Provide a copy of your organization's mission statement which must
state that your organization's purpose is to rescue animals from animal shelters.

Your organization agrees to assume full financial responsibility
for the animal, including vet care, boarding (if necessary) and transportation.
(In some cases, we may have funds available which were donated to rescue animals.
When we do, we will gladly consider assisting you with some of the expenses). |

Provide the name of a local representative (in Pulaski County). |
We can arrange for
a suitable foster home at which the dog can stay from the time he is released from
the vet until he is transported to your location. (If you have a local foster, it will

General information about rescuing from LRAS
Unless the animal is already spayed or neutered, the animal must be sterilized by
LRAS or a local veterinarian. Regardless of whether your organization or
Last Chance Arkansas pulls the animal, all animals must be sterilized before being released.
If the animal is deemed too young or too sick by LRAS a waiver will be signed.
The waiver will include a date when the animal can be expected to be sterilized.
Proof of sterilization needs to be sent within five (5) businees days from that date.
Adoption fees are waived for rescue groups.
