Monetary donations needed for vet care
There have been several vet emergencies recently. Our funds are going fast. Lone Pine is a no-kill shelter and because of this, many of our animals have been with us since they were a few months old and are now seniors. Many are developing health issues. There are also several dogs and cats that have just come in that we have had to take to the vet right away. For instance Sophie, a 1 1/2 year old chocolate Shar Pei. She had a collar that had grown into her neck.

Everything we can do and afford to do is done to care for the animals at Lone Pine. However, with limited funds, we will be forced to have to euthanize animals because we do not want an animal to suffer if we can't give it the veterinary care it needs to get better.

Lone Pine does not have the volunteers or the sponsors to have fund raisers like the city and county shelters do. They have dog walks, car shows, etc. to raise funds. We are small and ran by primarily two (2) volunteers who work a full time job on top of spending hours and hours working at the shelter or for the shelter animals. There are other volunteers who help a few hours a week / month.

If you are interested in helping Lone Pine with a fundraising event, or if you would like to make a monetary donation, please call Kim at 479-366-0508. You may also make donations by using the PayPal link below. Please help us to continue to save lives.

Donations may be dropped off at Lone Pine on Saturdays (Click here for directions) or at Kim's Hair Finesse, 1133 NW "J" Street, Bentonville on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. You may also mail a monetary donation directly to Lone Pine or use the PayPal link below.

To make a donation to help the animals, please send your tax deductable donation to Lone Pine Ranch Animal Shelter, P.O. Box 194, Centerton, Arkansas 72719. Or donations may be made using PayPal. Please click on the PayPal button to the right to make a donation via internet.
Thank you.

Volunteers NEEDED at Lone Pine

Do you love animals?

Would you have more animals if you could, but can't because you do not have the room or the place you live will not let you have any more?

Volunteering with the Lone Pine Ranch Animal Shelter is your answer. Become an Aunt or Uncle to the LP animals.

You could fulfill your need for more animals in your life and fulfill the needs of the approximately 70 dogs and 45 cats that are in the care of Lone Pine. Volunteers are the life blood of Lone Pine. There are NO paid employee at LP so we could not survive without our volunteers. Not even the director of Lone Pine gets paid and works a full time job besides taking care of the animals.

Volunteers do a variety of tasks at the shelter and at public events. There is something for every physical ability and time constraints. Giving 30 minutes of your time a day or a week, means so much. A lot can get done in that time. Not all of them involve getting dirty either.

Here are just some of the things you could do: To get your ANIMAL FIX, and to find out more about how you can become a Lone Pine Volunteer, please contact Kim Ross at 479-366-0508.

Lone Pine Ranch...A NO KILL SHELTER

We have been very blessed, in that we have not had to put any of our animals to sleep. This is due to the efforts of our volunteers; rescue groups who have helped us with transports and to find homes for some of our dogs; donations from the public (even the small ones help); and donations from businesses.

To everyone who helped, we want to say THANK YOU! We could not have saved as many lives and done what we have done without you. You not only changed the lives of animals, but the people these animals now live with.

If you would like to help us to continue to save lives please consider becoming a volunteer or make a donation. Please contact Kim at 479-366-0508. Lone Pine is a 501(c)3 organization.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO HELP TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS

"A drop of water isn't much, but many drops will fill a bucket full of water." Translation...The donation you give, added to the others we hope to receive, mean a lot of help for the animals in our care. YOU can make a difference!
Lone Pine, like most shelters, survives primarily on donations. This means that when our budget is tight, and most of the time it is, even the less expensive items, such as bleach, can add up and be a worry. The supplies and materials needed to keep the animals in a clean, comfortable, and safe environment, along with the veterinary expenses, utilities, and gas really add up each month. That is why we are asking for donations of the following items listed below (not listed in any particular order). With your support we can save animals' lives and give them a second chance at a new life.

Everyone works full time so there isn't anyone at the shelter during the week. Please do not drop off donations during the week, but call or e-mail us to schedule a drop off time or pick up. We have had some items stolen in the past.

Wish List/Needed Items
Needed NOW
Frontline Plus for dogs and Revolution for cats. Fleas are awful right now.
Canned dog and cat food. Please no Old Roy or Special Kitty brands. Needed to help the old dogs maintain weight and to give medications.
Collars with buckles / snaps. All sizes, light colors, no patterns please. We write the animal's names on the collars.
Money for veterinary bills.
We strive to do whatever is possible to give the veterinary care an animal may need. However, we are often forced, due to lack of funds, to try to treat the animal ourself before taking it to the vet or to put the animal to sleep. The veterinarians we work with are wonderful and do what they can to help us keep costs down. Just like human health care and prescriptions, veterinary health care and prescriptions have sky rocketed too.

Our hope is to someday be able to give every animal in our care a vet check up, complete with a hearworm test, FIV/FELVtest, blood work, teeth cleaning, and the purchase of the a flea/tick/worm/ear mite and heartworm preventatives. We are currently barely able to afford to take a cat or dog to the vet for emergency care.

If you would like to help with the veterinary costs, you may call directly to the veterinarians that we use and put money on our account (Lone Pine Ranch Animal Shelter) with a credit card or you may mail it to the veterinary clinics. If you leave your name, address, and phone number we will mail you a receipt for tax purposes. Here are the vets we currently use.

New Arrivals and Updates
We have named the dogs brought into the shelter to help us identify them. Click on the animals' name to see their picture(s) (if available).

Brooke Brooke (pictured left) is a 2 year old Torbie. Very loving and sweet. She is one of the first cats in the barn to come up and greet visitors.

Rosie is approximately 4 1/2 years old and is a Pit mix. She is as sweet as her name with people and some dogs. Rosie would be best suited for a home with no other dogs or a home with a male dog. She does well with people and is very loving. Rosie is smart and walks well on a leash. The 7 year old volunteer who comes to LP enjoys walking and brushing her. Rosie just loves him.

Princess Princess (pictured right) is approx. 14 months old. She is sociable, lovable, and playful. Just a very special cat.

Rachel is approximately 4 years old and is a female Shepherd and Chow mix. She is happy, playful, and loving. Rachel and her brother, Joseph, need to find a home together as she watches out for him.

Joseph is approximately 4 years old and is a male Chow mix. He is a little shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he is wonderful. Joseph and his sister, Rachel, need to find a home together as she watches out for him.

Marshall Marshall (pictured left) is approximately 18 months old. He so wants to be next to someone. A real lover boy. At 23 pounds, he is a great size too.

Oakley is approximately 2 years old. He is a very handsome guy, who just wants to have fun and play with the other dogs. But he also loves getting and giving attention from the volunteers too. He is a smart boy who seems to catch onto things quickly. We do not think that Oakley has met a dog or person that he hasn't liked.

Donnie Donnie (pictured left) is approximately 6 months old in this picture. He is very friendly, playful, and loves people. We would love to adopt him and his sister, Marie, to a home together.

Macy is approximately 7 - 7 1/2 years old as of July 26, 2008. She is a very beautiful girl. Macy is a loving and friendly dog. She prefers not to associate with dogs who are not as pretty and intelligent as she is. Macy gets along much better with male dogs than with female dogs.

Ace is a 5 year old Shar Pei. She is very sweet and loves to cuddle. Ashley is housebroken.

Lost Animals
Click on the animals' name to see their picture(s) (if available).

LOST in Centerton - Bubba is a 14 yr old male cat. He is White with Black spots, has long hair, and is neutured. Bubba is missing the tip of his tail. His mom says that he has lost some weight so he is a little skinny. Bubba got away from the home he and his family were staying at while they moved. So he will be very afraid. If found, please call Christy at 479-531-8963.

If you do not see the animal that you lost or found, please report your missing pet to the following websites: petfinder.com, dogdective.com, pets911.com, and 1-800-save-a-pet.com. Many rescue groups and shelters get alerts from these sites as well as vets and private individuals. Next, put up flyers every place that will let you. Put an advertisement in the paper, call local vets (not just the one down the street either) and groomers, ALL animal shelters, AND this is a must GO TO THE SHELTERS EVERY EVERY DAY. All black cats look alike. What looks like a lab to you, may not look like one to the person who has the dog.

If you have lost a pet, we will be happy to post it on our site. Please e-mail or mail the information to us. Contact Info

Help your best friend get back home.
Always keep identification on your pet in case they get lost. Shelters see a lot of animals that have obviously had a home, but have no identification. Microchipping is also a great way to help your friend get back home as most shelters do scan any animal that comes in. Less than 10% of dogs and 2% of cats that come to shelters are picked up by their owners! If your pet is lost, remember to check the shelter EVERY DAY!

PLEASE HELP US BRING THEM HOME! E-mail us if you have information.

About Lone Pine
Lone Pine Ranch has been a non-profit 501(c)3 shelter since May of 2003. The shelter is in Centerton, Arkansas, which is just 4 miles West of Bentonville (home of Wal-Mart's General Offices) and about 45 minutes North of Fayetteville (home of the University of Arkansas). Click for directions with a map.

The shelter currently has approximately 70 dogs and 45 cats. As mentioned in an above section, we operate primarily from donations. We also are in great need of volunteers and foster homes. Our volunteer base currently consists of 4 -5 people and we only have one foster home to place animals that may just need a little socialization (TLC) before being adopted out.

Adoption Requirements
Everyone who volunteers at the shelter works full time and it takes us 3 - 5 business days (Monday - Friday days) to process applications. The volunteers have to fit the calls in during their lunch break and breaks (and sometimes we cannot take breaks during one of those days). Not all of the time do we get the personal reference or the veterinarian the first time. They may be busy and ask us to call back.

Please be patient and understand that we all do this as a labor of love and do not get paid, including the director, for doing what we do.

Priority will be given to local adoption applications. Rarely do we adopt out to anyone in another state unless it is just over the state line like Missouri or Oklahoma is from us (about 50 - 75 miles or within a 1 - 1 1/2 hours drive). With the small, prissy dogs, because we receive so many applications, we will not be adopting out of state.

Adoptions are not done on a first come, first served basis. Top Contact Info

Adoption Fees :
Dogs - $60.00; $75.00, if 25 pounds or under; and $100.00, regardless of size, if the animal is a pure breed.
Cats - $50.00
NOTE: There are times that Adoption Fees are more than what is shown here because of special circumstances such as we had to pay to rescue the animal to save it or it needed a lot of veterinary care. The Adoption Fee will be shown in the animal's bio.

NOTE:Adoptions are not done on a first come, first served basis. Several applications may be taken and processed before an animal gets adopted. This is especially true on the small dogs. Our goal is to find the best home for the animals in our care. Thank you for your understanding. We would be happy to mail, fax or e-mail our application to interested parties.

Hours of Operation:

Lone Pine is only open on Saturdays because all of the volunteers work full time. The shelter doesn't have full time staff people. The schedule below shows when we will be open based on volunteer availability. PLEASE check the schedule before you come out. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

NOTE: Please check this site for updated opening and closing information before you come see us. We do close or open late if the weather has made the shelter too muddy and dangerous for visitors, animals and volunteers. The shelter also closes if it is raining or snowing. Lone Pine is on a farm and the animals are in kennels in a yard. We would hate to have any two or four legged creatures get hurt or any cars get stuck in our yard. Thank you for your understanding.

Kitty Palace Hours
The Kitty Palace will be open when we have a volunteer familiar with the KP and / or by appointment. A completed and processed application must be done before a cat(s) can be taken home. E-mail for an application. Please do check this site just in case something comes up and we have to close that day. DOGS WILL NOT BE SHOWN.

Everyone works full time so there isn't anyone at the shelter during the week. Please do not drop off donations during the week, but call or e-mail us to schedule a drop off time or pick up. We have had some items stolen in the past.

Hope to see you Saturday...Come Visit Us!
