NovaStar Rescue
Thousands of homeless dogs have found homes and families through NovaStar Rescue. Our own Zeus is one of them. Many of these dogs were pulled back from the brink of death and their lives saved. NovaStar Rescue is a 501(c)3 non profit organization, which has served Ola and the surrounding area for many years.
Their Mission Statement:
NovaStar Rescue is a small, predominantly foster-based, rescue in Ola, Arkansas. We are not breed specific but our main focus has always been to save, educate, and advocate for the pitties. Whether our dogs are rescued from the streets, saved from a shelter, or their owners have surrendered them we firmly believe that every dog deserves a chance to have a good home where they can be a loved and cherished member of the family.
Now, the small town of Ola, AR, where NovaStar is located, has decided to shut down the Rescue. They are choosing to start enforcing an old law, which limits the number of dogs per household to 4 adult dogs. This law has never been enforced before. Yet they decided to start with a non profit rescue. Even though Ola, AR has NO animal shelter, NO animal control personnel and has, in the past, not only brought stray dogs to NovaStar, but has also called NovaStar to come and pick up dogs in need. The city council has, without discussion or warning, given NovaStar 30 days to get into compliance with the 4 dog rule. They have offered no options for exemption, and no options for the strays wandering the streets of Ola.
If it were easy, anyone could do it. Adult dogs are harder to place than the cute little puppies (which will grow up to be adult dogs in no time).
If it were easy, all these adult dogs would already be in loving homes. There are currently 34 adult dogs that will need to be moved within the next 30 days.
There are also approximately 29 puppies. NovaStar needs fosters, adopters and rescues.
I'm asking you to join me in raising funds to help NovaStar relocate the entire rescue operation outside of the town of Ola. If you can donate, Please do it. If not, please share. These dogs need your help.
