Thatâs how many animals an Omaha rescue group took in Wednesday from an Arkansas organization.
Nebraskaâs Animal Loving Advocates, or NALA Rescue for short, is putting the animals into foster homes this week, with its next goal to eventually find permanent homes for them.

The Arkansas-based Artemis Project received NALAâs approval and piled a large van high with kennels holding 32 dogs and 37 cats. The Artemis Project is a new organization that has tried to fill a void in Arkansas after the Fort Smith-area humane shelter closed in 2019. The project frequently transports dogs and cats to rescue and shelter groups in other states.

Organizers at Care Community Center in Rogers, which partners with Toys for Tots, say they have never had this many people need assistance before.
