Working in conjunction with various clinics, Last Chance AR travels statewide to urban and rural communities to provide comfort, safety, and love to animals in need.

Big Paws of the Ozarks
#600 in United States, #4 in Arkansas, #1 in Fayetteville
Fayetteville
We're a grass roots rescue in Northwest Arkansas on a mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for dogs in need. We work with local shelters and good samaritans to help displaced dogs find new beginnings through our foster based program And we aren't just your average dog rescue, either! We partner with shelters, local businesses, and community members to strengthen our animal welfare community as a whole through a variety of unique programming. Oh, and did we mention? We're also pros at training. We have some of the best dog-trainers around who can help dogs (and their owners) reach their highest potential. And all the proceeds benefit our rescue efforts!

Big Dog Rescue Project
#600 in United States, #4 in Arkansas, #1 in Fayetteville
Fayetteville
Big Dog Rescue Project, or BDRP, is a small close knit group of independent dog rescuers that came together to form an organization devoted to saving dogs from the multitudes of high kill shelters in the DFW area. We specialize in saving large breed types and re-homing in the North East where there is less overflow and a high volume of qualified adopters. We are all volunteers, each with our own strengths, and all devoted to the cause of improving the quality of life for those dogs discarded and forgotten. We are a 501c3 organization so all contributions are tax deductible .

A&B Animal Rescue of SW Arkansas
#600 in United States, #4 in Arkansas
A&B Animal Rescue of SW Arkansas is a facility base NO KILL rescue based in Ashdown, Ar., that takes in ALL breeds. Our primary focus is dogs. We are a group of animal loving volunteers that have opened up our hearts to the overwhelming dumped and abandoned dog population, in our area. The demand for a NO KILL facility in the region is paramount. Animals deserve the best life and unfortunately there are way too many that are abandoned, abused, suffering, and EUTHANIZED! This can be due to puppy mills, backyard breeders, and irresponsible owners. Our goal is to save these animals and put them into not just any home, but the RIGHT home because; THEIR LIVES MATTER! A&B Animal Rescue of SW Arkansas Inc's mission is to rescue, fully vet and re-home these worthy souls. We stress the benefits of Spay, Neutering and Microchipping Because animals are part of our environment, the relationship between people and animals is unique and special. Since humans have chosen to domesticate animals, we have a moral and legal responsibility to care for and protect them. Yet many have failed in this responsibility. Man has exploited and endangered these animals. Man has abandoned their companion animals, condemning them to suffering, starvation and disease. Man has allowed thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens to be born each day, thus perpetuating the cycle of neglect and abuse. To protect animals from this cruelty, our community needs A&B Animal Rescue of SW Arkansas. We seek to uplift the community by encouraging the humane treatment of animals, and to educate the community on the humane treatment of animals.

Little Rock
At the Humane Society of Garland County (HSGC), we cherish our animal companions for their unconditional affection and acceptance. We act out of a sense of social responsibility to nurture and find good homes for abandoned and abused animals, because, unfortunately, some pet owners mistreat their animals or leave them altogether.

CARE for Animals
#600 in United States, #4 in Arkansas, #3 in Little Rock
Little Rock
ARE FOR ANIMALS: RESCUE. REHOME. SPAY/NEUTER. Created in 1998, CARE has grown from an initial group of four volunteers into an organization with three employees and hundreds of volunteers who devote thousands of hours to its rescue/adoption and spay/neuter efforts and to recruit the necessary financial support. CARE is a 501(c)(3) Arkansas nonprofit corporation and a charitable organization fully funded by donations. All donations are tax-deductible. CARE's headquarters/gift shop is located at 5516 Kavanaugh Boulevard, Little Rock (in the Heights Business District). CARE does not have a physical animal shelter and operates out of our office in Little Rock's Heights neighborhood. We use this website as a virtual shelter, where you can view the available pets for adoption and submit your online Adoption Application. To date, CARE's rescue/adoption effort has saved over 4,700 animals---once homeless or unwanted, these pets have now been placed into loving homes. Also, because we have no shelter, CARE relies upon volunteers to "foster" adoptable pets until permanent homes are found. In December 2011, CARE found a way to expand its rescue/adoption effort by partnering with the Arkansas Department of Correction's Arkansas Paws in Prison program, which places adoptable CARE dogs temporarily into state prisons for housing, socialization, and training by professionally-supervised inmate trainers--- this remarkable program is a win-win for CARE, the Department, the dogs, and the inmates! Bottom-line: the number of adoptable pets that CARE can accept into its rescue/adoption program at any time is determined by the number of available spaces for them---either in volunteer foster homes or Paws in Prison. Our spay/neuter effort has helped nearly 14,000 pets! CARE's vouchers are available for use in obtaining discounted spay/neuter services at designated veterinary clinics across the state. CARE relies heavily upon volunteer assistance to operate. Volunteer support is essential to accomplishing CARE's mission. Many different volunteer jobs are available including fostering, case working, showing, transporting adoptable animals, staffing the CARE gift shop, assisting with office work, and planning/working each fundraising event.

Southern Hearts Rescue
#600 in United States, #4 in Arkansas
Southern Hearts Rescue is a small but mighty rescue that began with a girl and her dream. In 2018, Whitney, the founder and lifelong crusader for animals, saw a need for a rescue in a rural part of Central Arkansas that did not have an animal shelter but plenty if vulnerable animals. Through sheer determination, a little luck and a lot of hard work, she had a building added onto her property that would be the future home of the rescue. Today, the rescue is capable of housing lots of animals in need of rescue. Everyday we receive 100s of cries for help and are only able to help the ones we do through donations from people like you! We are not a rescue that makes passive income sitting back raking in donations! At ANY hour of the day or night we are ready to be the ones that face the danger, the weather, the heartache and the frustration; whether there is money in the account or not, frequently we absorb the cost up front. We do what we do for them and are grateful for your help!

Friends of the animal village
#600 in United States, #4 in Arkansas, #3 in Little Rock
Little Rock
Friends of the Animal Village (FAV), is a nonprofit organization in Little Rock, Arkansas. We provide supplemental support to our city's shelter, the Little Rock Animal Village.

Humane society of Faulkner County
#600 in United States, #4 in Arkansas, #3 in Little Rock
Little Rock
The Humane Society of Faulkner County (HSFC) is an all-volunteer, 501c3 nonprofit animal advocacy and rescue organization. We are funded exclusively by local donations, fundraisers, and grants. HSFC's primary purpose is to supply the staff with volunteers and additional funds to help offer low cost spay/neuter surgeries to the public. Our mission is to help pet owners and their animals through spay/neuter assistance programs, affordable vaccination clinics, pet food donations, and financial aid for sick and injured animals.

How to Deal With Food Aggression in Dogs (Facts + Infographic)
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
Comprehensive Guide to Scent Training for Dogs (Facts + Infographic)
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
How Much Does it Cost to Train a Service Dog?
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
What is and How to Handle Potty Training Regression
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Coprophagia: Why Does Your Dog Eat Poop?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!

Dog Exercise Calculator: How Much Exercise Does Your Dog Need?
You’ve been told your dog needs regular exercise. There’s a reason “walking the dog” is a classic daily activity: Frequent excursions give your pup a chance to experience the world, maintain a healthy weight, and — most importantly — spend time with you!

Rottweiler Aggression: Signs, Causes, and How to Handle It

Dog Reactivity Chart: Understand and Fix Dog Reactivity
Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (like a car or bike) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling feels embarrassing for you — and it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
How to Socialize Your Reactive Dog
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
