Story

This handsome and gentle guy is Morgan. He is very nervous in the shelter and wasn’t so sure about leaving his safe space in his kennel. He is sweet as can be and let us carry him outside for some fresh air after some coaxing and treats. Morgan is a 2 year old shepherd mix and weighs about 54 lbs. He is a gentle soul who loves all the snuggles, cuddles, pets, and pats he can get. He was content to sunbathe on the shelter’s lawn with us and load up on belly rubs while he got to sniff the breeze. He was also happy to soak up some love from a little boy volunteering at the Animal Village.This gentle but nervous guy needs a forever family who can help him feel secure and build confidence in his new home.If unaltered, will be scheduled for spay/neuter before leaving LRAV.

Sugarbear

Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, 3 yrs 8 mos

Conway, AR

Size

(when grown) -

Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Meet Sugarbear! She is an approximately 45 lb., 3.5 year old, hound/lab mix. Sugar was found on a roadside in rural Arkansas with another dog when she was around 18 months old. Her friend was adopted, but Sugar has remained in rescue. We are hoping that she can finally find her forever home too. Sugarbear needs a special adopter who will be willing to work with her quirky personality & high energy level. While very loving & goofy, she does exhibit some challenging behaviors, so an experienced dog owner is a must. Sugarbear enjoys playing with other similar-sized dogs, however, she is not small dog or cat friendly. Meet & greets with any potential canine housemates are a must. Sugarbear loves to run hard & play hard with her foster brother, a large dog. Although he is bigger, she generally runs circles around him! Sugar is a phenomenal walker when harnessed, but does pull when only leashed. She is very strong for her size. Sugar has a very keen sense of smell & thoroughly enjoys checking things out when on a walk. She is weary of strangers & will bark at them. When inside the house, she gets very excited & will often jump up for attention & try to “kiss” people entering the room. While Sugarbear has been with a foster since her rescue, she has not been inside the home full-time due to small animals being present. During her inside time, she enjoys chewing her toys, lounging on the couch, and getting lots of belly rubs! She is very loving & thinks she is a lap dog! Sugar loves to jump. She can get major air! Unfortunately, she will jump on counters to sniff things quite quickly (she is very scent-oriented), but she also is receptive to verbal correction & is highly food-motivated. She is completely crate-trained, house-trained, & knows how to use a doggy door. Sugar is also familiar with getting her nails trimmed regularly. She adores her groomer & gets lots of belly scratches while he does her nails. Sugar is always very happy to see her foster family & loves treats, ear rubs, & belly-scratches. She is extremely smart, but again, high-energy. A confident, seasoned dog owner who understands her needs would be the ideal adopter for Sugarbear. Her foster mom feels she would benefit from professional dog-training & would most likely be successful due to her intelligence & being so well-motivated by treats, smells, & love. ArkanPaws is willing to donate some funds towards an approved trainer/training program. While we know it will not be an easy task to find the right adopter for Sugarbear, we have hope that her person is out there. Despite her challenging behaviors, she is ultimately just a goofy, sweet girl who deserves to be loved & confident, living life in a forever home of her very own. Sugar's foster mom is available via phone to answer any questions. Thank you so much for reading about our beautiful girl! ##2666130##

Bodhi

Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Hound (Unknown Type)

Male, Puppy

Cabot, AR

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

We picked up Bodhi from the local animal shelter when he was 4 months old. Bodhi will be a year old April 1st! We are looking for a new home for Bodhi because overtime we realized that we didn’t have as much as we thought we did to really make a great home and great parents for him. He deserves someone that is going to have time to love him, train him, and give him a good life. We sadly just don’t have the capacity for it at the stage of life we are in. Bodhi loves meeting new people, and he loves playing with toys and running around outside! Bodhi is also very curious about quite literally everything! He’d be great for someone who really loves dogs and wants to see them grow and mature!
