Opening in 2023, this will be a place where families can access services for their pets, and homeless dogs and cats can get the care and help they need to find loving homes. 

The Best Friends Pet Resource Center is a first-of-its-kind, fully reimagined shelter that upends the traditional model of animal facilities that have been the norm for almost 150 years. Its design and operation reflect an understanding that our animal companions are an integral part of our families and our communities.

The center will transform the way homeless pets are cared for and serve as a nationwide model right here in Northwest Arkansas.

You’re freeing up space and resources for pets in shelters throughout Arkansas, and giving them a chance to grow, thrive and find families of their very own. You might not feel like a hero, but to one animal, you’re the entire world.

Whether you volunteer locally or at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary (located in Kanab, Utah), whether you help to transport pets across the country or help animals from your home via one of our national opportunities, you can make a tremendous difference in the lives of homeless pets.

Community events

Best Friends will be out on the town at these upcoming community events.

When you make a gift to the animals, you’ll be helping to save the lives of homeless pets here in Northwest Arkansas and around the country.
