Fostering & Rescue Waggin

Fostering Little Rock Animal Services is looking for a few good homes to help us save lives. Your home could provide temporary housing and care for dogs and puppies in our Rescue Waggin’ program. Animals in the program have been adopted by shelters up North, they just need a place to “crash” for a few days before being transported. Rescue Waggin’ animals are guaranteed a ride from your home to a shelter where they will be then be placed into a home. No need to worry that you’ll be tempted to take them in, because they are already adopted! Please, join our team and take a Waggin’ Rider into your home today!   If you would like to foster a dog at your home for approximately 2 weeks before they leave on the Rescue Waggin', please print and fill out the Foster Application Form and submit it in person at the Little Rock Animal Village. Thank you! Want to help but can’t foster? We need volunteers at LRAS for walking, bathing, socializing, customer service, donations, and more! Use the email below to request more information. animalservices@littlerock.org Rescue Waggin "Rescue Waggin" is a nation-wide program by PetSmart Charities and sponsored by Pedigree. The program is designed to transport dogs from over-crowded shelters to areas that have high demand for healthy, well adjusted animals. LRAV proudly participates in this program each and every month. LRAV dogs are selected to "ride the Waggin" through an evaluation process that ensures a mild disposition with people, food and other animals.  Selected animals must be friendly, social and display no forms of aggression. Arkansas state law requires any dog or cat released from a shelter in Pulaski County to be spayed or neutered before leaving. So, all Rescue Waggin animals are fully vetted and sterilized before the trip. The Rescue Wagon program has two trucks that come to Little Rock on a monthly basis. One trip carries as many as 50 dogs, but a normal LRAV load is 32-35. Animals leave LRAV and are transported to receiving shelters all over the middle and eastern US, including Michigan, Missouri, Tennessee, and more!
