Pets in need of temporary housing...
CALL
804-2273 or 603-2273 IF YOU CAN TEMPORARILY HOUSE ONE OF THESE ABANDONED
ANIMALS.
The animals pictured on this page are homeless, and in immediate need of a foster or permanent home. Who are they? These are animals that have been identified by CARE as adoptable pets. Where are they? These animals are currently housed at the animal shelter of one of central Arkansas’s municipal or county animal-services departments OR have been otherwise abandoned OR are living in some other situation where the animal cannot or should not remain.
If CARE can locate a volunteer foster home for these animals, then CARE plans to take them into its rescue program and proceed to search for a permanent (“adoptive”) home for each of them. The first step in that process is to place the animal in a foster home.
CARE has no kennel or boarding facility of its own, but relies upon volunteers to provide temporary (“foster”) homes for the animals that are in its rescue program. For this reason, without volunteer foster homes, CARE's rescue program could NOT operate.
With respect to animals in the municipal or county animal-services shelters, each animal is assigned an “available date” that is based upon the date when the animal is admitted into the shelter. The “available date” is the date when the animal becomes available either to be adopted from the shelter or to be euthanized there. Each of these shelters is required to accept all animals within its jurisdiction that are surrendered to the shelter or are collected by the shelter in the course of its duties. Thus, unless an animal in the shelter is timely rescued by its owner or adopted directly from the shelter, the animal must be euthanized at some point after its ”available date” in order to make room in that shelter for more animals.
If you can open your heart and your home to save one of these lives, please contact CARE at telephone: 501-603-2273 or telephone: 501-804-2273 or email us at care@careforanimals.org.

Samantha is a 6 year old terrier mix. She gets along well with other dogs and doesn't mind cats. Samantha loves her humans, is loyal, knows some basic commands, and minds well. She is smart, loves to play, and is sweet natured. Samantha was raised with a child so she would be perfect in a family environment. Samantha is spayed and will be vaccinated and microchipped.

Oreo III, 10-078
Oreo is a young dog who was abandoned, apparently, but has been tended by neighbors in the area. He is full of love and energy and really needs a playmate and companion because he is very lonely. Oreo will be vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. [07-16-10]

The purpose of foster care is to allow a dog or cat to live in a home environment while awaiting permanent placement, permitting the Foster Family to evaluate the pet and to work with the pet to reincorporate him or her back into a home environment. A home environment is less stressful on the pet than a boarding facility or shelter. The exposure the pet gets from being treated as "one of the family" (walks, outings, etc...) often speeds up the adoption process.
