Special Dog Needs a Special Home: "Donya" is a purebred Belgian Malinois who came to the states from Holland seeking adventure! After a career as a police dog, and a close shave with cancer, she is ready to settle down some and looking for her retirement home to enjoy a few more golden years. She is very intelligent and eager to please. If you have a securely fenced yard and plenty of tennis balls and the time and space to toss them every day, Donya would be the happiest girl in the world!
With proper placement, Donya's adoption fee will be sponsored so please contact the shelter if you would like to meet her.
If you've got a ball, Donya says,"Let's PLAY!"

We Have Canines, Too: With all this talk about the cat crisis we don't want you to forget that Ark-Valley Humane Society always has a selection of wonderful dogs and puppies available for adoption as well. We now have extended hours of operation for your convenience, so if you're looking for a hiking companion or loyal "couch potato," consider adding one of these pups to your family today!
