About Clark County, AR

My mom has been the treasurer for several years with the Humane Society of Clark County located in Arkadelphia, AR. "Arkadoo" is a small town with the population of 10,000.

Her and the local volunteers have donated many hours bathing animals, changing litter boxes, etc. to maintain their operation to save animals. (They are a no kill shelter.) She and others will drive out of state to pick up animals from kill shelters before they are destroyed and stand outside PetSmart 2 hours away from her home in hopes of getting these animals adopted. She has obtained several grants but they could only be used to have the animals spayed/neutered and the funds have been used. (Not to buy food, litter, etc.)

They collect the animals that the homeowners leave behind and try to find them homes. I know in Las Vegas I personally have been to homes that have had abandoned pets left behind. It's heart breaking to find these guys and if you are an animal lover like me (wonder where I get it) it pains me to wonder if the pet will end up adopted or taken to a shelter that can't afford to keep the animal for more than a week.

With the current state of the economy, donations are WAY DOWN and the HSCC is barely scrapping by. If you have extra office supplies, old blankets / towels, gift cards in your wallet that sit there, etc., please consider boxingn up the items and donating to my mom's organization or one near you. I am sure these shelters are getting a lot of abandoned animals and need the help now more than ever.
