Here are just a few of the ways you help animals by sponsoring or underwriting a page:

  • Low Income Spay/Neuter Assistance Program available to residents of Bowie, Miller, Cass, & Little River Counties.
  • Foster Care for cats, dogs and the occasional rabbit or ferret. All of the animals in our foster care program are fully vetted prior to adoption.
  • TAL purchases all vaccines for animals residing at the local city-run shelter, Animal Care & Adoption Center. Shelter pets deserve a healthy life!
  • Wildlife Rehabilitation: baby birds, raccoons, opossums, oh my! All of these and more have come through and been successfully released back into the wild.
  • Life Saver Program: our way of helping local rescues offset unexpected, but necessary veterinary expenses.
