The community of Joiner, AR, and those around it are overrun with stray dogs, as a lot of communities are. Folks are trying to establish a shelter for these animals, many of whom are starving. They have obtained permission to use an old school yard for this purpose. They have minimum shelter available at this time. Help is desperately needed with fencing, dog houses, food, and foster or adoptive homes. These folks are trying, and they need support from the surrounding communities and animal rescue groups. If you can help, please contact Chief John Davis of the Joiner Police Dept. at 870-537-4252. It appears that there is a man very interested in taking these dogs for research. These animals will avoid this horrible fate if enough people help. If you can foster or adopt---call Julanne Ingram at the West Memphis HS--870-735-3409.
