Nala's Story

Hi, my name is Nala, and I’d like to share a bit about myself. I’m an 8-year-old female Rat Terrier, still healthy and happy. Three years ago, after my senior owner passed away, I was placed in a foster home. I adore my people, especially my man, and spend my days curled up next to him on the couch and my nights snuggled beside him in bed. My home has lots of other dogs, and while I tolerate them, I prefer they don’t get too close to my man or my food. I think I’d be happiest as an only pet. I’ve been spayed and I’m a very good girl. The only reason I’m looking for a new home is that my fosters are moving far away. If you can make room in your heart and home for me: • Complete an adoption application at www.icarearkansas.com/application, and we’ll contact you within 72 hours to arrange a meet-and-greet at a convenient time, or • Visit us at the ICARE Shelter, 214 Circle Dr, Melbourne (next to the sheriff’s office), open Saturdays from 9 AM to noon, or • Call us at (870) 368-5000.

Izard County Animal Rescue Effort (ICARE)'s Adoption Policy

1. Complete an Application We want every pet to find a true forever home, so we match based on long-term fit, not first-come. Please complete the application at www.icarearkansas.com/application . Our Adoption Committee reviews it, calls you, and walks through any questions. We talk about daily care, exercise, vet visits, and how your current pets and family may adjust. If you rent, we confirm pet approval with your landlord. We also contact your two personal references and your vet. If you don’t have a vet yet, we’ll just make sure we’re on the same page about ongoing medical care. 2. Meet the Pet(s) Once you’re approved, we’ll set up a time for you to meet the pet(s) you’re interested in. We suggest everyone in your home attend if possible so you can see how the pet fits with your family. 3. Pay the Fee and Sign the Contract When you pick your new family member, you’ll meet with our adoption coordinator to pay the fee and sign the contract. We’ll answer any last questions so you feel ready and excited. 4. Pick Up Your New Pet Pick-up day is a happy day. For dogs, please bring a collar, leash, and harness so the trip home is safe and calm. We’ll send you home with the pet’s medical records and anything else you need to get started.
