My story

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

If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick then Joey will fill the bill. Joey loves to play with other dogs, but he’d rather be right by your side if given the option. This gorgeous tricolor male, was listed as a collie at the shelter. He is too small to be a rough collie and doesn’t look or act like a border collie. We think he looks and acts more like a cross between an Australian Sheperd and an English Sheperd, both of which are very intelligent breeds. Joey is full of energy and will definitely need a fenced yard. He walks well on a leash, even though he pulls a bit and he rides well in a car. He is a little thin at 35 pounds and should probably weigh between 40 and 45 pounds. Joey was picked up as a stray and is 3-5 years old according to our vet. Joey has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on vaccinations. Unfortunately, Joey tested heartworm positive so he has been started on the doxycycline protocol which is the “slow kill” method to eliminate his heartworms. His adoption donation is $450 which includes the $165 transport fee. Joey is being fostered in Arkansas. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers.
After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Go meet their pets

We are a volunteer-based program. Most of our dogs come from the heavily overpopulated southern states, usually from Arkansas. We use Alpha Dog Transport to get your new family member home to you. They are wonderful, and we would not trust anyone else with our babies

More about this rescue

We dedicated and passionate about helping the underdog that has been tossed aside for whatever reason. Once we take a new pet into our group, we take them for complete vetting before we list them as available for adoption. We try to match each of our pets to the perfect home, and the perfect home to one of our dogs. We do not adopt our pups on a first come first serve basis.

You can find a copy of that application here.
Our goal is to place our kids in loving responsible homes for life. Just because you are not selected for the pet you apply for, does not mean that you do not have a great home to offer to a rescue. We want the entire family to be a perfect match for a happily ever after story.

Our adoption fees vary from dog to dog. All the dogs in our care are supported only by donations. All the adoption donations we collect are spent in full on the care of the animals in our group, such as food, vetting, and heartworm preventative, flea and tick preventative, and any other medicine that might be required by the vet.

These dogs are not inexpensive to rescue but they are our passion, we will do all we can do give them a happy ending to a very sad beginning. We love our dogs and no matter what happens in the future if you cannot care for them, we do want them to come home to us., 10 days or 10 years, it does not matter. We are honest and supportive; we will be here if you need us.
