What is this?

MONTHLY SPONSORS NEEDED NOW
Monthly donations ranging from $5 to $30 are used specifically to feed the dogs while they are here waiting their chance to impress the next person who comes down our drive.
Monthly donations ranging from $30 to $100 or more are used to spay / neuter each dog before it leaves the BFNCA facility for its new home and family.
(99% of the dogs that come to this facility are not spayed or neutered and if it's not done while they are here, it probably never will be. )
To become a Monthly Sponsor, just click on the link at the top of any page,
or call the shelter office at (870) 449-6750 anytime.

WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP?

A Friend is :

Someone who doesn't care if you're right or wrong. He'll be there to back you 100% no matter what.

Someone who won't argue with you about what's for dinner, or what we should do today. He'll be happy to just be with you whatever you decide.

Someone who is always happy to just lay at your feet and have you close by.

Someone who will never lie to you or go behind your back and cause you harm. His loyalty and care for your well-being is genuine and sincere.

Someone who will never steal from you, in fact he will lay down his life to protect the things that are yours simply because they are yours.

Someone who does not require expensive gifts to remain your friend or partner. Your friendship alone is enough.

Someone who will not turn their back on you when they find you just cannot be everything they thought you were.

Someone who doesn't care how big your house is, how new your car is, how expensive your watch is. He loves you just for who you are, his friend.

Someone who will go out of his way - everytime he sees you - to make you happy.

Someone who is always ready to listen to whatever you have to say. You can be happy or sad, in a hurry or mad, and he will always be willing to show you he cares.
That's a lot to ask of a friend so...
You say "No friend will do ALL of these things for me everyday"
and I'll say, "Let me show you My Dog".

We know that if you've ever met Charlie's dogs, whether one at a time or all together,
you've had to admit that they are an impressive bunch.
Well, here's how they got to be that way!

Toys ! - Toys ! - Toys !
Nope, it's not my birthday, We need Toys for the dogs!
Those 88¢ rope toys they sell at Wal-Mart will do just fine.
I've never had a dog hand one back to me and say, "This didn't cost enough..."
We'll even take your old shoes! You were just going to throw them away anyway.
You don't even have to come all the way out here to bring them!
I'd like to donate, but I don't have the time to drive all the way out to your shelter...
NOT A PROBLEM!
