My story

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

Elmer is a 7-8 year old Mixed Breed dog, weighing 70 pounds. He leashes and walks well. He loves squeaky toys and playing chase. He knows “sit” and “drop it.” He is friendly, sweet, and gentle. He is friendly with other dogs but is dominant. He has tested well with cats. He is healthy and heartworm negative. He will be microchipped at the time of adoption. Elmer would do best to go to a home with a fenced in yard or to a large SAFE property where he can get the exercise he needs.

More about this shelter

A BRIEF HISTORY

The Humane Society of Searcy (HSS) is an
organization that was founded in 1991 by a small group of dedicated animal lovers. The group's primary goal was the establishment of a local animal shelter, and they began an intensive fund raising campaign.

Joining forces with City of Searcy, their efforts were rewarded the following year: in November 1992, ground was broken for Shelter construction.

Since then the HSS has operated the Searcy Animal Shelter in partnership with the City of Searcy. The HSS provides caretakers and oversees the care, treatment and placement of the animals. The city provides maintenance of the building and grounds and support for a portion of the operational costs. The HSS works closely with the Searcy Police Department and Animal Control to take in the lost and abandoned animals of Searcy and to return them to their rightful owners.

In 2006 the Barkin’ Barn thrift store was opened to help with fundraising as more funds were needed for the increasing number of animals coming into the shelter. Special fundraising events held over the last several years have provided for an outside kennel structure, an exercise/adoption yard, and a small surgery room. As of June of 2011, all animals are spayed or neutered as part of the adoption process. The number of adoptions has steadily increased over the years and is on pace to set a new record in 2013 with close to 800 adoptions for the year as well as 350 animals returned to their owners.

The HSS appreciates the support and guidance of the City of Searcy, Mayors office, City Council, and Searcy Police Department.
