19:00.000-07:002009-09-30T20:49:15.069-07:00RockyLittle Rocky was brought into my care when he was very small. He was barely old enough to eat but, you could tell he had been hungry. He was found at a local dump hungry and alone. He had been brought to an adoption event not having been placed in a foster home yet. We hoped a mother kitty we had would accept him with her babies. The mother kitty didn't want anything to do with him. She bopped him on the head and her kittens played roughly with him. <br /><br />Scared we removed him and he was placed in my arms. We were still at the adoption event but, luckily unlike most adoption days, we had a number of people helping. I spent most of that adoption day cuddling little Rocky. We were given some left over pizza and I started feeding Rocky some. He ate the toppings off of two pieces. I could tell he liked to eat.<br /><br />Rocky went home with me that day. Even though he was smaller than my other foster kittens, he held his own making everyone move when he wanted to eat and jumping right in the middle of things when he wanted to play. Rocky has moved from our house to Petco in Rogers with the hope he could find a home. <br /><br />I dropped by to see him today. He is the same old Rocky. Full of energy and ready for anything. Just a little bigger. I picked him up out of his cage with the other kitten we had sent to Petco to find a home Booker. We thought they would be less lonely if we sent them together. They are both black with gold eyes but, Rocky is smaller with a small white spot on his throat and one you can't see on him tummy. <br /><br />I held him for a long time and played with him for a while. After giving the other kittens some attention, too. I opened Booker and Rocky's cage once more to pet them goodby. I left with the great hope they both would find people who would love them and give them a good home.Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17599325064172671634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1243355285138043499.post-65109132101798979842009-09-26T10:51:00.000-07:002009-09-26T11:05:41.088-07:00Foster homes needed!Northwest Arkansas Animal Rescue is in need of foster homes. All that is required is for the foster home to provide a loving environment for our animals in transition. Supplies can be provided by NWAAR.<br /><br />Homes are needed for cats, kittens, dogs and puppies. Foster care can vary from a few days to longer. One of our foster Moms said this recently. "It is such a joy to see an animal you have loved and cared for go to good home and to know it will be loved and cherished like all animals should be."<br /><br />If you are interested in becoming a foster home for one of our pets, please call Northwest Animal Rescue at 439-7978.
