Save homeless pets in Northwest Arkansas
Best Friends is dedicated to finding permanent, loving homes for dogs and cats in America's shelters, including here in Northwest Arkansas. Together with caring people in the community like you, we can ensure every pet knows a bright future.
We want to make sure that everyone has the same access to loving pets and that every adoptable pet has the option of residing in the comfort of a foster home rather than in a kennel in a shelter.
Best Friends’ new home
The Best Friends Pet Resource Center in Northwest Arkansas represents the future of animal sheltering. It is the first-of-its-kind, fully reimagined shelter that breaks the mold of the antiquated facilities that have been the norm for almost 150 years. It’s design and operation reflect an understanding that our animal companions are an integral part of our communities. It is accessible, inviting and life-affirming for all pets. The community-centric center upends a traditional model of stress-inducing kennels and cages for homeless pets and often limited or non-existent support and services for people struggling to keep their pets.
