Adopt a Shelter Dog!
Come out and see us Up Close &
Personal. The Shelter is open Monday - Friday from 8 AM
- 4PM. A telephone call (870-633-7036) before you come will
insure that someone is there to help you!
We have a special need for Towels,
Collars, Leashes & Brushes! These items can be dropped
off at the Times Herald front desk, brought to the shelter, or
given to any member of the Humane Society! Check our wish
list for items that are always needed.
Thank You!
Help Name a Shelter Dog!
Every homeless dog needs a name. Sometimes when
naming the dogs that come into the shelter something unusual about
that particuar animal causes a name to just jump into your mind...
sometimes that doesn't happen. Dog names by the thousands can be
found on the internet, but the pet owners I know have come up with
some of the best and most unique names found anywhere! Lend a dog
the name of a favorite pet from your past or just send something
you like. The name you submit will be put on a list and then matched
with a dog that needs it. Email your favorite names to juptigrove@sbcglobal.net
Note: In order to avoid the email
filter trap please type Name a Shelter Dog in the
subject line. This is not a contest. There is no prize except the
satisfaction that you will feel because you have given a homeless
dog a name to take along on his journey to his forever home!

We need Adoption Sponsors!
Your support can help someone give a pet a home.

our "Sponsor an Adoption" program.
We need supplies!
Please check our
Wish List! This list
is updated as the need for specific items changes. Many supplies
are needed to care for the animals! Some items are urgently
needed. The members and volunteers work very hard to make
sure that each animal has water, food, exercise, and the attention
that they require but supplies run low very quickly. You may find
that many of the items on our list are tucked away in your storage
rooms or pushed into the back of your closets. As you begin to do
your spring cleaning please remember the animals!
We need volunteers!
We need volunteers to help care for and socialize the puppies and
adult dogs at the shelter. Each animal benefits from a little extra
time with a volunteer who can remove the dog from his pen to be
groomed, take a walk, play with a ball, or to just enjoy being petted.
All dogs love attention and the dogs at the shelter respond positively
to love and care.
We need foster homes!
Not every dog can be placed at the shelter. Many times it’s
a case of just not having enough room to accommodate them all. The
gift of time and love is immeasurable to animal that needs a caregiver
until he finds his forever home. Puppies and adult dogs are available
for the in-home Foster Program. Save a Life! Just fill out our Foster
Application and call the shelter!

We need your financial support!
Donations to the FCAHS are tax deductible and enable us to continue
with programs that help provide medicines, vaccinations, vet care,
spay/neutering, food, improvements to the shelter, education and
special circumstances. Donations are one way that busy people can
make a difference to the lives of the animals under our care.
We need your help with special
events!
From time to time the FCAHS holds special adopt-a-thons that help
spotlight highly adoptable animals. We do this at various locations
around Forrest City and we need help with animal transport, set
up, maintenance care and adoption paperwork and interviews. Many
animals have been adopted into their forever homes this way. Won’t
you help?
Our Mission
The Forrest City Area Humane Society needs your
help and support in order to keep growing and improving our facilities
to create the best environment for the dogs we care for. It is
our goal to shelter, protect, and defend the animals under our
care. We will continue to educate the public about proper pet
care and to raise funds to support the programs that make this
possible. Become a part of this network and help ensure that as
many dogs as possible are adopted into loving, forever homes
.
