Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – Dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and sizes are available through area animal rescues and shelters, as well as opportunities to help homeless animals through foster programs, donations, and help with fundraisers and other family-friendly activities.

JRN has partnered with area animal shelters to present “Pets of the Week.” We will feature a handful of animals each week. If interested in adopting or volunteering with the Northeast Arkansas Humane Society, go to neahs.org.

Meet Hephaestus: Hephaestus is a 1-year-old, domestic shorthair male cat. He’s tricolor, and he’s been in the shelter for two weeks. Hephaestus is up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and he’s playful and friendly, so ready for his furever home!

Meet Sharon: Sharon is a 9-month-old female who came into the shelter five weeks ago with her brother, Ozzy. She’s around 33 lbs. and so will be a medium-sized mix fully grown. Sharon is heartworm negative and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. She’s energetic and affectionate, and she loves other dogs and people!
