Your New Best Friend is Waiting

Since 1946, the Humane Society of Pulaski County, located in Little Rock, Arkansas, has been making a difference in the lives of domestic animals in Central Arkansas.

We maintain a private, no-kill shelter that is supported solely by donations, fundraisers, bequests, and grants. We receive no city, county or state funding, nor are we affiliated with any other organization.

The mission of the Humane Society of Pulaski County is to rescue, rehabilitate, provide veterinary care, spay/neuter, and find loving homes for local dogs and cats in need.

Our shelter pulls animals from the overcrowded city and county shelters, owner surrenders, unwanted, abused, and/or injured pets, and the occasional stray. There are usually about 200 animals under our roof at a given time, with approximately half of those available for adoption and the other half being treated by our in-house veterinary staff until they can be released for adoption.

We are also Arkansas’s only 4-star rated animal welfare charity, as rated by Charity Navigator. We are proud to be recognized for our fiscal responsibility, transparency, and hard work. You can donate with peace of mind, knowing that your money is being used wisely.
