West Memphis Animal Services is committed to serving the people and animals of West Memphis, Arkansas.

To promote the health, safety, and welfare of citizens and animals of the City of West Memphis by responsibility and humanely enforcing state and local animal related laws.

To provide a safe, temporary shelter for lost, abandoned, abused and injured animals. To ensure a vigorous adoption program to help find animals a forever home. To educate the public about responsible pet ownership, as well as city and state laws and to participate in public service activites.

We try very hard to place as many adoptable animals into new homes or with rescue groups but remember we do have to euthanize sometimes and that is based on temperament, health, age and sometimes space available at the shelter.

We will work diligently with rescue groups and are very rescue friendly.
