Story
Hi, my name is Ezekiel. I am a Terrier/Schnauzer mix. I am super smart and willing to learn. I am crate, housetrain and leash train. I get along great with cats, small and big dogs. I would love a fence in the backyard to run and play with my toys. I can also keep you company if you want to watch a movie on the couch or go for a coffee break and you can get me a puppy latte, or I can walk with you on trails. I am just a big teddy bear. This boy is so very sweet and gentle dog but because he is a larger active puppy, still growing we require that this dog have a fenced yard. If you are interested in Ezekiel, he is in Central Arkansas. He will come to you neuter and up to date on his shots. If you are interested in meeting Ezekiel in person, please apply at www.arkansaschihuahuarescue.org fill out an application and let’s meet.

Story
Ester is a sweet, silly, and love bug that is looking for her wonderful forever family! This girl is a very affectionate dog who adores belly rubs, and lots of snuggles on the couch. She loves to play and will proudly parade with her toys around the house to get your attention. She loves to chase a tennis ball or play tug of war all day. She redirects easily and just wants to play all the time. Ester can be a bit shy at first, but she will adjust to you with time and lots of cuddles. She walks well on a leash. Because Ester is an active breed puppy that requires a fenced yard. This girl enjoys the company of other dogs and would do well with proper introductions. She also would likely do well in a home with a dog-savvy cat. She has not been tested around children. Ester quickly gets the hang of family life and settles into a home and a routine well. Ester is both crate and house-trained and her leash skills are coming along great – she’ll need her new humans to keep up this training with her. Ester is quick to learn, and does best with a patient, consistent approach. Ester is the perfect fit for a family looking for a dog who will always be up for fun and who will love her unconditionally! If you are interested in applying for Ester, please go to www.arkansaschihuahuarescue and fill out an application to meet Ester. This puppy is in CENTRAL ARKANSAS!

Hi, my name is Everleigh. I am a very calm laid-back dog, but I do like to play and run and enjoy my foster siblings. I walk well on a leash, am crate train and house train.

Everyone that meets me cannot get over how beautiful my eyes are. You will be surprised if we get to meet.

Story
Chance is a happy, playful boy who is dedicated to his people, loves a game of fetch and playing with other dogs. He walks well on a leash around the neighborhood where he loves to sniff and enjoy the fresh air. He adores spending time in a fenced backyard as he runs to chase the tennis ball. He knows his basic commands. He is a smart boy who learns very quickly. Chance would do well in just about any kind of setting. He is shy at first but once he warms up, he is just a wonderful boy. He has been fostered with multiple bigger and smaller dogs and does great with all of them. He plays nicely and takes cues from them. Chance is still a puppy with puppy energy so he will require exercise. Chance has not been around kids and, but we feel he will do fine once he warms up. Chance is crate train and is working on house training. Chance is neutered and up to date with his shots and HW negative. He is ready for his own family to love. He has a sponsor making his adoption fee waived we will still need you to fill out an application for Chance to be adopted to an approved rescue home.

Story
HashbrownPitbull Terrier4 years/MaleIntake date: October 14, 202222-D464If we got to re-name Hashbrown we would name him Goodest because he is the goodest boy ever. He’s been at the shelter since October 14, 2022, (521 days) and that’s such a long time to be without a home. He most likely gets overlooked because he is very quiet, doesn’t bark, he isn’t one to say “Hey! tail wag, tail wag, jump, jump look at me!”. He has manners, sits patiently when you go into his kennel for any reason and keeps it very clean. Hashbrown is a 4 yr old Pit Bull Terrier and is neutered, current on all vaccinations, HW negative and is microchipped. He will need to go to a home with a secure six-foot fence and no cats, small animals, or birds. He would do best with female dogs and would need to do a meet ‘n greet at the shelter before going home. If you are looking for the goodest boy ever, come by the shelter and meet Hashbrown. If you are interested in meeting him, the shelter is open Monday-Friday, Noon-7:00pm and Saturday, Noon-4:00pm. Let’s help find this sweet boy his forever home.
