About Our Shelter

Sebastian County Humane Society | Animal Shelter Arkansas

Saving lives through adoption, foster, and community care—because every pet deserves a loving home.

Compassion in Action

We care for homeless pets across Sebastian County with medical treatment, behavior support, and pathway planning. Our team and volunteers work daily to reunite families, match adopters, and keep pets with the people who love them.

Foster Care

Short-term homes for puppies, kittens, and medical recoveries. We supply food, meds, and support.

Clinic & Outreach

Low-cost spay/neuter, microchipping, and pet pantry days keep pets healthy and at home.

We partner with local rescues, veterinarians, and municipal agencies to expand lifesaving impact.

How Adoption Works

  1. Visit the shelter or browse pets online; meet your favorites in our play yards.
  2. Chat with our counselors about lifestyle, training plan, and fit.
  3. Complete the adoption; most pets go home the same day.
  4. Enjoy post-adoption support and training resources.
