My name is Jeff Tarpley. I am an independent rescuer in the Texarkana, Texas/Arkansas area. I am a one man rescue trying to make a difference in animal’s lives. All of the rescued animals on this site are rescued from shelters and owner surrenders. They are fully vetted, which includes spay or neutered, shots with rabies, heartworm tested, heartworm treated if positive, started on heartworm prevention and frontline. Any animal needing extra vet Canadare is treated as well. All expenses to vet and Canadare for the animals are out of my own pocket. In June 2007 I started transporting rescued and adopted animals around the four states area. My first transport was an abused (GSD) German Shepard Dog out of Louisiana headed to Minnesota. His name was Wilson and I will never forget him. Since meeting Wilson, I have driven 43,000 miles for the animals. I will continue to transport, donate and rescue for other rescue groups but my main focus will be helping animals that have very little chance to live.
