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.

We are a few dedicated individuals who have formed Adopt-A-Stray in order to save many adoptable pets that would otherwise be euthanized in the shelters in our area. We routinely pull dogs and cats from the euthanasia list, as well as take in strays and owner surrenders as space allows.

Homeless Pets Lifeline is a volunteer organization whose purpose is to appose cruelty in all forms and encourage humane handling and care of animal, advance spay\neuter progams and strive for responsible adoptions and ownership.

HHLP has been around since 1995. Our goal is to place homeless animals in loving homes and to prevent pet overpopulation through sterilization and pet education.

We are a 501 C3 organization with a board of directors (9) who meet monthly. We were organized in 1978 and we normally admit about 700 animals each year and adopt about 75% of those.

Ozark Homeward Bound is a non-profit organization created in June 2010 to address the abandoned and neglected dogs and cats in north central Arkansas. We do not have a shelter, but depend on foster volunteers to care for our dogs and cats while they await adoption. OHB will spay/neuter each cat or dog, give them all age-appropriate vaccinations and treat them for parasites before they leave for their fur-ever homes. We do require an adoption application with references to insure the best homes for our fur kids. Close attention is given to matching the needs of a pet to the adoptive family. Not all who apply are approved. Donations are always needed, and always appreciated. We also accept Honorarium and Memorial contributions.

ARRUFF is an all-breed 501C3 non profit incorporated in 2004. Our mission is to reduce the number of dogs and cats that are needlessly euthanized at our local shelter. We also take in abandoned, stray, and wounded animals, and also take in pets that families can no longer care for due to job moves or inability to care for them properly.

In the past 11 years NAFA has been responsible for and assisted with the rescue of thousands of dogs and cats from puppy mills, catteries, class B dealers, backyard breeders, pet stores and individuals. NAFA has no shelter. All animals are kept in foster homes to help promote mental and physical health. Volunteers give their time, supplies and love, but receive no monetary compensation. All donations are used for the direct care of the animals. Programs include: ASH - Animal Safe Harbor for pets in domestic violence; RAID - Rescuing Animals in Distress for abuse investigation; PATS - Pet Assistance to Seniors in conjunction with Area Agency on Againg; NAFA ARK - Arkansans Reduce Killing - providing low cost spay/neuter; monthly Low Cost Vaccination Clinics; Paw Patrol - Youth Education Programs; AID - Animals in Disaster; Animeals - Animal Food Bank; Juvenile Detention Vistitation; Trap-Neuter-Relocate; Monthly Animal Events; Court Advocacy for Animals; Public and Professional Seminars for Animal related issues; free behavior assessment and training recommendations
