About the Village
The Little Rock Animal Village (LRAV) encompasses and houses Little Rock Animal Services. However, the Village is more than Animal Services, and it’s much more than your average shelter. They have a learning center for volunteers with regularly scheduled classes to promote animal welfare and public safety. In addition, LRAV has a fully staffed veterinary clinic that cares for the thousands of animals that they take in every year. The Village is a beautiful adoption center, with five large play yards for dogs, and an army of dedicated staff and volunteers.
Friends of the Animal Village is not an animal shelter. We are a separate, volunteer-run organization that provides supplemental support to the Little Rock Animal Village.
For questions about animals at the shelter, adoption, fostering, or stray animals, please call the Animal Village at (501) 376-3067, or pay them a visit at 4500 Kramer Street, Little Rock, AR 72204.
LRAV's Mission
Construction of the Village, its programs, promotions, and events were all put in place to serve the purposes of increasing adoptions of healthy well-adjusted animals and creating better lives for the animals in our community, all while promoting public safety. The Village boasts an incredible army of dedicated staff, volunteers, and fosters who share a common goal of saving animals’ lives and facilitating as many adoptions as is humanly possible. We constantly look for ways to improve and to build awareness about LRAV. Click here for more information about Little Rock Animal Services.

 Adoption Fairy TailsIn May 2013, this great family adopted a heart worm-positive dog with patches of missing hair. A year later, they made plans to bring him back to see us. It's amazing what love can do for pups like this one. These folks looked past all of the problems and found their perfect family dog. We are very proud to show this one off! |
