"Unless someone like you cares an awful lot, nothings going to get better, its not" Dr Seuss.... We transport, when needed, to the Lester C. FAQs
1. a. e. b. a.ii. c.
(9)

WHO WE ARE: Friends of Prairie Grove Pound is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), dedicated and growing group of volunteers and fosters who are committed to the homeless animals in our community. We well-check, vaccinate, microchip and spay or neuter all pets adopted from the City of Prairie Grove Pound. We are committed to making improvements to the pound in order to make the animals' stay more comfortable

until they are fostered or adopted. WHAT WE DO: Friends of Prairie Grove Pound provides supplemental services to the City of Prairie Grove for the City Pound. We are an incorporated non-profit group that provides volunteer maintenance, operational and fundraising services that support the City Pound. While we do team with other groups for special events and projects, our primary focus is to assist with daily pound facility operations, care for the impounded animals, re-home adopt-able animals and raise funds that will allow the City of Prairie Grove to further grow and improve the animal services offered to residents. Howick Animal Shelter of Washington County and pre-approved out of state rescues. DONATIONS: The costs of vetting and transporting are funded through our group by fundraisers and private donations. (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick.) Every penny goes to help us help our homeless pets find a way to their furever homes! OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

* Provide food, shelter and medical care for the displaced animals.
*Reunite lost and missing pets with rightful owners.
* Facilitate adoption of unwanted, abused and neglected animals into loving, permanent homes.
* Provide education on responsible pet ownership and compliance of local ordinances and state statutes relating to animals.
* Promote programs that strengthen the human-animal bond to reduce the number of animals surrendered to overcrowded shelters. What donated items does the pound need most? Kitty litter (Clumping kind works best)
b. Wet cat food (The kind with the smaller portions is better. Not so much left over so less flies)
c. Wet dog food (Not really a necessity but it's nice to give the long term residents a treat now & then)
d. Dog and cat treats, especially things like hard chewies that keep animals occupied for a while. Dry cat food
f. Pet-safe fly spray
g. General cleaning supplies like paper towels, garbage bags, the occasional container of laundry soap, Arm & Hammer deodorant powder, etc.

3. Where can I get my pet micro-chipped? Low-cost option for residents within Prairie Grove city limits – contact Prairie Grove Police Department, (479) 846-3270, to take advantage of $12 micro-chipping
b. Most veterinary offices provide this service for a fee. Friends Organization/Services Questions
1. What info do I need to provide for a lost pet to be posted on this site? Recent photo
b. Pet Breed
c. Pet Name
d. Last location pet was seen
e. Contact phone number
f. Any additional info that would be helpful in finding pet

2. Do you post adoptable pets that aren’t impounded by the City of Prairie Grove? We are a support system for the City Pound. Therefore, we only post pets that are adoptable through the City of Prairie Grove on our page. Exception: If you adopted your pet from the City of Prairie Grove Pound and are no longer able to keep the animal, we will assist in networking your pet for rehoming. Please contact us via FaceBook private message or at [email protected] for more information.

3. Can you give me any guidance on getting my pet adopted to a new home? Reduce cost of adoption as much as possible for the new owner
a.i. If your pet hasn’t been spayed or neutered, have it altered. See #11 for low-cost spay/neuter info. Make sure pet is up-to-date on vaccinations
a.iii. Microchip pet
b. Post your pet on your FaceBook page and include all pertinent adoption information. Ask your friends to share the post. Be sure that the privacy setting for your photo and the post are set to “Public;” this ensures the photo and post can be viewed by others after it has been shared by your friends. Post your pet on Craig’s List – Be sure to ask for a small rehoming fee. Bad things can happen to pets who are adopted out for free
d. Create an adoption flyer with a few photos and post it at work, church and/or anywhere else you frequent. Be sure to include a contact phone number. If possible, do a “home-check” with any potential adopter to ensure the pet is being placed in a good environment. Never do a home-check at a stranger’s house alone. Bring a friend, make sure someone else knows the address where you both of you are going and when you are supposed to return. Take your cell phone inside the home with you. f. If the potential adopters already have a pet, ask them for their veterinarian’s name. Contact the vet and request a “vet check” on the adopter’s existing pets. The vet’s staff member should be able to advise you whether or not the family’s current pets are up-to-date on vaccinations. This information will give you an idea as to how well your pet will be taken care of by the new family. Note that some people do give vaccinations to their pets themselves.

4. How do I relinquish a cat or dog? Residents within Prairie Grove City limits, contact Prairie Grove Police Department - (479) 846-3270. Relinquish fee is $40, which covers vetting fees. Most of our pets are placed in foster homes and adopted relatively quickly. Residents in Washington County, contact Washington County Animal Shelter - (479) 695-3450

5. What is your group’s policy on endorsing politicians, petitions & legislation? Our organization does not endorse any politicians or promote any petitions. This group’s support of any animal services-related legislation will be reviewed by the Board on a case-by-case basis. Our primary goal is supporting the City of Prairie Grove Pound facilities, operations and animals. http://friendsofpgp.wix.com/fofpgp

Poor Sam. He really wants to go home. We can’t believe nobody is interested in this BIG teddy bear of a guy.

Sam is just the best and a volunteer favorite. Sam is a big fella weighing in at 110 pounds of pure love and joy. This dog has so much to offer. He is good with other dogs, kids and housebroken. He’s calm and excellent on a leash. He just wants to be loved. He’s the kind of guy you could take anywhere. Sam is a Great Pyrenees mix with a great disposition and he really wants to go home. Sam is 3 years old, neutered and current on vaccines.

Won’t you please share!? If you would like to meet Sam, please contact Jim at 479 387 8547🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾.

Meet Mango!!! 😻😻😻

This precious soul was found terrified hiding under one of our volunteers cars. He has been in a foster home getting lots of socializing and TLC. This sweet boy has come a long way and we believe he’s ready to meet his people. Mango is a typical kitten but can still a little spooked and can be slightly jumpy sometimes. His ideal home would be with another kitty that would accept him and play with him, older children, calm dogs and he must be indoor only. He has been in a foster home with two adult kitties and two dogs that have graciously accepted him and helped him on his way to be a great kitty. Mango is 12 weeks old, neutered and vaccinated.

Do you think you’re the home for Mango? Please contact his foster at 479 595 4233

Oh my goodness! The weather could NOT have been more wonderful for this year’s Soggy Doggy.

We were a little frightened that attendance would be down because of the County Fair but…….(drumroll please) we had the 2nd highest attendance since we started this event 9 years ago!!! And, we only missed tying/beating that record by just a few dogs!

We absolutely can not thank our fabulous sponsors and vendor’s enough….. (I will make a separate post calling them out separately later). We are awed by the support we receive from these generous people/companies each and every year.

A HUGE thank you to ALL those volunteers who gave us their time … we depend on you and you never let us down…🐾❤️🐾

Kira REALLY wants to go home. Our sweet Kira is experiencing kennel stress and we would love to find her forever people soon or someone willing to foster her until she is adopted. Kira is an AMAZING girl. She loves every dog she meets is good with kids and likely kitties. She’s an active girl and would make an excellent family dog.

What a great way to end the week with this WONDERFUL adoption update.
