Saving pets in Arkansas
The Best Friends Pet Resource Center is a place for pets — and the people who love them — in the heart of Bentonville, Arkansas.
The new center is a place where the community can adopt a new best friend, find a pet to foster, and come together to save the lives of dogs and cats in Northwest Arkansas and beyond.
Celebrating a year of lifesaving
All donations to the Best Friends Pet Resource Center made through June 8 (Best Friends Day!) will be matched by Post Consumer Brands up to $100,000 to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the center’s grand opening.

Adopt to save cats and dogs in Northwest Arkansas
When you adopt a dog or cat, you’re not only saving a life, but you’re also freeing up space and resources for pets in shelters throughout Arkansas.
Welcome to the future of animal sheltering
We’re ushering in a new era of lifesaving at Best Friends Pet Resource Center in Northwest Arkansas.
This is a place where families can find loving, adoptable cats and dogs along with any help they might need to keep their pets happy and healthy.
The pet resource center is a first-of-its-kind, fully reimagined facility that upends the traditional model of animal shelters and introduces a compassionate new standard focused on saving lives. Its design and operation reflect an understanding that our animal companions are an integral part of our families and our communities.
