Story
MEET BITSY Bitsy is a spunky little sweetheart with a big personality in a tiny package. She loves to play, zoom around the house or yard, and then curl up for a nap in the coziest spot she can find. She’s silly, curious, and always up for an adventure, whether that’s exploring new corners of the room or tossing her toys in the air. Bitsy would be thrilled to have another friendly dog in the home to keep her company, though it isn’t required if her people are around most of the time. What she needs most is a loving, patient family who won’t leave her alone for long and will give her the chance to continue growing into her confident, happy self. If you’re interested in meeting Bitsy, please visit www.aarflove.org to review our adoption process and submit an application. Rescue dogs thrive with patience, structure, and love — and in return, they’ll give you a lifetime of quiet loyalty and gratitude. Please note: We receive many wonderful applications and may not be able to respond to everyone. If we feel you might be a match, we’ll reach out directly. Thank you for supporting rescue!

Story
Meet ARES Don’t let the warrior name fool you—Ares is a total softie at heart! He’s goofy, affectionate, and always ready for a snuggle after a good round of play. Ares loves people and other dogs, and he’s happiest when he’s right in the middle of the action. Like his brothers, Ares would do best in a home with another small dog to keep him company and help him burn off all that puppy energy. He’s pure love in a tiny package! Ares has tiny sharp teeth, so very small children would not be a good fit - we call them love bites, but still would not be good for the very young! He has a long list of "loves": everyone he meets, food, toys, and especially fluffy blankets! If you're ready to add this sweet boy to your family, visit www.aarflove.org to review our adoption process and submit an application. Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and lots of love—and in return, you’ll enjoy a lifetime of tail wags, kisses, and joyful memories. Please note: We receive many wonderful applications and unfortunately cannot respond to everyone. If we believe you're a potential match, we will reach out directly. Thank you for understanding and for supporting rescue!
