Tater's Ark

WONDER

Wonder was in a high kill animal control facility. He had little chance of being adopted because he has a severe visual impairment. Tater's Ark rescued Wonder from almost certain euthanasia.

Wonder is partially blind in both eyes. The vet tells us this could be congenital or it could be the result of a reaction to his early puppy vaccinations. Wonder will be evaluated by a veterinary opthamologist to determine if his sight can be restored through surgery.

UPDATE:  Wonder was evaluated by Dr. Miller of Advanced Animal Eye Care in Memphis. He suffers from Endothelial Cell Dystrophy. WONDER IS HAVING SURGERY TO FULLY RESTORE SIGHT IN BOTH HIS EYES

MAY 20 TH!  Lydia Grier of Po' Folks Rescue in Faulkner County Arkansas, a former military veterinarian, will care for him during his convalescence. If you would like to help with the cost of Wonder's surgery and recovery, click on the Donate button below to make a secure contribution. As always, your donation is tax deductible and greatly appreciated!  

A very special dog trainer, Todd McCutcheon, has volunteered to help train Wonder after his surgery. When Wonder finds his forever family, Todd will work with them and Wonder together on proper lash manners, sit, stay and other basic obedience. If you need help training your dog, you can call Todd at (501) 413-8666.

OSCAR - From deathrow to happy home!

It was Oscar's last day. In fact he was scheduled to die at 8 am, but the animal control officers waited until Tater's Ark volunteers made their afternoon visit, hoping maybe they had found a home for Oscar.

Lauren, a Tater's Ark volunteer, opened her heart and home to Oscar. She was a wonderful foster Mom, teaching him to walk on a leash, and taking care of him until he was ready for a forever home.

Oscar went to Petsmart to meet possible adopters one Sunday. While walking down an aisle, he found a man and woman with two children. The little boy was a little shy of dogs, but that was ok because Oscar was a little shy, too.  Soon Oscar and the boy decided they did not need to be afraid of each other. And, as they say, "the rest is history!" Oscar went home with his new forever family where they are all living happily everafter.

POTTER - Hairy Potter's Magic Makeover!

The little Cocker Spaniel was due to be euthanized. He looked so bad he had no chance of being adopted. We weren't even sure what the enormous masses hanging off him in several places were!

They might have been cysts or tumors. We hoped they were just the worst mats we had ever seen on a dog. We decided to take a chance. We accepted him into Tater's Ark's "Homing the Homeless" program. First he got a trip to the vet, then the groomer. After the groomer removed 6 POUNDS of mats from this little guy, he got a second vet check, an all clear, and a name...  Potter (aka Hairy Potter). And look at him now.....

Potter has a new forever family of his own!

AVAILABLE: 

GIZMO 

Gizmo's heart was broken. He had a family with children he loved. And he did not understand why they moved away and left him in a lonely pen at an animal control shelter. He looked out the door of his pen all day, everyday, waiting for them to come for him.

One day a Tater's Ark rescuer came for Gizmo. The vet said Gizmo was very ill with an extreme case of heartworms. It would take months to cure him. Tater's Ark is providing the medical treatment Gizmo needs. A very kind lady has provided sponsorship to help pay for Gizmo's medical expenses. By spring he will be well and ready for a family again! 

If you think you would like to give Gizmo a forever home, call Linda at 501-256-2841.
