Adoption Event a Huge Success
Seventy-nine animals found new forever homes on Saturday, September 22, at the Little
Rock Animal Services' adoption event. The central Arkansas community showed a great
amount of support for the animals in need, with many donating money and needed supplies
to the shelter.
In addition to their support throughout the week bathing and grooming the dogs,
PetsMart will donate $10 for each adoption Saturday, Sep. 22.
This event was a great opportunity for the community to see the new, state-of-the-art
facilty, and learn more about the great animals available every day of the year.
Without the help of our volunteers, none of this would have been possible.
