Volunteering
Volunteering is critical to the work we do serving the animals that come to Bentonville Animal Services.
​
Together, staff and volunteers ensure that animals in our care get exercise, mental stimulation, love and companionship. Below are ways our volunteers can get involved:
​
-
Dog walking
-
Cat socialization
-
Events (Yappy Hours, First Fridays, Adoption Events)
-
Adoption assistance
-
Pet photography & writing for pet bios.
-
Special projects

Fostering
We want every animal brought to us to have a chance at a long and happy life. Shelters can be stressful places for animals. Foster homes can provide a less stressful housing option that can often speed recovery, minimize behavior issues, and increase chances of adoption.
​
Below are some of the animals we occasionally will have at our shelter:
-
Bottle Babies (0-8 weeks)
-
Puppies & Kittens (8 weeks-4 months)
-
Nursing Moms with Babies
-
Healthy Adult Dogs & Cats (4+ months)
-
Medical Case Dogs & Cats
-
Senior Dogs (7+ years)
-
Senior Cats (10+ years)
