Animal Services kicks off 'Season of Thankfulness'

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Starting Friday, Nov. 1, Fayetteville Animal Services is kicking off a month-long celebration to honor our amazing community of pet lovers. Throughout November, it will offer the following ways for residents to engage with, and help, the City's animal shelter:

Nov. 1-22 - The shelter will celebrate its third annual "Kongsgiving." The community is asked to help prepare a special Thanksgiving treat for our shelter dogs and cats. Donations of canned chicken, plain canned pumpkin, pet-friendly broth and spray cheese are needed to fill Kong pet toys, which will then be frozen and handed out as a Thanksgiving treat.

Nov. 23-30 - During the week of the Thanksgiving holiday, Animal Services is seeking short-term fosters for dogs, which can be picked up starting Saturday, Nov. 23, and returned Saturday, Nov. 30.

Anyone interested in fostering during the holiday week can fill out the simple adoption application form online and note they are interested in fostering for the question, "What pet/pets are you interested in?" (People are encouraged to apply to foster by Thursday, Nov. 21.) Adoption fees will be waived for any short-term foster that elects to adopt their foster-pup!

Animal Services (1640 S. Armstrong Ave.) is open 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturdays. To learn more about the quick and easy adoption process - and see photos of pets available for adoption - go to: https://www.fayetteville-ar.gov/petadoption.
