RED ALERT: Urgent Message Regarding FosteringWe 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 PetsSpringdale 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:
