I try not to take hiatuses from posting because we aren't taking hiatuses in saving lives, vetting the less fortunate dogs and doing all we can to help Garland County. Since we last posted, we pulled two dogs from the City of Hot Springs Animal Services. We have vetted/paid for vetting for three Community Resource Dogs and five citizen dogs. We are bleeding out trying to help one dog at a time. We are passionate about helping spay and neuter the many dogs in our community especially those who are on the streets. I see first hand the amount of unwanted puppies who are passed around and abandoned because of these litters. You can help with this by helping us with funds.

Today we are featuring 🫎 MOOSE 🫎. Moose is now fully vetted. He loves going on walks and demands at least three a day. He stands at the gate after going potty (perfectly trained) and sits doing pitter-patter feet in a happy dance waiting on his leash to be attached so he can enjoy time walking.

Moose is around 3 years old and knows basic commands. When he gets excited, he does zoomies and returns to lean his body on yours as he looks up for approval.

Moose is good with most dogs, but I encourage meet and greets. I would not recommend a cat home. All Moose needs is a couch to chill on, a hand to give him scratches and a person to enjoy walking with. -- a best friend.

This poor boy was dumped three times, with the last time being the dog park. He deserves a loving home where he can trust his owner. If you're interested in Moose, please DM us and we will get you to our application.

He is also available as a foster to adopt.
We are located in the Hot Springs, AR area and desperately want Moose to find his forever.

Despite our grief, we must keep moving forward. We have THREE amazing dogs who MUST find forever homes. We only take the ones we know have potential and need us the most. All three of these boys, have been overcomers, but one thing they've not found is their forever home. They don't know what it's like to truly have a loving family. We know you're out there. We know you have a place in your heart and home for one of them.

Moose, a brown and white Staffy/Aussie mix loves people. He really does well with women as we think he possibly was abused by a man before being abandoned in our dog park. Once Moose trusts you, the stars are the limits. He LOVES going on walks and jogs twice a day. He goes and stands at the fence and patiently waits for his leash to be put on to go for a stroll. He does well with all non-dominant dogs and enjoys belly scratches and treats. Moose is fully vetted and UTD on all vaccines. All he needs is you. He is kennel trained and potty trained and knows all basic commands.

Bobo, is a senior huge brindle Blockhead Bully boy. He was abandoned on a property with no food, water and left to die. He had dog friends who were taken, but he was left behind. Bobo is fully vetted and loves to chill in his kennel or the couch. He needs a retirement home that's nice, quiet and loving where he can be told he matters in your life as he only existed and never mattered before. Bobo is scared of storms, most likely from being tied up in them outside his entire life. Now, he just curls in his kennel and trembles. Please consider giving him a loving home.

Samson is a smaller, young, handsome black and white Staffy mix who is fully vetted, knows all basic commands and is great with kids and elderly. He was saved from a horrible environment by an elderly couple who found out he was being mistreated, abused and not properly fed or watered. They couldn't leave him behind so has patiently been awaiting a home with you. Samson is smart, great on a leash and just craves laying on the couch or bed next to you. He needs a home with people who enjoy playing with him and treating him like a family member.

Please consider adopting one of these three as they MUST find homes soon.

We are located in the Hot Springs, Arkansas area and will transport. Please DM us if you would like the link to the application.

On another note we have fully vetted another four dogs for our disadvantaged community so if you want to help us, help them, please consider donating at our website or directly to LeeAnns Rescue Account at Temperance Hill Animal Hospital.

We will post our available dogs tomorrow.

Today, we lost our leader of our pack, our Lily Rose. She had been declining in health the last few weeks and around noon she took a horrible turn for the worst. We thank our amazing friends at THAH for quickly meeting us, so she didn't have to suffer long.

She now is in Heaven with her besties. We hurt so deeply, but know we made the right decision for her.

She lived a long life for a Bulldog and was the bossiest woman who self appointed herself as leader of the pack from day one. She was our ornery, independent girl who loved her two amigos more than life itself.. she tolerated everyone else. Things just don't seem right without her here with us. Lily, we love you beyond words and will miss you forever.

We are so thankful for two amazing adopters who swept up some of our special cases. We still have THREE left in foster homes who MUST find homes soon.

On the same day we watched beautiful Dixie find her home as well as Oliver. It was heartwarming to see both find homes who have Bully breed experience and are willing to work with their new fur kids.

Dixie's new Momma had just experienced the sad loss of her two fur kids within a short period of time. Her super senior had passed away while at the vet in June breaking her but she had been watching from afar. A few days ago she again saw Dixie on our page. Well, her girl who recently passed was also Dixie. She couldn't put the feeling away. On Thursday, she met with Dixie and decided she couldn't walk away and decided to make her a part of the family. Thank you! We so appreciate Dixie's foster momma Charlene for the help working with Dixie and loving on her until she was adopted. She is HW+ but we are paying for this treatment. Charlene helped nurse Dixie to a healthy weight and prepare her for a loving home.

Then, Oliver. Y'all, this boy had a horrible beginning. He was located collapsed in front of a rural church. They originally called him in as dead, but he raised his head and let everyone know he wasn't done fighting. Suffering from severe heat exhaustion, a chain and tie around his neck, lacerations, deep wounds, infection around his face and neck and weak he was ready to be saved. He was treated at a local veterinarian and came to Animal Services where we quickly saw how stinking amazing he was. He was kennel trained, kind, perfect on a leash and potty trained. An adopter swooped in and said all the right things and his application looked perfect. Then the next day, boom, there he was? He failed to mention he would soon be moving and he just looked into the insurance policy and they refused to carry him in that location with a Bully breed. We were destroyed for him, but someone else was too, his new adopter who knew this was a sign to come save him. He brought his old man dog up and they hit it off well. He will now be a couch dog! That's what we love! Oliver will be fully vetted Monday. We pray he is HW-.

Now we still have Bobo and Moose who desperately need homes. We will feature them tomorrow.

We are located in the Central Arkansas area and will transport if needed.

We have had two adoptions who we will feature in the coming days, so today we will feature two of the four we desperately need to find an amazing home.

Dixie, is a gorgeous six year old Staffordshire Terrier who came into Animal Services hugging everyone..it was as if she knew she wasn't going to live a life in need of food, having to have litter after litter of puppies and worrying about being left outside 24-7. Dixie has been fully vetted and loves everyone. She is mild HW+ but we are treating her and she is excelling. She has done great with cats, dogs and birds. She loves cuddling and hugging with her people and would thrive in a home where she is told she is "pretty" all the time.

MOOSE 🫎 y'all, he's one of our favorites. This guy is a big, beautiful boy who is around 2 and a half years old. He was dumped at the city dog park in a heat wave. Moose just stood there and waited on his family to return and they never did. It's heartbreaking. Moose is a Staffordshire Terrier/Australian Shepherd. He LOVES to go on walks and jogs and enjoys playing fetch. He is treat motivated and does great in a kennel. He is perfectly potty trained and knows all basic commands. At the end of the day he enjoys putting his weight on you and leaning against you to let you know he's right by your side. Moose is fully vetted and had his Proheart 6 shot. He has done well with non dominate dogs and kids.

If you're interested in either, please DM us immediately. We will get you to our application.

We are located in the Central Arkansas area and will transport.

We have had sooo much going on! We have even forgotten to feature a few of our adoptions. 🫩 ⬅️⬅️That's currently how I look as work, work, work never stops. It's been overwhelming to say the least. Currently, we have two fosters at are home in addition to our pack of fur kids.

First thing, we just paid our bill at Temperance Hill Animal Hospital . Y'all it was $4781.50. If you want to help us, please donate at:
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=NKTRDLB2FJBY8

OR directly at THAH by phone (501) 525-5723 or in person from 8 AM until 5 PM Monday through Friday.

It's such a struggle and balancing act seeing so many animals in need of help and trying to do as much as possible for the ones who need it the most, but not over extending the rescue where we have nothing. Us, Leo's Life (LeeAnn's Rescue) along with Hope Fur Paws Rescue have pulled 95 percent of the "pitbull" breeds who have been placed in homes this year from City of Hot Springs Animal Services, saving them from certain euthanasia this year.

We currently have FOUR dogs in foster situations looking for their forever homes. Bobo, our senior big, girthy boy who needs a retirement home to lay his head. Sampson, who is a young black and white Staffy mix who was saved by a couple in their 80's who want the best for him. Dixie, who was just saved from HSAS a few weeks ago and is being medically treated and will be available in the coming weeks and Moose who will also be available in the coming weeks when he is fully vetted.

We adopted Chica from HSAS, (a Lala, one of our personal dogs) twin. We were elated to see her go to one of the most loving and amazing homes. Her new owners had recently lost a senior dog and we're finally ready for a new companion. Chica walked up to them and cried for hugs. It was an immediate perfect match. She was FULLY vetted including ALL the things and a Proheart 6 shot earlier this week.

We also adopted Belle, one our favorites at HSAS to our friend and amazing trainer, Ms. Karen Kelley after one of her pack member passed away of old age. Belle will now be used to help other dogs learn to dog! We made sure Belle was fully vetted and got her a Proheart 6 shot!

So now, please donate, share and adopt. We only pull the dogs who we know deserve the best after their painful beginnings. We do everything we can to find the best, most loving adopters. We hope you can share their stories and help us find amazing homes for Bobo, Sampson, Dixie and Moose .

We are located in the Hot Springs, AR area and will transport to an amazing home.

Myra was adopted! We are so excited to see this precious girl be ADOPTED finally last Tuesday. She had gone on a meet and greet, but unfortunately it wasn't a match. Sometimes things work out like this for a purpose, because a day later, another family saw a flier with her on it and took her home to their huge farm and other doggy friends. It's been reported she is doing great. They are not on social media so just trust us when we tell you how wonderful this family is. We couldn't be happier for her.

Super foster parent Charlene Green couldn't waste any time, so after five days, she and her amazing husband reported to HSAS and decided they would help us save another dog. Dixie Lynn was her choice! She will be available through us in the coming weeks after she is fully vetted. Dixie Lynn is the most gentle, loving and hugging little lady.

She is believed to be around three years old and was found running back and forth in an intersection trying to get into cars, after witnesses believed she was trying to find her owner who tossed her out of a car.

Keep watch to see her progress and when she is available. You can apply at our website or donate to help us with vetting at: www.leeannsrescue.org.

Also we pulled another sweet little boy today. Tiko, the pocket Bully went to a phenomenal family. They came to visit with him after losing their fur child. They wanted a small dog, but not a "fru-fru" type dog. Tiko fit the bill, PERFECTLY! We are so excited for his future.

Lastly, we are still doing heartworm treatments on five of our adopted dogs and we are praying these two newest will be negative. PLEASE use heartworm prevention y'all!

If you're interested or have questions, please DM us!

We are located in the Hot Springs, AR area.

We pulled another sweetheart from City of Hot Springs Animal Services yesterday. When we were contacted by Karen Kelley , trainer extrodinaire about Belle, we were ecstatic.

Unfortunately, one of her long time pack members passed away days ago. She uses her pack to help train other dogs with aggression, confidence issues and learning good habits. She decided the best way to honor her sweet girl, was to save another! Belle had caught her eye in HSAS videos and she couldn't believe no one had snatched up this sweet, yet timid lady.

I let her know Belle was still there, waiting. After she observed some videos of her interacting with other dogs, she let me know, she was coming to save her!

Belle doesn't know it, but she won the lottery. She will travel, learn and grow. She will make friends and when she's ready, teach other dogs, how to dog!

Thank you Ms. Karen for adopting the underdog, the one who was abandoned with eight puppies. The one we could see had something special inside her.

We took Belle to get her Proheart 6 shot and paid for some other vaccines and dewormer. She will never be abandoned again!

Also, don't forget about Bobo and Sampson. Bobo is currently being fostered by Ms. Karen and was featured in our last post. We want him to find his perfect retirement home soon.

06/11/2025

Do you love big ole blockheads? Well, BOBO is your man! He's a senior boy, but please don't let that scare you. Bobo was another one we pulled from Hot Springs Animal Services after he was abused and abandoned on a property for weeks after his owners moved and left him behind to starve.

Bobo spoke to us and we could see he wanted to be loved, so we pulled him with the awesome dog trainer extraordinaire, Ms. Karen Kelley agreed to foster him. Before he went to her, he was neutered and it was found he had testicular cancer! The poor boy couldn't catch a break. The doctors were able to get excellent margins and he was cancer free.

Now, he's been with Ms. Karen for way too long and needs a family. One who is lazy and just wants to Netflix and chill, because that's Bobo and his attitude. He is seriously not into lots of physical activity, but is very capable of it. His face in his photos tell the story! He is mostly good with other dogs and usually could care less about them or playing. He just wants your sofa to chill with. He LOVES his kennel and is a foodie.

Would you like to meet Bobo? He deserves a family to care for him, love him and let him chill in the sun, on the floor and get ear scratches along the way.

Please DM us immediately if you're interested and we can arrange a meeting (meet and greet) and get you to our application. Bobo is fully vetted and on prevention.

We are located in the central Arkansas area and can meet or transport if necessary.

Also** pray for Myra who is completing a weekend meet and greet with a potential adopter beginning today. We hope she has found her forever. Now, we just need Bobo to find his place.

Myra needs a family badly. She was another emaciated, tossed to the side dog. She is nearly perfect, so we can't understand why?

She's sweet and gentle. She LOVES the water and to play fetch. She would be a great lake dog/pool dog to have fun with all summer long.

She's fully vaccinated and on heartworm/flea-tick prevention. She's been spayed and microchipped. She LOVES other dogs. She loves cats....as long as they're inside cats.

Myra is two to three years old so she's past the hard stages and ready for a loving family like YOURS! She is house and crate trained. Interested? PLEASE DM us.

Transport available to the perfect home.
She was rescued from animal services and has been in foster care with our amazing foster mom Charlene since March. She's ready for you to take her to the lake!

**We are located in the Hot Springs, AR area and will be featuring handsome older gentleman Bobo tomorrow.**

05/24/2025

Good morning! We hope you all have a safe Memorial Day weekend. We won't ever forget the ultimate sacrifice so many of our service members have made for our country.

These last two and half weeks we have fully vetted three more dogs and gotten another a current Proheart 6 shot. We pulled two dogs for their forever from City of Hot Springs Animal Services and we still have THREE remaining in foster care who need their forever, all three being fully vetted!

We hope you consider adding to your family with one of our well rounded, loving pups who have all gone through the deep trenches and now on the other side, just need a loving family.

Please consider donating to our rescue so we can continue to help save more, fully vet more and help our at need community in Garland County by spaying and neutering their dogs.

Today was a good day, Sue found his forever! We couldn't be happier for his new family who will keep in contact with his previous owner so he can see his good boy. Sue now has human siblings to grow alongside and to have as play partners. The crazy part of this story is both Momma and Daddy saw Sue and his story. Both wrote us, without the other one knowing! How crazy is that? It had to be fate as both have been empty hearted after their senior dog recently died, leaving their home not the same and their kids without a four legged best friend. Sue, his look, demeanor and love of life reminded them of their fur child who recently passed. Here's to forever after the meet and greet went amazing!

Now, for one of our others who MUST find a home soon.

Amyra AKA Myra

Myra was also pulled from City of Hot Springs Animal Services by our miracle foster parent, Charlene. She knew they were at critical capacity so she chose the one who bowed her head down in sadness as each person passed by her. She was massively underweight and a black dog (which always makes it harder). Amyra was so sad after being abandoned by her previous owners on a property with no food, water or shelter. Charlene snatched Amyra up and she reports she hasn't looked back!

We have now fully vetted this two year old, well mannered young woman.
She is great with:
**other dogs and really is partial to the older male dogs in her foster home
**she loves indoor cats
**loves treats and playtime
**she knows all basic commands,
**she is kennel trained
**she is is great on a leash
**She loves everyone she meets.
**she recently received a Proheart 6 shot

Amyra desires nothing more than a permanent family. A loving and caring family is something she's been cheated out of most her lifetime. Charlene needs to be able to help others and Amyra is ready for your love. If you are interested in this nearly perfect little lady, please contact us ASAP and we can get you to our adoption application.

This type of weather we are having reminds us of our need as humans to have a dog be our companion, to play outside together, to go on walks with one another, to experience life outside together. Please someone, give Amyra that!

We are located in the Garland County area of Arkansas.
