My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

8/27/17- Oreo has graduated from the Paws in Prison Program and is ready to find her forever home!

8/2/17 - Oreo passed her Canine Good Citizenship Exam!

6/12/17 - My name is Mrs Oreo

My name is Mrs. Oreo, like the cookie or a Guernsey milk cow. My pictures make me look much larger than I actually am but I am considered a large sweet dog at 67 pounds. I am only 2 years old. I have been with my foster mum Elaine and she saw a lot of potential for me in the Paws in Prison program. Ms. Elaine loves to talk dogs and the prison program which is saving these dogs from certain death.. She is always available with an approved application to let you meet the dogs in the program or if you are long distance to send additional pictures and converse with you. I was tested and accepted. I will finish sometime in July of 2017. I am with my trainer 24/7 learning basic obedience skills such as housetraining, sit, stay, come, lay, and other skills not mentioned. I have a diary kept of my progress and moods if any are noted in the book which is yours when you adopt me. Thanks for considering a pretty girl such as me. My breed mix may contain lab and border collie and a little love bug.

Oreo would like to be the only dog in her home.

We are proud to announce that this pup has been accepted into the Arkansas Department of Correction’s Paws in Prison Program. The program is a partnership with animal shelters and rescue groups. Selected inmates, under the guidance of professional dog trainers, work with rescue dogs, teaching them basic obedience skills and properly socializing the animals.

Canine applicants to the program undergo testing to ensure that they are a good candidate and, once accepted, remain in the program for 6-8 weeks. Graduates from the Paws in Prison Program will be provided with their training notebook which contains information about their skills, commands and progress through the program.

The adoption fee of $350 includes age-appropriate vaccines, initial de-worming, spay/neuter surgery, microchip, USDA interstate health certificate (for transport only) and transport fee. Please go to our site for general information and the adoption application. fordogssakerescue.org. The application is the first step in all adoptions/inquiries. This is not a link; please type in into a new browser window. At this time, we are unable to adopt to Rhode Island residents. Please note: Pups marked “pending” are adopted but not yet traveled home. They are to be considered unavailable. Thank you. Additional information is available on our site fordogssakerescue.org.
