Join the Little Rock Zoo this fall for our Beloved Pet Ofrenda, a heartfelt tribute honoring the memory of our cherished animal companions. Inspired by the Día de Muertos tradition, this vibrant community altar celebrates our animal companions of all kinds—furry, feathered, and scaled.

Bring a photo of your beloved pet and add to the altar anytime during Zoo hours. On Saturdays and Sundays, our Learning & Engagement team will be on hand to assist guests in co-creating the altar.

This is our second year hosting the Beloved Pet Ofrenda, inspired by a partnership between the L.A. Zoo and Plaza de La Raza, a community art school serving historically excluded groups. Their folklorist artist and local families co-created an altar celebrating this important cultural tradition. Now, we’re proud to bring this meaningful experience to Little Rock.

For 30 years, Arkansas Sheriffs’ Youth Ranches (ASYR) has recognized Arkansans who have made outstanding contributions to create better opportunities for Arkansas children. These Arkansans personify in word and deed the ideals of the Ranch, and hundreds gather each year to pay tribute to their dedication at the Arkansas Children’s Award Dinner. This year, ASYR is excited to present the 30th annual Arkansas Children’s Award to Rush Harding, a generous advocate for building hopeful futures for Arkansas youth. Since the Sheriffs of Arkansas founded the Youth Ranches in 1976, it has been a place to call home for more than 2,300 of Arkansas’s most vulnerable boys and girls. As an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, ASYR is 100% privately funded, and this event helps raise 10% of the ASYR’s operating budget each year.
