Story
Hello! Willow is a 50/50 Great Dane & Newfoundland mix, who just turned 1 year old. DNA tested. We took her in to get her out of a not great situation with a previous family, where she was being left outside, not fed enough and left alone for extremely long hours throughout the day. Willow is a great dog and is hoping to find her forever home. Her ideal situation will be with a more experienced owner who has prior experience with large breeds. She will need someone patient, kind, supportive and who can give her consistent direction to help her to continue growing into a lovely adult dog. She has had training and has been house-trained, but does have some general separation anxiety due to her previous living situation, which manifests with her pacing around the house and needing some extra playtime to help her relax. She is great with kids, great with other dogs (but know given her breeds and size, tends to like to play a little rough as they do). We can provide more info if considered.

Story
Rosie is an 80 pound gentle giant American pitbull terrier. She has been with our family with four children for three years. She is a family dog who loves people and children. Rosie is house trained and command trained, however she is very dog reactive despite having been to formal training and continues to become aggressive to other dogs on walks. So a home with no other pets would fit her best. As well as a home with a fenced back yard so that walking her doesn’t have to be an option. We would love for her to stay local so the kids could maybe visit her here and there because we are heart broken. Rosie deserves a home where she is loved, cared for and number one with people who have patience, and a backyard for her to get outside. She has some allergies which are under control and can be further discussed upon inquiries.

Story
URGENTLY NEEDS A HOME…Mars is a very good dog and dog friendly. His shots are up to date , he is house trained and good with other dogs. He knows commands such as sit, wait, stay, up up , and give me paw. He loves cuddles and sleeping next to you. Mars comes from a loving home. He goes to the vet and get his check ups and eat Blue Buffalo hard food, soft food and treats. I’ve had Mars since he was 2 months old. I am going through a divorce and with new living conditions I cannot keep Mars, he deserves more. I have to be sure he is going to a great home filled with love and a backyard where he could run and play his favorite game fetch. Mars is fast and loves having the zoomies. Having kids is a plus because he loves to play. I’m not charging a fee for Mars , all I want is a good home for him.

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 and small 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 super calm and very sweet, he will make a good companion. He would require a fence in the backyard to have space to run. If you are interested in Ezekiel, he is in Central Arkansas. He will come to you neuter and up to date on his shots. Transport is available for him through a transport company we use for a fee plus his adoption fee. If you are interested in Ezekiel, please apply at www.arkansaschihuaharescue.org

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! Transport is available for a fee from the transport company.
