UPDATE: A&B Animal Rescue of SW Arkansas is PERMANENTLY CLOSED. 65 animals resided here as of Nov 11/25 when the director/primary caregiver decided to resign and essentially absolved herself of responsibility. She had cared for some of these animals for over 10 years and 46 of the 65 were in her care for 5 years or longer. Over the next three months two very dedicated volunteers advocated relentlessly for them, and against great odds, succeeded in finding placement for them all. Several went to various rescues earlier on and the final 51 animals that remained as of Feb 7/26 were saved by ANIMAL RESCUE CORPS in a phenomenal mission called Operation Broken Ties (see info at
animalrescuecorps.org). If you ever supported A&B Animal Rescue we, the volunteers, request that you donate to ANIMAL RESCUE CORPS on A&Bs behalf as it was a very costly endeavor to remove the animals left behind -- estimated $40-50k -- and ARC could use your help. Thanks to this incredible organization, who have become OUR HEROES, those 51 animals will get everything they need and have been promised the homes & families they've waited too long for!

A&B Animal Rescue is a facility base NO KILL rescue based in Ashdown, Ar., that takes in ALL breeds. Our primary focus is dogs. We are a group of animal loving volunteers that have opened up our hearts to the overwhelming dumped and abandoned dog population, in our area. The demand for a NO KILL facility in the region is paramount. Animals deserve the best life and unfortunately there are way too many that are abandoned, abused, suffering, and EUTHANIZED! This can be due to puppy mills, backyard breeders, and irresponsible owners. Our goal is to save these animals and put them into not just any home, but the RIGHT home because; THEIR LIVES MATTER!
A&B Animal Rescue of SW Arkansas Inc’s mission is to rescue, fully vet and re-home these worthy souls. We stress the benefits of Spay, Neutering and Microchipping
✱ Because animals are part of our environment, the relationship between people and animals is unique and special.
✱ Since humans have chosen to domesticate animals, we have a moral and legal responsibility to care for and protect them.
✱ Yet many have failed in this responsibility. Man has exploited and endangered these animals.
✱ Man has abandoned their companion animals, condemning them to suffering, starvation and disease.
✱ Man has allowed thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens to be born each day, thus perpetuating the cycle of neglect and abuse.
✱ To protect animals from this cruelty, our community needs A&B Animal Rescue of SW Arkansas.
✱ We seek to uplift the community by encouraging the humane treatment of animals, and to educate the community on the humane treatment of animals.
