Want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Fort Smith community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to place pets with families.

Across Arkansas, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many of them are located not too far from you. In the search for an adorable new fur child, consider looking around at a local adoption center like Kitties And Kanines Shelter, where Aneada the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren’t sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in permanent homes.

If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a dog person, you might like Ace, a Terrier up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
