Six male dachshund-mix puppies are waiting at the Humane Society of Clark County shelter for homes and families. They are happiest when someone sits in their pen and plays with them. At other times, they entertain themselves by playing and making each other squeal or they curl up in a pile to sleep.
The puppies are 6- 8-weeks, and they will be great pets for children. Call the shelter at 245-2579 to see them or stop by the shelter from 12-4 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday.
One of the greatest needs for the humane society shelter is scoopable cat litter. The litter is one of the most expensive items needed every day for the care of the cats and kittens. Litter that is not marked “scoopable” is rarely reusable, and is, therefore, more expensive in the long run.
Donations of all kinds of things are always welcome at the shelter. They include: Bedding, towels, dry dog and cat food, newspaper, money and especially scoopable litter. Monetary donations may be made in memory of friends and family members who have cared for animals or in memory of one’s beloved pet. Send donations to: Humane Society of Clark County, 627 Walnut St., Arkadelphia 71923.
The shelter has lots of cats and kittens
The 70 or so cats at the shelter include long-haired, short-haired and all colors. A few have been declawed, and all are old enough for immediate adoption. All of the cats will be either spayed or neutered, have had their shots and have been wormed. To find just the right cat or kitten for your family, call 245-2579 for more information or go by the shelter at 627 Walnut St. in Arkadelphia.

The humane society needs volunteers on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Volunteers can spend as little as one hour helping to transport animals, feeding, cleaning, teaching socializing skills or assisting with fund-raising activities.
Foster homes are needed for dogs and cats, and animals may be “adopted” overnight or for a weekend.
The Humane Society of Clark County strongly encourages pet owners to spay or neuter their pets to prevent the births of unwanted animals.
