BVAS is a small, non-profit 501(c)(3), animal shelter that, since 1985, has been located in Bella Vista, Arkansas. We are dedicated to rescuing and reuniting.
Our Shared Mission: To rescue and rehabilitate the homeless animals of Bella Vista. We provide food, shelter, and medical care for animals in need until they can be reunited or adopted to loving homes.
Each year we service over 500 dogs from the city of Bella Vista. We know they would rather be at home with you.
Every day our staff interacts with each animal providing fresh water and food. Every living space is cleaned with bleach and deodorizer.
For $20 your pet can be microchipped at the shelter. This allows any vets office or animal welfare agency to identify the pet with a quick scan. We will also register the chip for you and update if your information changes.
We are limiting the number of people entering the kennels. We encourage you to stop in and tell us what you need in a companion and we will bring the dogs to you.
The no-kill shelter is managed by an elected, volunteer board. We have seven full time employees and numerous volunteers. The shelter cares for over 500 dog and cats a year. Animals are fed, Dogs walked and their kennel is cleaned 365 days a year. All this is made possible by hundreds of concerned citizens who give so generously of their time and money.
The welfare of the animals is our driving concern. Consider adopting one of our animals. We will do what we can to ensure that an animal can stay out of our shelter and in a loving home.

Rescue dogs are often a mixed breed and tend to live longer. If you are looking for a particular breed, we recommend going to their particular rescue group. Even if they are not local, they will have resources. We do not recommend people profiting off their animals offspring ever.

Visit us. We have a volunteer application for animals and events. Visit with an adoptable animal and write a bio with a hand drawn picture, and we will post it. Encourage those in your neighborhood to alter their animals.
We have found that Purina One works best with all our residence’s tummy’s.
It helps them live longer lives and keeps them at home. Animals that are not altered, tend to roam, become aggressive and of course, reproduce at an alarming rate. An average cat has 1-8 kittens per litter and 2-3 litters per year.
