Rescue Services

We are a group of friends that dedicate ourselves to saving dogs and cats, mostly dogs, that are found abandoned, starving, or in kill shelters or homeless street dogs or cats. We find pets we know are often abandoned in areas around Alberta, Canada, particularly the Morely Reserve, where calgarians often abandoned their pets, which end up breeding, leaving many puppies to starve, riddled with parasites, lonely and depressed, and freezing in the winter in far below zero. We rescue them because we care about their suffering. After rescue, spay and vaccinations, we post their photo and find them a good home with people wanting to adopt a pet. We help match a pet's personality, temperament, breed and size to the desires of an adoptee, and offer professional counseling for adopters needing additional help after adoption. We often help out other rescue organizations, and post photos of dogs they have at their shelter for adoption, and foster pets from their overcrowded shelter. We also help with more difficult dogs to adopt that are in a shelter, and place them in foster care to rehabilitate them so they are more easily ready for adoption.

In the past 11 years NAFA has been responsible for and assisted with the rescue of thousands of dogs and cats from puppy mills, catteries, class B dealers, backyard breeders, pet stores and individuals. NAFA has no shelter. All animals are kept in foster homes to help promote mental and physical health. Volunteers give their time, supplies and love, but receive no monetary compensation. All donations are used for the direct care of the animals. Programs include: ASH - Animal Safe Harbor for pets in domestic violence; RAID - Rescuing Animals in Distress for abuse investigation; PATS - Pet Assistance to Seniors in conjunction with Area Agency on Againg; NAFA ARK - Arkansans Reduce Killing - providing low cost spay/neuter; monthly Low Cost Vaccination Clinics; Paw Patrol - Youth Education Programs; AID - Animals in Disaster; Animeals - Animal Food Bank; Juvenile Detention Vistitation; Trap-Neuter-Relocate; Monthly Animal Events; Court Advocacy for Animals; Public and Professional Seminars for Animal related issues; free behavior assessment and training recommendations

E.B.R.P. Animal Control protects the public with all animal control services. Protects animals from abuse and neglect. Provides adoptions of animals.

My husband, Charles, and I founded this organization in September of 2006. Since then, we have grown and now have about 85 volunteers. We are an all volunteer, all foster based organization. We concentrate on pulling animals that are in danger of being euthanized at our local shelters. My husband and I were helping with a fundraiser for a natinal dog breed rescue and people kept asking about the animals in our area. So, we started ARC to help at a local level. We've adopted out more than 130 animals and continue to grow every year.

We are a group of volunteers dedicating our services for 17+ yrs. to a NO KILL rescue/shelter. We rescue and provide shelter/foster care and forever home adoptions for strays, owner turnovers, city impounds and abandoned animals. We do it because we all have a compassion for animals.

We are a small group of people bond by our love to help animals in any way possible. We do not just want to rescue and adopt animals. We feel that our biggest goal should be to educate our community and the general public on the importance of spay/neutering their animals and the importance of proper medical care of their pets. We also do a bed for shelter dogs program once a year and donate beds to get the shelter dogs off the concrete floors.

We are an all-volunteer, no kill rescue group, we do not have a physical shelter, all our dogs and cats live in foster homes until adopted. We rescue unwanted dogs and cats from DFW animal shelters and find them new forever homes. All animals are fully vetted prior to adoption (including spay/neuter) and we always take care of any treatable medical conditions.

Founded in 2007, ARK has rescued and rehomed over 6,500 dogs, cats, exotics, and birds.
