After adopting out 437 animals in 2020, Good Shepherd Humane Society has plans to create new programs to help local animals in 2021.
Cole Wakefield, director of animal operations, said hes working to create a community cat program. The program would be focused in Eureka Springs, Wakefield said, but would expand throughout Carroll County with the goal of building a cat support community. Wakefield said a group of volunteers will help save cats through the trap-and-release program, where feral cats are caught, spayed or neutered and released back into their environment.

The Good Shepherd Humane Society Thrift Store in Eureka Springs has temporarily changed the days its open to the public, but the Berryville store is still open Tuesday through Saturday and accepting new volunteers.
Thrift store manager Janet Chupp said the Eureka Springs store is temporarily closing on Wednesday and Thursday, staying open Friday through Saturday. Thats because of the resurgence of COVID-19, Chupp said. Cole Wakefield, director of animal services, said most of the volunteers in Eureka Springs are elderly, putting them at high risk if they contract the virus.
