Get ready, Bentonville! Best Friends Animal Society’s Super Adoption is coming to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art on October 11 and 12!
Super Adoption is the biggest pet adoption event in NW Arkansas, featuring more than 350 dogs and cats from shelters and rescues across the region, all looking for loving homes and families just like yours.
The event takes place on the beautiful grounds of Crystal Bridges and in the Crystal Bridges Plaza parking garage from 10 am to 3 pm Saturday and Sunday, October 11 and 12. Adoptable cats will be located on the parking garage’s spacious second floor mezzanine, while adoptable dogs will be showcased in tents along the North Forest Trail. More than 15 area shelters and rescues will be there, and all adoption fees, for all pets from all participating shelters and rescues, will be covered by Best Friends all weekend!
A festival of fun and lifesaving
Even if you are not looking for a new pet to add to your family, Super Adoption has plenty to offer. Fi Collars will be offering a free microchip clinic throughout the event, and vendor booths from more than 30 local artisans and small businesses will be offering their goods and services along the trail. You can also expect interactive, family-friendly activities like face painting and DIY bandana decoration, plus some delicious food. So don’t miss this fun-filled, wholesome festival of lifesaving!

Parking is available in the Plaza parking garage. The North Forest Trail is paved with some areas of moderate slope. It is a 10- to 15-minute walk to the dog adoption area from the garage. Golf cart shuttles will be running from the parking garage.
Your leashed dogs are welcome. We ask that you not use retractable leashes, due to the large number of dogs that will be in the area.
