Adopt, Not Shop

The North Little Rock Animal Shelter provides many services to North Little Rock residents. Adoption of pets is the most popular. Adoption of pets during the Pandemic drastically increased across the country and also in North Little Rock. The North Little Rock Animal Shelter was one of only a few shelters in Central Arkansas to remain open during the Pandemic and provided adoptions for 312 dogs and 235 cats. By the end of August, our animal shelter had already placed 341 dogs and 157 cats in homes for adoption. The cost to adopt from the North Little Rock Animal Shelter is $60 for dogs and $40 for cats. David Miles, Director of the North Little Rock Animal Shelter shared, “Remember: ADOPT, NOT SHOP!”

The North Little Rock Animal Shelter is open Monday–Friday, 8:30 am–5:00 pm and Saturdays, 12:00–4:00 pm. The office is closed for lunch between 12:00–12:30 pm daily. Adoption hours: Monday–Friday, 12:30–5:00 pm. For more information on adopting a pet, contact the North Little Rock Animal Shelter at 501-791-8577.
