NEA Humane Society
Our Mission
The Northeast Arkansas Humane Society is dedicated to securing loving, permanent homes for every cat and dog that comes into our care. We believe in providing a safe transition filled with comfort, food, and the compassion every animal deserves.
Our History and Community
Founded in 1971, we have spent decades serving the animals and people of Northeast Arkansas. As a 501c non-profit organization, we exist to give a voice to surrendered and abandoned pets, ensuring they receive the help they need through the support of our dedicated volunteers and the open hearts of our neighbors.
How We Care
Operating from our facility on East Highland Drive in Jonesboro, we prioritize the health and well-being of our residents. Our mission is bolstered by a vital foster network, allowing us to extend our capacity and provide temporary, loving environments for animals until they are ready to find their forever families.
Your Partner in Adoption
We believe that adoption is a noble act of partnership, and our thoughtful matching process ensures that every placement is in the best interest of both the pet and your family. By requiring an application and a private meet and greet, we create the space for a meaningful connection to bloom, setting the stage for a successful and lasting transition.
Get Involved
If you are ready to add a new member to your family, we invite you to explore our available dogs and cats online or reach out to us at (870) 932-5185. Whether you choose to adopt, volunteer, or support our mission through donations, you are helping us continue our vital work for the animals of NEA. We look forward to meeting you and helping you find your perfect companion.
