What can I do to get involved with the Fayetteville Animal Shelter?

Opportunities are available for volunteers at the shelter, in the office, and at special events. We need people to walk dogs, socialize cats, and generally spread awareness about what we do. You can also become a foster parent for us. Foster parents will bring animals into their homes to care for while trying to find a forever home for that animal. This gives us more space and you get to take an active part in our adoption process. We have new volunteer orientation every other Saturday at 10 am here at our facility.

Contact the Animal Services at 479-444-3456 to find out when the next orientation will be.
