> Here is a listing of dogs currently available at AARC (formerly Joplin Humane) in Joplin, MO. I have tried to number everyone; but the ID numers got mixed up. I would reahte rpost them now than try to renumber. The easiest way to ID and tag them for your rescue is to copy a link to the pic in an e-mail (mouse over the pic and you will see the options) to me. I AM BEGGING---if you can come to the shelter to pull dogs---we need you there tomorrow. Every kennel is jam packed and there is no room....this is CRITICAL. The pictures are not even everyone.... PLEASE... we need help here! We took in 793 animals in only 17 days. I can only descirbe this month as brutal. We will surely top 1400 animals in June. Please understand we are now being forced to euthanize animals for space....this is beyond unacceptable to me. I will try to get pictures of the dogs tomorrow that I did not get today. NOTE: Golden Paws (local boarding) is FULL and we need groups to pull directly from the shelter immediately! We have a couple dogs at Golden Paws that have been LEFT BEHIND by groups that have promised to take them---please- --we cannot let them keep waiting!

Information for Rescues (501c3)
*
You may contact me by e-mail Lysa Buehler <pitbullangels@ yahoo.com> for more information or to tag a dog for rescue. Please remember that I am the Manager of the shelter, so don't think I am ignoring you if I do not respond immediately. ..I check most e-mails at night from home. Rescue is my “2nd job”! Rescues may also contact me via cell phone at 417-439-5143.
*
We need available dogs pulled NOW. It is often possible to board a dog in Joplin at Golden Paws for $8/day until you can pick up. It is CRUCIAL that all rescue pay their boarding fees....if we are not able to continue this partnership. ...more dogs will die due to lack of space. Please don't ask to have your dogs moved and then not pay!
*
We are not able to transport; we work with a very small staff and few volunteers.
*
Dogs will be vaccinated (Distemper Combo, Bordatella) and dewormed with pyrantel. We ask for $10 reimbursement per dog to cover our costs. Because it is so difficult to track costs and fees post release with so many dogs, we ask that you pay this via credit card or PayPal as soon as you tag your available dog....we have to pay the bills every month! Costs for stray dogs may be paid when dog is off stray time. If costs are not covered...I can not continue up front services.... again...the dogs will suffer.
*
Health certs and rabies MAY be available-but this requires a trip to the vet as we do not have one on staff. It is preferred that rescues obtain this after picking up the dog. The cost if we get this done is $20. Heartworm testing is available for $10. We will treat with Frontline Plus if we see fleas/ticks, you can opt to have us treat all dogs you pull for $5.
*
Please understand that we take in between 1000-1300 (or more) animals per month. Getting special pictures and temperament testing may not be possible. Please consider all dogs and puppies potentially exposed to Kennel Cough and Parvo, and all cats to URI and take necessary precautions.
