Georgia

Rat Terrier

Georgia is 4 years old and is micro-chipped, spayed and current on shots. She is a dream lap dog; very quiet and mild mannered. Georgia likes to be held and easily fits in the cradle of your elbow. Since she is four years old, she is well beyond the craziness of puppy-hood. 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
  • Cordless grooming clippers and blades
  • Flea/Tick Control (Frontline,K9Advantage,etc. No Sergeants products)
