My story

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

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.



11/26/25 Stardust needs to find an adopter asap!! Please share!! Her foster parents’ dog just passed away and they are really struggling emotionally and need time to grieve. Not only that, Stardust has been available since April. Far too long. Please, please share. She deserves a home of her own. ‼️

Stardust is a stunning girl with glorious ears and long legs. While she looks big, she’s only 40-45 pounds. She just turned 1 year old.
She is crate trained and has had zero accidents in her foster home! Her potty break schedule has been very consistent and she seems to have house trained herself based on this. Clever girl!
Stardust has medium energy. She gets excited at new things and scenarios but then settles down. She's currently enjoying her foster's fenced in backyard and burns off plenty of energy galloping around, sniffing, patrolling for squirrels, and playing with her foster siblings. She also loves chew toys. She isn't overly demanding in her needs: a nice romp outside, a play session, and some engaging Kongs and hooves and she's very satisfied. Add in some obedience training and lots of love and she'll be perfectly fulfilled!
She is both affection-motivated and food-motivated! She's discovered couch cuddles and seems to love being hugged as well. Stardust is overjoyed at each meal she gets and wags her tail the whole time she's eating. She's definitely a candidate for a slow feeder, her food is gone in the blink of an eye.
Stardust is still young and is learning how to control her long legs and sometimes smacks her foster sibling when playing, although she otherwise is very considerate with other dogs! She will occasionally very gently mouth hands when she wants to play with people, but she responds to 'no,' and is very easily redirected. Stardust is learning about walking on a leash and thinks it's great fun. It doesn't occur to her that she could go potty on a walk, she seems to think she can only do that off-leash in her foster's backyard. She's gotten used to living indoors and getting basic household manners and she's doing really well. She LOVES the neighbor's children and kisses them thru the fence!
Stardust is a great dog. She wants love, and she's eager to please and do a good job! She's going to make a fantastic pet for someone!
We do not know her breed, likely a mix of many breeds.
She is spayed, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

More about this rescue

Adopt-A-Stray was founded in Jan. 2010, by Kelley Prichard. Since then, it has grown to include a few wonderful volunteers who work very hard to help ensure that our pets are place in loving, forever homes. We are based in Alexander, AR, but we list all of our available pets in the northeast. We work with several different transporters to get our babies to their new homes in the northeast once they are adopted. The transporter we use most often Pack Leaders (www.plrdogtransport.com). All pets are given age appropriate vaccinations before they leave. Every pet is seen by our vet prior to transport. If you see a pet listed that interests you, please be sure to read the description thoroughly and inquire to the email address listed. Thank you for considering a rescue dog!
