So you're looking for a new pet? Well, you're looking in the right place! Here at the Paragould Dog Pound, we have a lot of great dogs. The only hard part is picking which one(s) you want to take home!

All adoptions from our shelter will include:

• Spay or Neuter
  
• Rabies vaccination
  

When considering adoption, it is important to consider the type of dog that would best fit your family and lifestyle.

The following are some things that we feel you should take into consideration before you adopt a dog. These issues are not meant to discourage you, but to prepare you and help your pet receive the best home it deserves.

• Will someone be able to care for the animal at all times? Even during unexpected hours?
  
• Will you be able to provide loving affection to your pet? Dogs are sociable by nature and they deserve the same treatment in return.
• Can you provide a proper environment for your pet? A good warm and dry structure to live in and the proper fencing to ensure that the animal will stay on your property?
• Can you afford the food, entertainment, medical care and other special needs that your pet will require?
