Story
**🐾 Loving Dog & 3 Sweet Puppies Need a New Home (Bella & Her Babies)** FREE TO A GOOD HOME – Bella & 3 Puppies We’re helping our neighbor find loving homes for Bella, a very gentle mama dog, and her three puppies (2 girls and 1 boy). Bella has never shown aggression. She allows us and the neighbor’s children in her kennel to play with the puppies and is always calm and friendly. When she gets loose, she comes to our door for love and attention. Our neighbor does not have the time to interact with Bella the way she deserves, and we do not want her taken to a shelter where she could be put down. Bella needs a family that will treat her with kindness and not leave her tied up or forgotten. She is too sweet for that. The puppies have been handled daily, are used to children, and are ready for safe, caring homes. Free to good homes ONLY. No re-selling or flipping. Please message if you can give Bella or a puppy a loving forever home. —A Caring Neighbor

Story
Jax is Jovie’s brother — a sweet, loyal boy who has been waiting far too long for someone to choose him. He was surrendered through no fault of his own, and like his sister, he’s had a tougher start than any dog deserves. But even after everything, Jax has stayed gentle, loving, and hopeful. This handsome guy is friendly, great with other dogs, and eager to be part of a family. He loves attention, enjoys being close to his people, and just wants a stable home where he can finally relax and feel safe. Jax has been overlooked simply because he’s been in a tough situation, but he is absolutely deserving of a second chance. With consistency, affection, and a calm place to land, he will thrive. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a heart of gold, Jax is ready to meet you. He’s waiting for the person who sees him — really sees him — and gives him the home he’s been hoping for.

Mulligan

Hound (Unknown Type) Beagle

Male, 1 yr 6 mos
NASHVILLE, AR
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Mulligan’s DNA Said he’s 1/4 Leopard Hound, 1/4 Beagle, 1/4 Boston Terrier and 1/4 Pyrenees. He’s fully grown and petite at just 35 lbs. He has had some rough experiences, and you can see it in the way he flinches and stays on edge. His fight-or-flight is always on — not because he’s aggressive, but because he’s scared. He has never shown aggression, but he cannot be in a home with kids because fast movements and loud noises overwhelm him. Once he decides you’re safe, he follows you everywhere and doesn’t like for you to leave his sight. He snuggles beside you at night. And he becomes incredibly sweet and loyal. What he does well: • Loves other dogs (they boost his confidence) • House trained • Good in public with a dog buddy • Cuddles once he bonds • Sticks close to his person What he’s still learning: • Trusting new people • Commands • Harness walking • Building confidence • Crates — he will go in a crate, but he has confinement anxiety and barks Mulligan needs a quiet, patient home with at least one confident dog. He’s not the instant-easy type, but once he trusts you, he loves deeply. If you’re someone who understands trauma dogs and wants a loyal companion who just needs time, message us to meet Mulligan. 🖤

Fern came to Nashville Animal Control dangerously malnourished, weak, and battling parasites. Her little legs were so undernourished she could barely stand. With proper vet care, vitamins, and lots of love, Fern slowly regained her strength and blossomed into a healthy, happy puppy. Today she’s fully vaccinated, spayed, and thriving — playful, sweet, and ready for a forever home. Fern is the perfect example of why SWA Paws was created: every animal deserves a chance to heal and be loved.
