Jonesboro, AR – Jonesboro Right Now – Finding a new best friend often starts right in our own backyard, and bringing a rescue pet into your home brings unmatched reward.
Each week, Jonesboro Right Now teams up with the Northeast Arkansas Humane Society (NEAHS) to feature local pets available for adoption.
In this week’s spotlight, we have the young and playful Vinnie and the shy cuddle bug Chrissy, both just waiting to find furever home. Here are the Jonesboro Right Now Pets of the Week:
Vinnie: Young and Playful

Vinnie is an eight-week-old, male tabby domestic short hair. He came to the shelter two weeks ago with his littermates, Vonda and Veronica, who also still need a home.
Vinnie is up to date, healthy, and will be microchipped and neutered upon adoption. He’s playful, curious, and adorable, so someone’s definitely going to want him!

Chrissy: The Shy Cuddle Bug

Chrissy is a little over two years old, female, and has been in the shelter for eight months. She’s up to date on vaccines and preventatives, has been spayed and microchipped, and though she’s heartworm positive, she’s undergoing treatment.
Chrissy is a medium-sized mix who loves people and is very sweet. She’s a little shy at first, but once she gets to know someone, she’s the biggest cuddle bug we’ve ever seen!
