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.

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.
We’re here for you and for the entire community
Find your new best friend, vaccinate your dog or cat, find the pet supplies you need, and do so much more at the pet resource center!
