Temporary Homes - We are still looking for some short-term fosters for some of our animals that would benefit from time away from the shelter (who wouldnt). Some time spent in a loving home might increase confidence and social skills, and make them more adoptable. If you are interested, or have any questions, let me know.
The blind German Shepherd we were looking for a home for has been adopted, in another city. We are now trying to help find a home for a blind Beagle. She is spayed and healthy, no heartworms, an older girl, very sweet, and a little hard of hearing. I have pictures, for anyone interested. She was found roaming the streets of Indianapolis, where she is presently in foster care, waiting for a loving, understanding home. If you are interested in adopting her, a transport can be arranged to get her to Little Rock. If interested let me know, and I will put you in touch with her foster family. She is not an HSPC dog, but I wanted to try to help her.
All day, every day---help is needed walking, bathing, playing with the dogs and cats of HSPC. The more time you spend with them, the more adoptable they become. You dont need to schedule a timeif you have some time available, just come on down. Were open 11-6 every day, and until 8PM Mondays and Fridays. Some new volunteers have been spending a lot of time with them, and they really appreciate it!
Adoptions: Schultz; Colonel Glenn; Bella; Takoda; Georgie, Idgie and Smokey Joe; Bunny; Juanita; Marigold; Dinah; Tom
HSPC T-shirts are only $8 for volunteers, and we have lots of great colors at the Mall store, and some at the shelter. Good to wear them when volunteering at the shelter, or at off-site events. We just got some new colors in size large at the shelter.
Volunteer orientation: February 28, 6:30 PM at the shelter.
