New Hope Cattle Dogs of AR Rescue and Rehoming, Inc. is a Breed Specific non-profit animal welfare shelter. NHCDAR was founded, and is operated by, Lawrence W. Riggs Sr. - Founder and CEO. NHCDAR is a Federally recognized 501 C3 Non-Profit organized for the sole purpose of taking care of misfortunate Australian Breed Dogs. Mr. Riggs has been working with animals for most of his life and has bred and trained several dog varieties including Weimaraner and Standard Poodle. He is also a very knowledgable Horseman. He is very experienced with the Australian breeds of Cattle Dog, Queensland Blue Heeler, Queensland Red Heeler, and Australian Shephards.

Mr. Riggs founded NHCDAR in March of 2009 and Incorporated as an Arkansas Non-Profit in December 2009, after becoming more aware of the tragic numbers of wonderful and loving pets being discarded each year by families across our nation. Through no fault of their own, and due to circumstances beyond their control, these animals are simply turned loose, discarded in the country or city, or worse yet taken out and shot. I know this sounds horrible to most but there is a better way. Our Rescue, and Rehoming through adoption program finds many of these dogs new fur-ever homes. Our funding comes from the generosity of members of our community. Please be generous and DONATE to our cause.
