Many have no room to adopt or foster our numerous pound puppies, but they still want to help. Here are a few ways you can support our efforts to keep these dogs healthy and find them the best homes available.
Donations
The Humane Society of South East Arkansas is desperately in need of funding to provide medical attention to all of the dogs that we rescue. Your generous monetary donations help us provide vaccinations, spays and neuters, treatments for diseases like Mange, Parvo, and Heartworms, and emergency medical funding for Humane Society dogs that are found with serious injuries. The Humane Society works soley with donated money and often times members that foster dogs pay for vet expenses completely out of pocket. Please help in any way you can so that we can continue rescuing and treating southern Arkansas' homeless dogs.
You can send donations to:

Foster Care
When the city pound is becoming too crowded, dogs that have been there the longest are euthanized. These dogs are not killed because they are sick, aggressive, or unworthy of a home. They are simply killed due to space. We can help ease the burden of our city's pound by fostering the dogs until they find permanent homes. You can foster one dog at a time, two, or any number you see fit upon the Humane Society's agreement. Do you think you could offer a safe, warm, and loving go-between for our pound puppies? If so, please email Mandy Moss at [email protected] with "Re: Fostering" in the subject line. You will not be responcible for finding homes for the dogs. Your only job is to simply help us by providing a temporary home.
Adopt Instead of Buy
If everyone that wanted a dog adopted a rescue dog, rather than spent much more money on a designer pure bred, our pound problems would be greatly diminished, if not completely extinguished. Each dog that is bred for profit exacerbates our current problem. Please, consider adoption as your first choice when it comes to adding a new addition to your family. Many will tell you that rescue dogs tend to be the best companion animals that you can ever find. Appreciative of a home, hungry for love and affection, and completely loyal to the one that saved him, a rescued dog has endless amounts of joy to give to any owner.
Spay and Neuter
The majority of dogs we get in the pound are not spayed or neutered, and many are stray puppies that came from unwanted litters from unspayed females. Many feel they cannot afford to spay or neuter, but with grant money from the Bob Barker Foundation, the Humane Society can help! Please call Ruby Burton at (870)367-3377 for information on how you can get low cost spays and neuters for your dogs.
