About

Since 1946, the Humane Society of Pulaski County, located in Little Rock, Arkansas, has been making a difference in the lives of domestic animals in Central Arkansas. We maintain a private, no-kill shelter that is supported solely by donations, fundraisers, bequests, and grants. We receive no city, county or state funding, nor are we affiliated with any other organization. The mission of Humane Society of Pulaski County is to rescue, rehabilitate, provide veterinary care, spay/neuter, and find loving homes for Central Arkansas dogs and cats in need. Our shelter pulls animals from the overcrowded city and county shelters, owner surrenders, unwanted abused and/or injured pets, and the occasional stray. There are usually about 200 animals under our roof at a given time, with approximately half of those available for adoption and the other half being treated by our in-house veterinary staff until they can be released for adoption. We are also Arkansas’ only 4-star rated animal welfare charity, as rated by Charity Navigator. We are proud to be recognized for our fiscal responsibility, transparency, and hard work. You can donate with peace of mind, knowing that your money is being used wisely.

Adoption process

Our adoption screening process includes: Completing a thorough application; Providing proof of address; Perhaps allowing us to do a home check. We often ask adopters to bring their own dogs out to the shelter to meet the dog they would like to adopt. We review each application individually, so adopters need to allow enough time to visit with the animals, complete the application and interview with our adoption staff. All adopters must be 21 years or older. Our adoption fee is $100. This includes immunization shots, micro-chipping, worming, sterilization and any other medical care needed to make the animal healthy and ready for adoption. Post-adoption behavior support is also available. Please be aware that we do not approve every adoption application we receive. If we believe for any reason that the animal is not a good match for an applicant, we reserve the right to not approve the adoption. Adopting an animal is a long-term commitment that should not be made hastily, so take your time in making the decision to adopt! Carefully consider the time, money and energy it takes to care for a four-legged family member. Consider adopting an older animal, instead of a puppy or kitten. Or caring for a pet with special needs. Or taking two playmates together. We have dozens of great companion animals who need good homes. Let us help you find the right one for you!
