NEA Humane Society
Our Mission
Founded in 1971, the Northeast Arkansas Humane Society is dedicated to securing loving, forever homes for surrendered or abandoned animals across NEA. We strive to be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves, ensuring every pet receives the care and compassion they deserve.
Why We Are Here
For over five decades, we have remained committed to providing food, shelter, and comfort to animals in need. We believe that our facility serves as a vital bridge, connecting vulnerable pets with the open-hearted families who will cherish them for a lifetime.
How We Operate
As a 501c non-profit, we rely on the generous support of our community, including dedicated volunteers and foster homes, to maintain our operations. Our facility provides a safe transition for cats and dogs, while our robust foster program allows us to extend our reach to accommodate more animals, including new litters and those needing special attention.
The Joy of Adoption
Choosing to adopt is one of the most noble and rewarding ways to become a pet parent. We prioritize thoughtful matching, holding applications for a period of time to ensure that every placement is in the best interest of the animal. Our goal is to create joyful, permanent partnerships that enrich both the life of the pet and your family.
Join Our Village
We invite you to be part of our mission by exploring our available cats and dogs through our website or by visiting us at our Jonesboro location. Whether you are ready to adopt, interested in fostering, or wish to support us through donations and volunteering, your involvement truly helps us help them. Call us today at (870) 932-5185 to learn how you can make a difference in a local animal's life.
