The Best Mountain View, AR Dog Rescues & Shelters in 2026

Stone County Humane Society

We never put time limits on how long animals stay and we never euthanize for space reasons. Our admission policy depends on an established inventory of 25 dogs and 25 cats. This policy is managed by putting animals on a waiting list. As animals are adopted new animals are accepted from the waiting list. We provide routine care and treatment for all animals and treat extraordinary medical/surgical issues on a case by case basis.

SCHS History Stone County Humane Society, Inc. is a 501 (c)3 organization created in 1999 to find homes for stray, abandoned dogs and cats. After three years, the need for a permanent shelter building became very apparent and fundraising began. Land for a building was donated in 2006. We operated with the help of foster homes for several years. In 2012 we constructed 11 outdoor kennels and 3 isolation pens. Our Cat Cottage was completed in 2013. With the help of a generous donor and money we had raised over several years, construction of the 3,500 sf shelter building began in 2015. In September 2016 the SCHS shelter building was opened.
