Featured Pets

Luna

Boxer Mix

Luna is a 65 pound Boxer mix rescued from the Springdale Animal Shelter. She is all heart and likes to be at the center of activity. She gets along with other dogs and just wants to please her foster family. Luna\'s first owner never did any training with her so now she is a bit of a bull in a china shop with puppy-ish energy and activity but with no boundaries. She was at her foster mom\'s house for almost a week, but she was very rambunctious.She is now being fostered by a local doggie daycare facility and a local trainer is working with Luna to make her a great addition to any family.

For more information or to see all of our adoptable pets, visit our petfinder site.

RED ALERT: Urgent Message Regarding Fostering

We do not take in pets from the public at large. We foster highly adoptable pets from the Springdale Shelter only.

Springdale Animal Shelter Partners With FPS To Foster and Adopt Pets

Springdale Animal Shelter has asked FPS to form a partnership in fostering and placing their most adoptable dogs. The Springdale Animal Shelter and FPS will launch this partnership with a float entered in the Springdale Christmas parade. FPS will recruit and screen foster homes who will foster adoptable dogs until they get forever homes. The dogs nearing a 'put down date' will take top priority for fostering outside the shelter. FPS will post these animals on the website and each will be identified in some way as one of the shelter rescues. FPS Treasurer, Kathy Jaycox, met with the Mayor and the Director of Animal services recently to discuss the proposal and the concept. Now, the two organizations are developing the guidelines and the official agreement for the new alliance. FPS has recruited 2 new foster homes, both for small to medium dogs. We still need more foster homes for medium to large dogs and foster homes for cats. The Springdale Shelter is in need of the following items:

Dry dog, puppy, kitten, cat food
Canned dog & cat food
Clay cat litter (No no clumping litter please,too dusty/messy for cages)
Stainless steel cat litter pans
Stainless steel dog bowls

University of Arkansas Students Support FPS

FPS has been contacted by two U of A students for media Programs. The students, working independently from each other, will prepare multi-media programs of a few FPS officers and volunteers. This is an assignment associated with a media class on campus. Each media program will last just 2-4 minutes. One, by Danny Meyer, will focus on the BF program and the other, by Luke Gramlic, will cover an overview of the whole organization. Here is a link to one of the projects and a link to YouTube for the other:
