Story
Janice is one of those girls who just loves her people and wants to be right there with them. She may need a little time to feel completely comfortable, but give her a couple of days, a few tasty hot dogs, and a little patience—and you'll see what a wonderful girl she really is! Once Janice knows she’s safe, she is an absolute good girl. She knows her commands and can heel, sit, lie down, and come when called. She even has the sweetest habit of sitting right on your feet while she waits patiently for you to finish whatever you’re doing and tell her, “Let’s go!” Janice is good with kids and other dogs and is ready for a family who will include her in the fun. Whether that means backyard games, exploring the neighborhood, or heading out on new adventures, Janice is happy as long as she gets to be with her people. She’s smart, affectionate, loyal, and ready to give her forever family all the love she’s been saving up. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will happily follow you wherever you go, Janice is waiting for you! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
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. 9/26/26 Remember Ingrid, the pup who was literally begging to be saved back in July? Well she’s still waiting for a home. PLEASE SHARE! See videos in comments of her begging to be saved. Recently some wonderful volunteers took her on a field trip-to the spa, the drive through, and to the park. She loved it all…except the Mediterranean food at the drive lol not her taste All her info: Her story: Meet Ingrid! This adorable sweet girl with the super cute under bite is looking for a family who will never abandon her again. Ingrid was found on the street the weekend of the 4th of July. In 20+ years of rescue, I have never seen a dog who wanted to be rescued so bad. She was literally trying to jump in the window of the car. When the person who found her tried to drive away, Ingrid stood in the road crying and howling - literally BEGGING for help. Thankfully, these kind people did help. They opened the car door and she hopped right in. She has been safe in a foster home since then but is ready for a family of her own. She deserves it. We don't know how long she was on the street. But we believe it was at least a few days. For the 1st 2 days she was in her foster home, all she did was sleep. She was completely exhausted. I wonder how many people she begged to rescue her, before someone finally helped her (thank you Kim and others who helped). Breed & personality: We don't know Ingrid's breed, but my guess is boxer mix. With the under bite, that seems to be a possibility. Of course there could be 100 other breeds mixed in as well. There's no telling. What we do know is that Ingrid is full of love. She has a good energy level - plenty energetic enough to play and have fun, but she knows how to chill out and cuddle too. She is great with kids and is indifferent towards other non aggressive dogs. She would probably enjoy playing with another dog with similar energy. Age & size: Ingrid is about 2 years old and roughly 45 lbs. She is an excellent car rider, and she is crate trained. Ingrid is located in Arkansas. She can be adopted locally, but transport is available to the New England area as well. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in MD, PA, NJ, or CT on Saturdays. To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059  email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

Story
Meet Mandi ❤️ Mandi was failed by the humans who were supposed to care for her. She was found living under a car for shelter. Thankfully, that’s not where her story ends. Mandi is now safe in a foster home, learning from the other dogs and absolutely loving her new life. She’s sweet, happy, adventurous, and loves being included with her people. Mandi would thrive with an active family who wants a dog to truly be part of the family—walks, car rides, adventures, couch time… all of it. ❤️ She’s ready for the life she deserved all along. 📍 Meet Mandi in Jackson, TN 🚐 Transport available for an additional fee 🐾 Consider Mandi. Your new best friend may be waiting.
