The Humane Society of North Central Arkansas maintained its no-kill status in 2024, according to Best Friends Animal Society’s annual shelter data report.
To achieve no-kill status, shelters must reach a 90 percent or higher save rate for animals in their care. The national benchmark accounts for the approximately 10 percent of animals with severe medical or behavioral issues that may require humane euthanasia.
Shelter manger, Carolyn Carter says, “We are very proud to maintain this status year after year. However, we would not have been able to even start this movement without the support of our amazing community.”
Carter credited donors, volunteers, adopters and local veterinarians for helping the shelter remain operational during challenging periods.
The shelters efforts include community outreach through volunteer events, as well as collaboration with local rescues, animal control and veterinary clinics, according to a statement from the organization.
