OOTW Animal Rescue of Arkansas is a non-profit group which focuses on helping independent rescuers who take in and then care for stray and abandoned animals until an adoptive home is found. The organization does this by extending its available resources to these caring rescuers. OOTW promotes the spaying and neutering of all pets and also assists low income families in finding economical options for spaying/neutering their pets. Proceeds from Howl-O-Ween will go to support the animals rescued by OOTW Animal Rescue of Arkansas.
