Featured Pet

Sugar is a young adult small terrier mix. She is a very social little pup who likes to ride in the car and plays gently. She prefers to sleep on the bed and needs a home with owners home most of the day. She gets along with other dogs and has a trusting and sweet personality. This is the perfect lap dog and she will be adopted quickly. So, act now and make Sugar a part of your family today!

2009-11-21 Urgent Message Regarding Fostering

At 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.

2009-11-21 November FPS Meeting Scheduled

It is Volunteer Appreciation time! Our next meeting is Monday, November 30th at the Palm Noodle restaurant in Lowell (next door to the Subway on 71-B) at 5:30 PM. That's the Monday after Thanksgiving. We will skip the regular meeting in Dec due to the holidays.

2009-06-21 FPS Teams up With Wal-Mart to Feed the Pets

FPS volunteer Alice Jensen talked with a Wal-Mart manager in the Charity Department and we are among other pet charities (Lone Pine Animal Rescue, Rogers Shelter, and FPS) who have 55 gallon Rubbermaid bins at Wal-Mart's Warehouse. When pet food trucks come in, the torn bags are given to these charities and when the bin is full Alice brings the bin back to FPS President Laurie Beckman. Laurie puts the dog food into 2 gallon ziplock bags and then other volunteers (Leslie Ray, Jamie Burris and Kimberly Owens) pick it up and deliver it to our regular Best Friends clients on an on-going basis. FPS volunteer Jamie Burris delivers hers to Hillcrest Tower in downtown Fayetteville where all of the residents are seniors on low income or disabled. This is a real win-win for FPS, Wal-Mart, and FPS's Best Friends Clients. For more on the Best Friends Program, see http://for-pets-sake.org/about.php.
