Reigning Cats and Dogs
We still need volunteers to work as table monitors!! Please contact Debbie@warmhearts.org or 454-4865
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.
 One of the beautiful pieces of original artwork 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!

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.
If you would like to have your birthday party at the shelter, contact Sharon at l_e_may2003@yahoo.com
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.

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
