Due to Arkansas State's Spay Neuter Law, we do not perform same day adoption; unless the animal in particular has already been altered; rather an application to adopt must be filled out and then left at the front desk or by website, www.westmemphisanimalshelter.com Once a completed application has been received and an animal has been chosen, the application is reviewed by the adoption advisor and the process could take 24-48 hrs before you are contacted, please be patient.  Veterinary references are most helpful if you currently have a pet in the home or have owned one in the past, sterilization of animals already in the home are mandatory, a fence/property check must be completed , if renting, landlord will be notified so we will need a contact number to verify applicant indeed can adopt said animal.  All animals adopted from the West Memphis Animal Shelter must be sterilized according to Arkansas State Law.
