RED ALERT: Urgent Message Regarding FosteringAt this time, we do not have any For Pets Sake volunteer foster homes. We do help Northwest Arkansas families place their pets up for adoption by posting their pets on our websites. Be aware that placing a pet sometimes takes weeks or even months. It has not been our experience that posting a pet on our websites results in immediate placement in a loving home. There are just too many pets in need of homes in our area. We appreciate that if you are having to put your pet up for adoption, you must be in between a rock and a hard place. However, so are we! We will continue to try to help families in need, but we are absolutely unable to take in any fosters at this time and we ask that you have realistic expectations when we post your pet on our websites for you.Local Photography Firm Donates August Sitting Fee Proceeds to FPSCraig Duffy, owner of Highlights Photography in Springdale, AR.

Bring Your Dog to Work Day at Tyson Foods Benefiting FPSTyson Foods is having a "Bring Your Dog to Work Day" on Friday June 26th from 4-6 pm.

We will have four of our foster dogs at the event and FPS volunteers will be there to hand out information and help get the dogs adopted. FPS should make a little money, hopefully get some new volunteers, and place some foster dogs in loving forever homes... what else can we ask for? Thanks Tyson Foods!The Collar Store is Now OpenDon't have time to volunteer, but still want to help the pets? Wnat to help your pet show their spirit with a Razorbacks collar?
