Paws of Love Animal Rescue AR We are a small foster based rescue located in the Fort Smith Arkansas area. We do not have a physical shelter location.

Our mission is to rescue homeless pets, assist pet owners in need to keep their pets home and to educate pet owners on the necessity of spaying and neutering to help curb the pet overpopulation crisis. All of our rescues go into foster homes where they are loved and learn what a home life is all about. We believe this helps give them the best chance at finding their forever home! To see all of our adoptable dogs check out our Petfinder Page! https://www.petfinder.com/member/us/ar/fort-smith/paws-of-love-animal-rescue-ar-ar436/

🐾 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED! 🐾

This handsome boy showed up on someone’s porch in Van Buren over the weekend. He has been scanned for a microchip, but unfortunately, none was found. We are estimating that he is about 4 to 5 months old.

❤️ He urgently needs a foster home! The kind family who found him is unable to keep him, and we need to find him a safe place to land as soon as possible.

We don’t have much information about him just yet, but we will provide his vaccinations and testing.

🏡 Can you open your heart and home to this sweet boy? Even temporary foster care could make all the difference in the world for him!

If you can help, please fill out a foster application. 🙏

Please share to help us find this boy a safe place to land! Every share brings us one step closer to finding his foster. 🐶💕

‼️ Located in Subiaco, AR but can be transported. We have lovely fosters in NWA as well as in the River Vally and eastern OK.

We just received this message:

“We are in Subiaco, AR.
The vet said he is around 1 year old. I truly know very little about him. He is intelligent, very sweet, gets along with our dogs well, and is always looking to please us.

He does not need a home with any fowl around. He likely would need a backyard to run around in with all of his energy as a young hound. He has some food aggression that we can easily manage. He was fairly thin when he showed up to our place.

We are having him euthanized on the 26th if he hasn’t found another home.”

This was one of the worst weeks we’ve had in a while for these kind of messages. We truly want to help. We spend hours trying to find fosters, adopters, money, volunteer drivers and time to do what we can to help our community. By we, I mean, there are two of us actively involved and we both work full-time. We have three wonderful fosters, and both of us are currently taking care of fosters of our own.

When we are given a deadline so short to find a foster for a dog who is seventh in the line of our requests for help just this week, it’s hard not to feel despair. There’s only so much we can do on our own.

Enough about us! This young male is in desperate need of someone to take him in immediately. They originally offered to get him vaccinated on Monday and to pay for his neuter, but now say they have canceled all that. In their defense, he’s a threat to their livestock. They rely on their livestock for their livelihood. Now we need to rely on our community for his life.

He has not been around children since he was found. He rides well in the car and has excellent leash manners. He is currently around several livestock guardian dogs, and has occasionally tried to show dominance. He has been easily corrected by the other dogs. These behaviors will most likely get better with neutering. We are told that he is very sweet and loving.

There are way too many people in this community for us to believe that there is no one who will help. We can provide a crate, collar, leash, vet care, food, toys and anything else that he needs until he finds a home. Can you please provide a yard and a safe warm place for him in your home to sleep? He doesn’t even have a name. He would love for you to provide that, too. 🙏 ❤️

UPDATE: We have had an abundance of requests for him. Thank you all. The friend of the family will be contacting each of you until she finds the perfect home for him. We will update the post again when he has found his new family.

HUMPHREY needs a new home. Currently located in Van Buren, AR.

His Mom passed away in September. He was rehomed and return only because the people didn't like dog hair...🤔

He is 4 years old, not neutered.
Good with kids, cats and other dogs. He is House broke.

We do not have him in the rescue. If you are interested in giving him a FOREVER home we can put you in contact with the owner. Or if you can foster send us a message. Without a foster home to place him in we can't take him in.

As a foster we provide
Food, medical and all vetting he would need to be adopted. You would need to be able to transport him to his vet appointments when scheduled.

🐾 Meet Annabelle! 🐾

Annabelle is brand new to our rescue, so today we’re simply introducing her! We’ll share more information about this sweet girl over the next week as we get to know her better. 💕

She made her first trip to the vet yesterday, and we’ve included a copy of her bill for transparency. Her initial vet visit cost Kitties and Kanines $103. we appreciate any donation you can make to help keep our vet bill covered.

We know Annabelle is going to receive lots of applications, and we’re ready to start accepting them! However, we want to be thoughtful and make the best possible decision for Annabelle. We’ll need a few days to get to know her personality, needs, and what kind of home will help her thrive before making our final decision.

Thank you for your patience, support, and excitement for this sweet new rescue! Stay tuned as we learn more about Annabelle and help her find the perfect forever home. 🐱❤️

This is so true.
10/10/2026

This is so true.

We all struggle from time to time, work too much, gone from home more than we would like... we worry about the life we provide for our pets. But, without question if you asked your dog or your cat, which THEY would prefer, your busy schedule or absences or being WITHOUT you, they would all tell you, they KNOW you are doing your best, and while they miss you, your home is where they want to be.
So, whenever you feel guilty about not giving your dog the best life, whenever you feel like you are working too late while your dog is hanging out on the couch at home, whenever you think about surrendering your dog because you “can’t give them the life they deserve”, look at this picture shared by a municipal shelter manager getting dogs ready for dinner time. You can see one dog with his paw out, anxiously waiting for his food. For these dogs locked in their kennels, this could be the highlight of their day. We know sometimes things are tough, but we promise you your pets would choose you and will tell you they are ok and you are doing just fine…. we are family.

Magara is still looking for someone to take her in before her foster family has to move she did test positive for heartworms back in may and will need to be retested at the end of October to see if she’s clear and ready for adoption (these things are covered and paid for by us not the foster) we would just need someone who is able to take her to get retested when the time comes she sits very well for the vet.

Want to open your heart to the sweetest pup on the planet? Magara is your girl, she gets along best with male dogs and older children because she’s still learning that she isn’t a baby anymore and her jumps pack a punch 😂 she loves to go on walks and just spend time with her family she’s a big couch potato and will climb up in your lap like she’s a chihuahua, she loves to swim and play chase with her current foster brother. She also knows how to sit pretty to get treats. All around a very good girl she’s also house and crate trained so even if you have work she will nap in her kennel till you get back she just wants someone to spend time with she wasn’t given a very good start to life and deserves the world

She does not do well with cats unfortunately I don’t think she would ever actually hurt a cat but she likes to chase them and can get carried away at times

If you want to bring this absolute sweetheart into your home you can apply using the link below or sending us a message! 🩷

🚨 FOUND MALE DOG — OWNER OR FOSTER NEEDED ASAP 🚨

He’s currently located in Barling, Arkansas, but we are happy to transport as necessary to get him to safety.

This beautiful male dog was found near I-540 Exit 3 toward Van Buren/Barling. A passerby saw him running in and out of traffic and stopped to get him to safety. They took him home, but unfortunately, the finder cannot keep him.

We are desperately hoping to locate his owner. If you recognize this dog or know who he belongs to, please contact us as soon as possible.

If his owner cannot be located, we are also urgently looking for a foster home. The finder says he gets along well with their dog, and they believe he is approximately 2 years old.

❤️ OWNER? FOSTER? PLEASE REACH OUT!

He was in a very dangerous situation, and we want to make sure he stays safe. Please share this post to help us find his family or a safe foster placement. 🐾🙏

🚨 FOUND DOG — OWNER OR FOSTER NEEDED ASAP 🚨

Located in Kibler, but we are happy to transport as necessary to get him safe

This sweet male dog showed up at someone’s home and refuses to leave. He is currently in an area outside city limits where there is no animal control, and unfortunately, he is staying near a busy road where he is not safe.

We would love nothing more than to find his owner and get him safely home. He has already been taken to a veterinarian and is estimated to be approximately 1½–2 years old. He is neutered.

If no owner can be located, we urgently need a safe foster placement for him.

❤️ If you recognize this dog, know his owner, or can provide a foster home, please contact us as soon as possible.

Please share this post — even one share could help get him home or into a safe foster before something happens to him. 🙏🐾

If you have any questions about fostering, please contact us. We will provide you with all that you need including medical care. We would only ask that you’d be available to bring him to the vet for his vaccinations and health testing.
