** CURRENTLY IN A LOVING FOSTER HOME, PLEASE SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING ME!! ** 💛🐾 MEET ARI 🐾💛 Sweet Ari… a dog who has already overcome so much, and one of the most deeply loving souls you will ever meet. When Ari first arrived, she was absolutely terrified. You couldn’t approach her, you couldn’t sit near her, the world felt too big, too scary, too unknown. But with patience, kindness, and time… everything changed. Within just a few weeks, this same scared girl was sleeping in bed, soaking up belly rubs, and learning what it truly means to feel safe and loved. 🌿 HER BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION Ari is naturally a shy, sensitive dog, but when she feels secure, her personality blooms. 💛 Playful with her dog friends 💛 Loves running freely in the yard 💛 Adores walks and outdoor adventures 💛 A total cuddle bug when it’s time to relax She has discovered joy. She has discovered comfort. And most importantly… she has discovered trust. 🐾 WHAT ARI NEEDS TO THRIVE Ari’s next home must be one that understands her heart. ✔️ A securely fenced yard is REQUIRED for her safety and confidence ✔️ Another playful, confident dog is REQUIRED, she truly blossoms with a canine companion ✔️ A quiet, low-traffic home ✔️ No children ✔️ An experienced adopter who understands fearful or shy dogs Ari bonds deeply, but she needs the space to do it on her terms. She cannot be rushed or forced, and in return, she will give you a level of loyalty that is incredibly special. 💭 A FEW THINGS TO KNOW • Fully house trained. • Does not require a crate. • Learning to enjoy car rides, will need continued positive exposure. • Not a fan of baths or nail trims (who is, honestly?). • Has allergies that are well managed with Apoquel. She may initially feel more comfortable with women, but with patience, she has shown she can build trust with men too. 💖 HER PERFECT MATCH Ari is looking for someone who understands that healing isn’t linear, and that the most meaningful bonds take time. Someone who will: • Let her come to them • Celebrate her small wins • Give her consistency, safety, and love In return? You’ll get a loyal shadow, a snuggle partner, and a dog who will choose you, fully and forever. 🌅 THE LIFE SHE DESERVES Ari deserves slow mornings, sunny afternoons in the yard, playful moments with her dog friend, and peaceful nights curled up beside her person. She’s not just looking for a home. She’s looking for her safe place. 📩 Apply to adopt Ari and be the one who gives her the second chance she’s waited for. Requirements: 1. Fenced in yard! 2. Another dog!

Story
Meet Mamacita! This amazing baby is a female Border Collie mix who was born around 7/01/20. She weighs in at 48 pounds full of love and affection. She’s current on her vaccines and is being treated for heartworms on slow kill method by The Artemis Project, who will continue to provide the medications for the duration of my treatment even if you adopt me so please don’t let that stop you! This beautiful lady has a great personality! She's gentle, a little shy, and quietly hoping for someone to notice her. She's simply looking for a home where she’ll be loved and treated like a member of the family. She’s gonna make some lucky family the bestest companion, full of love and loyalty. She is great with other dogs as well as kids... and she even gets along with cats!! Her foster family says this: "She's great! Potty trained knows commands and just all around happy. Loves to cuddle. This little girl will be your BEST buddy! Mamacita loves to be in the same room, and she will snuggle if you ask for it, but otherwise does her own thing. She LOVES to "talk" - she "talks" to the younger doggos, "talks" to the TV, and "talks" to us sometimes. She thinks cats could be a lot of fun, until they tell her NO. She has made friends with the other dogs. She has been the BEST foster we have EVER had, and she is going to make someone an AMAZING friend!" Please set up a meet and greet with Mamacita ASAP. She’s excited to find her forever home with her new loving family. That very well could be YOU so please submit an application to meet/adopt her @ https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TAP/Dog Adoption fee: $100 (fully vetted) Located in the Fort Smith AR region

Story
***Archie is in a foster home, so he is not at the kennel. If you are interested in him, please fill out an application at K9stray.com and we will be in touch. Thank you*** Did somebody say toys, Archie is in! He is estimated to be about a year old and weighs 52 pounds. Meet Archie, he is a bundle of silly joy, and a playful, curious pup who is looking for his forever family. This brave boy came to K9 with a rare skin condition that required months of medical treatment that caused some hair loss. With the care of a great veterinary team and a dedicated foster, he has recovered wonderfully, and his new hair is slowly growing back. Archie will soon be a very handsome guy (well, we of course thought he was handsome the whole time)! He is very connecting and loves to hang out with you. You can tell how smart he is by how he watches you, wanting to please. Archie is looking for an active family who can keep up with his playful nature and provide him with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. He will bring endless happiness and love to his new home with his goofy puppylike antics and cheerful disposition. He will need a home where any children are at least 8 years old. Archie would just love it if you wanted to meet him. His foster mom has so many wonderful things to say about him: Archie is a joy to have. He loves toys and tennis balls. He is all happy puppy and is working on a few more commands and being a little better on a leash. He is super smart and very correctable and loves to learn. He loves being outside, going for walks and exploring. He is crate trained & pretty much house trained. He has not been exposed to cats but gets along great with my basset hound. He enjoys being close to you and is a great boy! He has learned to love car rides also. If you are interested in Archie and are at least 21 years old, please fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

Story
Hello, I'm Carl, I am about 10 months old and weigh 37 pounds right now. I guess I'm pretty cute with all those freckles on my nose, at least that is what all the nice volunteers here at the rescue say. I'm a friendly and outgoing pup who loves nothing more than being close to my favorite people. I'm always up for a good snuggle and will happily lean into you for some extra love. I love to give lots of kisses too, so look out! I'm still working on my manners, especially when it comes to jumping up to say hello, but I'm a quick learner and just need a little guidance. Did you see my perfect sit in my pictures? I was told I was such a good boy for my photo shoot, I really want to please you. I'm also good with other dogs, I have a friendly, open approach with other dogs with an "all in" play style. I'd make a great addition to an active family who wants a loyal and loving best friend. I am basically always ready for a cuddle or an adventure, the best of both worlds! I will need a home where any children are at least 8 years old. Please come and meet me, I can't wait to grow up with a family to love. If you are interested in Carl and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying.
