Our mission at WMAS is to promote the health, safety, and welfare of citizens and animals in the city of West Memphis. We do this by responsibly and humanely enforcing state and local animal related laws. We aim to provide a safe, temporary shelter for lost, abandoned, abused, and injured animals. We run a vigorous adoption program to help animals find a forever home. We also aim to educate the public about responsible pet ownership as well as city and state laws concerning animal welfare.
Adoption Process: View our adoptable pets or visit the shelter to choose a pet you wish to adopt. Click on the “dog application” or “cat application” tab to complete an adoption application, go to www.petango.com/wmas, or pick up an adoption application at the shelter. When you submit the application, speak to the shelter adoption coordinator about your pet needs and wishes. Spend time with the animal to ensure he/she is what you are looking for. If you already have a pet at home, discuss doing a shelter meet and greet with the adoption coordinator. Landlord and vet information will be checked out during the adoption approval process. If adopting a dog, fencing will be checked. It generally takes 72 hours for the adoption committee to review an adoption application and decide if the animal is a good fit for your family; we are looking for a forever home for our animals and want to ensure that we have a perfect fit! Our Adoption Coordinator will contact you once he has reviewed your application. All animals will be spayed or neutered prior to leaving the shelter with the exception of: Puppies or kittens under the age of 16 weeks; they must return at a later date for surgery. An animal that the veterinarian feels, due to health reasons or age, should not be altered.

We understand the new challenges faced by rescue organizations and private citizens who want to help in a climate where information of animals in need can travel much more rapidly than transports can be arranged, pull fees can be paid or medical care can be rendered.
