Reigning Cats and Dogs
The Humane Society of Pulaski County will host its 20th Annual "Reigning Cats and Dogs" Friday, October 19 in downtown Little Rock. This popular fundraiser supporting our animals and honoring our friends who love them will continue to be a great night of entertainment and live and silent auction.
 | | A Sample of the Beautiful Items Available |
We invite you to join the efforts of many dedicated people committed to helping the animals at the Humane Society. Your donation of an auction item or service will go a long way to success of the evening and to the Emergency Medical Fund that provides treatment for hundreds of animals.
The Humane Society of Pulaski County receives no government funds or support. It is only through private donations and fundraising events that we are able to care for the needs of the homeless animals. Your support of this event will be greatly appreciated!

Low Cost Spay/Neuter and Vaccinations
The only way to help reduce the number of unwanted litters and the euthanasia of over 4 million dogs and cats a year (in the US alone) is through spay/neuter. Check out this wonderful program at
You can also call them at 501 455 5400.
There is NO reason not to do it. They also offer low cost vaccinations. Even if you can't afford the low prices that this organization offers, they will still work with you. Spread the word and just do it!
FuRR Awarded Petco Grant Petco Foundation has awarded FuRR a spay/neuter grant for feral and stray cats and kittens living in managed colonies or with low-income individuals unable to afford standard sterilization costs. Rabies shots will also be included. They are very excited to have received this grant that will significantly expand their spay/neuter efforts in Central Arkansas and grossly under-served areas of the state, save hundreds more lives and greatly impact the overpopulation and needless suffering. Individuals interested in applying for assistance can contact FuRR via email at saveacat@teamfurr.org or at (501) 661-0956. For more information about our friends at FuRR, please visit their website at www.teamfurr.org

Resale Booth
We have made almost $9,000 with the resale booth so far. Let's see if we can make our goal of $10,000 for this year! Thank you to Ann Jones for all your hard work making this so successful and profitable. All the homeless animals at the shelter appreciate you! Let's keep the momentum going and raise even more money.
 | | One of the items available |
If you have items you would like to donate to our booth, please email Ann at
aberjones@yahoo.com. You can drop them off at the shelter or take them to the booth (Antiques Mall on the corner of Rodney Parham and Markham). We take knick knacks, decorative items, vases, pictures, frames, kitchen and glassware, small appliances, tools, small furniture items, towels and linens, books, and up-to-date purses. By the way, you can also drop off items at any of our mobile adoption events (calendar is in this newsletter), and you can get a receipt for tax purposes. Blessing of the Animals
In honor of St. Francis Day, we will have a Blessing of the Animals at the shelter at 1pm, Thursday, October 4th. Lisa Fry, Curate at St. Mark's Episcopal Church will officiate. Volunteers are welcome to help. We have also been invited to bring some adoptables and the HEART vehicle to a Blessing of the Animals at the Argenta United Methodist Church on Sunday October 7th , at 5:30pm. Pastor Will Choate will officiate.
Please contact Christine@warmhearts.org if you can help. Thanks in advance!
Foster program
We have many animals who would love to get out of the shelter for a little while. Some are orphan babies, some are older dogs who need socialization, and some would like to recover in a nice quiet home after surgery. We pay for everything--all you supply is the time and love. Click here for information or contact Christine at clhenderson1@gmail.comSome lucky dogs and cats are permanent fosters, especially those with ongoing medical problems. We encourage people to take in these special-needs animals without having to worry about future vet bills.
A Very Special Gift!
This week, we were blessed with the gift of two brand new vehicles. The generous donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, attended our last Board meeting where we discussed our two old vehicles which were unreliable and needed a lot of work done.
He didn't like the idea of our precious cargo being transported in unsafe vehicles, so now they will ride in style and comfort. Thank you, thank you, thank you. As Kay said, "thank you" just isn't enough sometimes.
Both vehicles will be dedicated "In Honor of Eleanor."

It's lots of fun for kids and adults with opportunities to play with the dogs and cats at the shelter. There's also fun crafts and activities. We ask for a minimum donation of $100 to the shelter. We can only hold the parties on Sundays, but be sure and book in advance as these spots go quickly.
Pet of the Week
 | | Angel |
I would like to introduce you to beautiful, Angel. Angel is a Pitt Bull/Dalmatian mix, and is approximately 11-12 years old. She first came to the shelter in 2002, and was adopted to a loving family a few years ago. Unfortunately, Angels mom passed away a couple years ago so she has been living with her son ever since. Again....Unfortunately, Angels new parents living situation has changed, and they can no longer keep her ( Trust me, this was not an easy decision for them, so please don't post any judgmental comments.).. So.... I hope we can find Angel a new family to spend her remaining years with. I didn't really expect a whole lot of activity from Angel with her being up in years; boy was I wrong!! She's a very playful and spry girl who really enjoys sitting in a lap while getting a good rub down. I will tell you that Angel is deaf, but there's definitely nothing wrong with her baby blue's!! If you're looking for an easy going, loving companion, please consider giving Angel a chance..
Click on her photo for more info, or go to http://warmhearts.org/pet-finder/view.php?animal_id=64 Halloween is Almost Here..........
 and we bet your dogs can't wait to get into their costumes! Send your photos to Christine@warmhearts.org and we'll put them on our Facebook page for everyone to enjoy! Kroger Cards
There is a problem with the link that Kroger provided for signing up. I will send out a separate email as soon as we can figure out what's going on. Thank you for your patience.
