Get ready for the sweetest video you have ever seen. 🥹 This is Eugene. And as you can see, he was VERY happy to see his previous foster mom when she came to pick him up at our Best Friends Pet Resource Center in Northwest Arkansas! We think Eugene's smile says it all. 🥰

Ever see an outdoor cat with the tip it's ear missing? That tiny ear-tip tells a BIG story. It often means the cat has been through a trap-neuter-vaccinate-return program. Here's why it matters 👇 @yahoolife yahoo.com/lifestyle/articles…

Did you know your pet is actually good for your health? Caring for pets has been linked to lower stress hormones and blood pressure. It also gets us moving, going outside and talking to other people. So, remember next time you're taking your dog on a walk, that IS self-care. 😁

Just a friendly reminder that you can adopt a pig from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary too. 👀🐷 Lazlo has a rockstar hairdo, an excellent little snout, and strong opinions regarding belly rubs and good lounging spots. Pretty solid priorities for a pig. bestfriends.org/sanctuary/ad…

Emily didn’t just run 171 miles. She made HISTORY! Emily Keddie became the first woman ever to win the Grand-to-Grand Ultra overall, finishing ahead of the entire field. And she did it while helping raise support for homeless pets. 🐾 We’re in awe. 🧡 sunews.net/post/keddie-makes…
