The Forrest City Area Humane Society operates primarily in Forrest City, secondarily in the county outside the city limits. We have no law enforcement powers to deal with neglect, abuse, abandonment, or other animal issues outside St. Francis County.
We encourage the formation of sister organizations in the surrounding counties; we acknowledge our sister organization in Cross County. We are happy to work with other groups and with local law enforcement in the surrounding counties in so far as we are able to do so.
We are a diverse group of people who have the common goal of educating the community through working with others in the area to promote responsible pet ownership. We strive to care for unwanted animals and to place them in good, permanent homes. It is our goal to investigate and prosecute animal abuse in this community.
Application and adoption fee of $50.00 submitted by adopter. Home visits required for "bully breeds". Contract (application) requires the spay/neuter of any animal adopted from the shelter as per state law. We reserve the right to refuse to adopt to any applicant. We work out of the city animal shelter.
