DSRA has a proud history of fund-raising for charitable organizations within our community. All members are volunteers who share our time and abilities to further this cause.

PUPPY UP LITTLE ROCK

Feline Rescue and Rehome (FuRR) Saving Lives One Cat at a Time

Puppy Up Little Rock promotes awareness and education of canine cancer. Daring to dream of a world where cancer is not one of the top killers of our pets, we host a walk every November and a silent auction to fundraise for cancer research. Comparative oncology searches for similarities between the cancers that strike our children, our parents, and our pets.

Feline Rescue and Rehome (FuRR) Saving Lives One Cat at a Time

From a cat rescue and adoption group, we have grown to a focused rescue aimed at reducing the number of unwanted animals in Arkansas. Our Operation Jack Program, FuRR’s feral cat Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) program has been saving the lives of hundreds of feral and stray cats since its beginning in the summer of 2007. Additionally, we offer spay/neuter assistance for these cats that are brought to our clinic. While they are there, they are vaccinated and treated for parasites (fleas/ticks/worms) before they are re-released, thereby, preventing the birth and suffering of even more cats in Arkansas. Financial support is always welcome as are donations of food and supplies; please consider setting up an annual sponsorship to help our efforts.
