Story
Lexa walked through our door about three months ago. She was fixed at SPCA in July of 2025. We think she's about 1-2 years old. Lexa got along with the rest of the pack right away. The neighborhood kids and my grandson love her. She tends to nip when she's excited and jump. Lexa is house broken. She will let you know when it's time for a walk, if you're home. Lexa does walk on a leash and pulls a lot. Lexa really loves to snuggle! Anywhere and anytime. She seems to have had some training. She knows hand signals well and also listens to verbal commands.

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.  3/7/26 Mr. Carl Bones!  Key points- Boxer mix. Cat, dog, and kid friendly! House trained, crate trained, leash trained. Do you need a friend to watch dog TikToks with? Mr. Carl Bones is your guy! He enjoys watching dog videos on TikTok. His favorites are Princess Poppy and Dozer’s World. This sweet, 8 mo old boxer mix was found as a stray, starving to death and in pitiful shape, when he was just a baby. It took a while to get him healthy enough to complete his vetting. He was severely anemic from fleas, ticks, and worms, so we had to handle that first, and get some weight on him, before he could be neutered. Thanks to a very kind and committed foster mama, he is now healthy, happy, well socialized, and fully vetted. Carl is house trained, crate trained, leash trained, and he loves other dogs, cats, and chickens. He loves all humans, including kids. He is just a fabulous pup, and as a bonus, he has the cutest little under bite imaginable! We believe he is a Boxer mix but probably wont be as large as a full boxer. He is currently about 30 lbs at 7 months old, so he may top out at 40-50 lbs. From Carl’s foster mom: He always looks at me like he is waiting for me to talk to him. Willing to do anything I say. He knows sit and stay, down, shake. I usually do it in sign language to him because I am on the phone alot. He also knows the words morning snacks, daytime snacks and night time snacks. Mr Bones loves his snacks and loves to play. He is a medium-high energy pup. He plays great with the other dogs in the house and thinks he is the same size as the other dogs that are easily 2-3 times his size. He does seem to be teething but has not been chewing anything but dog toys. Don’t miss out on this beautiful, well behaved, sweet boy!

If you ever listened to flowing water, you know the beauty of the sound and then experience the refreshing nature of it through touch. All around it is a joyful experience. Now focus in on the lovely nature of River and his brother Brook. They embody the carefree nature of water with lots of tail wagging and adorable puppy antics. They are boxer mix pups at around 4 and a half months old. With their free-flowing spirit, they are geared up to bring joy, love and laughter into the hearts of their forever families. River is a happily-go-lucky boy that easily makes friends. He does well with other dogs and children of all ages. He relishes lots of attention and has a spunky puppy energy that many will delight in. He has not had the opportunity to meet a cat so at this point, we do not know how he would relate to having a feline companion. Although we do know that he will be a ball of fun, energy and love. He is working hard on learning his house, leash and crate training. He is taking baby steps in the process and knows his family will be there for him every step of the way,As with all puppies, River is full of curiosity and wonderment and is ready to grow from adorable puppy to an amazing dog with the right guidance and patience. He will need a home with someone who has the time, desire and energy to train and socialize him so that he can become the perfect lifelong companion.Let the love of River flow into your heart and be like a duck takes to water and fill out an application today!* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for River is $500.

Story
Meet Clyde, a handsome 10-month-old Boxer mix who weighs around 35 lbs. This good boy has a heart as big as his bounce! He’s healthy, happy, and bursting with playful puppy energy. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion who will happily join you for adventures and then curl up for snuggles afterward, this is your boy! Before coming into rescue, Clyde and his sister Bonnie survived on their own for several months and experienced severe starvation and neglect. Because of that, they developed some food-related resource guarding - but, only towards other dogs, never people. He is completely comfortable with people of all ages around his food and toys. You can hand-feed him treats, add food to his bowl or take it away from him completely, even while he’s eating, and pick up his toys without any issue at all. He has miraculously always been gentle and very trusting with people.  His only concern is making sure that other dogs don’t take his food, especially his sister. We think they found themselves in situations where they had to fight over every piece of food they could find, just to survive. Since being rescued, he has been in a foster home with several other dogs who have similar backgrounds and they have found that he does wonderfully when fed in his own crate. Having his own safe, quiet space to eat allows him to relax and enjoy his meals without worry. Outside of mealtimes, he is a typical older puppy and is happy to play, explore, and lounge around with all other dogs and his people.  He is very resilient, loving, and highly intelligent, ready for a fresh start with a family who understands that a little structure at mealtime helps him feel secure. He’s going to make an incredible companion, all he needs now is a forever home where he’ll always know he’s loved and safe - and will never be hungry again. Clyde is neutered, fully vetted, heartworm negative and microchipped. Our pups come with one month of free pet insurance when you adopt. If you’re interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at https:// packleadersrescue.com/adoption-application/
