My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

JAC #53767 - AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

This is Gatsby. He's about 4 years old and weighs around 55lbs. He is everyone's favorite middle-aged man here.

Gatsby is a laid back boy with an adventurous streak. He would make a good farm dog as long as he got to cuddle with you at night. He may do fine in an apartment *if* you are active. He would not be a happy dog to be cooped up all the time. He needs some adventure time to keep him sane! Being out in nature and sniffing around is his form of self care.

We are not sure whether Gatsby gets along with other dogs or not, so bring yours along with you when you decide to meet him!

If you are interested in adoption, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire here: https://form.jotform.com/241585083280053 and Kayleigh, our Adoption Coordinator, will speak with you soon!

*Please note that this is not an adoption application, just something that helps us get to know you better!

Our adoption fee is $125 for dogs and puppies. We offer a microchip for an extra $10 and a heartworm test(for age appropriate dogs) for an extra $5.

More about this shelter

At Jonesboro Animal Services we enforce, educate, protect, and assist both the people of Jonesboro and the animal residents too. By enforcing animal-related laws and educating the public about animal care and welfare issues, we protect both the health and safety of humans and animals alike.

The Animal Services Department investigates all reports of animal cruelty, animal attacks, and bite reports. At our animal shelter we care for stray, abused, and surrendered animals. Most of our animals get adopted to new homes. By working both here at home and with animal rescue operations across the country, we find new homes for most of the animals we take in. Come visit us soon. Your new "fur-ever" friend is waiting for you at our shelter!

We love to talk about what we do:

We have many kinds of instructional and educational programs for all ages. We will be happy to come to your school, civic club, church group, or any other group and bring some of our friends!

Studies have shown that just spending some time with an animal friend can lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and relieve depression. Many of us have certified our own pets to go to nursing homes, retirement homes, and hospitals to help residents and patients have a better day.

We partner with Northeast Arkansans for Animals (NAFA) to offer low-cost vaccination clinics, and low-cost cat neuter clinics. We also offer free training and socialization classes for you and your pet. ’Like’ us on Facebook and keep up-to-date on all our activities!
