Program areas at Humane Society of Pulaski County
Adoption services: the Humane Society of Pulaski County accepts cats and dogs from the public as well as transfers from other shelters and rescues. These animals are provided food, water, and socialization in a 25,000 square foot facility run by a full time staff seven days a week. These dogs and cats are made available for adoption to the public seven days a week for a nominal fee. On occasion, some of the animals are transported to receiving shelters in the north or on to breed specific rescues. This organization does not euthanize animals for lack of space nor place time limits on animals available for adoption.
Community services: hspc is dedicated to Humane education. Our shelter education room is used for school groups, birthday parties, volunteer training, public animal welfare workshops, etc. We take our "be kind to animals" message on the road as well as through our mobile adoption unit called the heart (Humane education and rescue transport) to schools, libraries, festivals, parades, businesses, etc. We work with lawmakers in our state to create legislation to improve the treatment of animals in Arkansas and collaberate with city shelters and other rescues to reduce euthanasia rates.
Veterinarian care: our shelter has a well-equipped veterinarian clinic with a full time licensed veterinarian and two veterinarian assistants. All spays and neuters, routine surgeries, disease treatment, vaccinations, wellness exams, etc. Are performed by this team. Complex surgeries and serious illness requiring specialists are sent to partnering veterinarians who offer discounted services.
