Move Over Phil! While groundhogs are known to predict the weather, they aren’t the only animals that can tip you off about the climate outside. For example: * When a cow endeavors to scratch its ear, it means a shower is very near. * If the robin sings in the bush, then the weather will be coarse; * If the robin sings on the barn, then the weather will be warm. * Wild geese, wild geese, going out to sea, all fine weather it will be. * Wolves always howl more before a storm. * Deer and elk come down from the mountains at least two days before a storm. * When a squirrel eats nuts in a tree, weather is as warm as warm can be. * Good weather may be expected when a cat washes itself, but when it licks its coat against the grain, expect bad weather. * When dogs rub themselves in winter, it will thaw soon. So before you put away those winter boots or your rain gear, observe how your pets or wild animals are behaving. Compiled by Farmers’ Almanac TV staff

Who We Are

Dan and Jessica Garrison are independent rescuers in Arkadelphia, Arkansas who strive to improve the quality of life for the animals in Arkansas. New Leash on Life is a no-kill, independent shelter and our goal is to promote animal welfare such as abuse prevention, responsible animal care, and the importance of spaying and neutering. Our mission is to find loving, caring, forever homes for our rescue dogs who so desperately deserve a second chance at happiness. Aside from monetary donations, we are always in need of the following services and/or items: Volunteers to brush, play with dogs, walk dogs, clean pens, someone who is familiar with html web design, dog food, dog toys, Petco/Walmart/Petsmart gift certificates, dog houses (all sizes), Frontline (all sizes), Heartguard (all sizes).

Adopting a friend

Our adoption process begins with finding an animal who touches your heart, then making sure the animal is compatible with your lifestyle and home. We want our dogs to find loving, forever homes. We reserve the right to deny any adoption if we do not feel that it is a good match. We request that you first complete an adoption application. We require a home visit and references from your vet. If approved, you will be required to complete an adoption contract. Yes, the adoption process may be time-consuming, but it's well worth it in the end: you adopt a pet that's right for you, and the pet gets a loving, permanent home. Our adoption fee is $75.00 for dogs and $50.00 for cats. All dogs and cats are spayed or neutered, up-to date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative prior to adoption.
