His name was Ozzie. He was taken to boarding until a foster home became available to wish away the memories that scared and scarred him. Within a week, a lady came to pick him up. Ozzie saw the lady and tried to hide in a corner of the boarding facility. The lady took a step closer and Ozzie pooped his pants! (Okay, Ozzie didn't have pants on and it hit the floor. But, we don't want to embarrass him about being naked in public.) The lady spent a long time sitting near him and talking to him before Ozzie would crawl onto her lap. The lady took Ozzie home with her.  Ozzie was given his own room with a crate to sleep in. It had a warm fluffy bed. The lady placed him in the crate to adjust to the sounds of the house. Ozzie had never been more scared in his life. Whenever the lady tried to put a leash on his collar he would try to scare her away with snarls and barks, but she wouldn't give up. For 2 weeks the lady would dangle a slip lead through the crate and loop it around him before she could put his leash on.   The foster lady had discovered that Ozzie was afraid to have anyone be near his head. Ozzie started to realize that no matter how much he showed his fears, this foster lady wouldn't give up on trying to love him. His foster mom started leaving his crate and bedroom door open. One night he peeked into her bedroom and saw her with two other dogs on her bed. They were playing and licking her face...and she laughed and seemed to like it. Ozzie snuck closer and closer...until he was up on the bed at the bottom, watching as the other dogs moved closer to foster mom and cuddled up to sleep! Foster mom pretended not to notice as Ozzie crept closer and closer...until he came up to her and cuddled too! This went on for several nights. Finally, Ozzie decided that he wasn't so afraid of foster mom and he was going to give her a kiss on the face like the other dogs did. Foster mom was filled with joy. This kiss meant more than any wet puppy kiss she ever had. The scared and broken-hearted chihuahua had turned a corner and found someone he could trust and care for!As the days and weeks turned into months, Ozzie started to try playing with the other dogs.  He would sit on foster mom's lap, drink her iced tea and coffee when she wasn't paying attention, and start going up to other members of the household for petting. Ozzie learned nobody was going to hurt his head and all the humans respected his wish to allow him to give kisses first and not reach for his head or put their face in his without first being asked to by him. Life for Ozzie was the best he could remember.Then, one day, foster mom brought home a pup. The pup's name was Dink. Dink was a very energetic and playful puppy. Ozzie wasn't sure why, but foster mom decided to introduce him to Dink in the play yard...just the two of them! Ozzie heard foster mom tell someone she was so happy to finally see him play like a young dog should. Ozzie continued to play with Dink. They ran and ran in the green grass until they were both tired and thirsty. Ozzie thinks he heard foster mom say she hopes he finds a furever home now that his fears have lessened. Ozzie now has joy and hope in his heart that he will soon find another patient and understanding home of humans that he could make as happy as foster mom!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please fill out an adoption application: Adoption application (Dog) Adoption Application (Cat)   Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5.

My name's Bass Drum. I come from a not so great situation where I was stuck in a house with over 70 dogs!Because of my situation, I'm looking for an adult only home who can help me to trust and learn to be a normal dog. I am scared of new situations and take time to warm up. Once I do though I am very sweet.I would do okay with other animals as long as they're respectful of my space as well.---Our facility is open daily from 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM for meet and greet appointments, which are highly recommended. If you are interested in meeting an animal please contact us via email at Lancaster@pspca.org to learn more about our adoption process and to set a meet and greet appointment.

My name's Tuba.

I am scared of new situations and take time to warm up. Once I do though I am very sweet.I would do okay with another dog that could show me the ropes on how to be a normal dog. It will take time though, so I'm looking for a committed family. ---Our facility is open daily from 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM for meet and greet appointments, which are highly recommended.

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.4/23/23 Still available. 4/16/23 Still available. He’s making good progress, still shy but coming around! Please don’t overlook this little guy. A little update from his foster mom- He is crate trained, house trained, dog friendly, and cat friendly! About 2-4 years old is our estimate. He is a great little pup. He will need patience though. He still has fear of men. And may be very fearful upon entry into a new home. He will need lots of patience. He’s very insecure, but learning slowly. But he sleeps with me follows me everywhere and just loves me. He is a good little dog! 3/23/ 23 Meet Aerosmith! This little guy will need a special home. He is part of a group of dogs that were taken in from a hoarder situation that was beyond horrific. All of these dogs are incredibly shy and scared. However, after only a week in their foster homes, they are coming around. They will each require adopters who are very patient and calm around them, while they adjust and learn that they are safe. These babies would not be candidates for families with young children or homes that are super busy/loud. Aerosmith is probably around 4 years old and weighs 15 lbs. He is a chihuahua mix. Aerosmith has made great progress in the past week. We have noticed that he is much more confident when he has another confident dog to mentor him. Preference will be given to adopters who have at least 1 other dog who is kind and welcoming. Aerosmith wants to be loved, he just isn't quite there yet, but he's making great strides in the right direction! House trained and crate trained. Good with cats. Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations.

Journey wants to be loved, he just isn't quite there yet, but he's making great strides in the right direction! He is very quiet in his crate, never makes a sound, but does have some accidents in his crate. This is probably more my fault than his, as I have more dogs than I can handle and don't get him out quickly enough. But when he goes out, he does potty outside.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Tori and I live a very active lifestyle because I am only about 1 year old and 9 pounds. I love running around and staying in shape! You give me a fenced in yard, and I will turn into my personal race track! But that’s not to say I can’t take it slow, when it’s nap time I have no problems curling up with my favorite toy and sleeping. I enjoy making friends with everyone, though I’ve been told I come on a little strong because of my big personality, and love for playing. So long as we take it slow at first we’ll be friends in no time! I don’t mind wearing a harness or a leash,, but a fenced yard is what i need to get my zoomies in. I m still learning about potty-training, see I was taught to only go on peepads when I was a pup and it's been hard adjusting to going outside, especially when it's cold and rainy. I enjoy riding in a car, either on your lap or in a booster seat to enjoy looking out the window to watch the world go by. I do well with my furry kitty and doggie siblings, and I love all kinds of people, especially if you start our relationship off with some treats! I’m a social butterfly, always wanting to be with friends and wanting to meet new ones! I love being active and zooming around, but I also know when it’s time curl up on the couch and watch tv. I’m a little dog with a big and bubbly personality! If you think your the person for me please put in an application today! I can’t wait to meet you! To adopt Torie, please complete an adoption application at peacelovepoms.rescuegroups.org The $350 adoption donation includes core vaccines (Rabies, Parvo/Distemper, and Bordatella), Accuplex (Heart worm and Lyme test), fecal, bloodwork, microchip, spay, and all the love you can handle!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 5, 2023, 2:06 pm
