Story
Hi! My name is Victor! The shelter is my current home, but I'm looking for something a little more permanent. I've grown up here and even though I am comfortable with my shelter family, I may be a little shy with new people. After a few days to get used to my new surroundings, I'll blossom into the fun loving dog I am. I like to run and play with my siblings and I always like to greet you with a smile. If you are interested in opening up your heart and home to a shelter dog in need, I could be the one!

Story
Hi! I'm Dane, your future best friend. My days are filled with play and cuddles. I'm always ready for a game or a quiet evening by your side. My previous owner moved and left me to fend for myself, but luckily I was found and brought to the shelter where they are going to help me find my forever home. The shelter even treated my heartworms! I dream of a home where I can share all my love (and I have so much to give) and playful energy. Adopting me means endless fun and companionship. Let's start our adventure together!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Macy’s Marvelous Four — Pure Joy and Puppy Charm These four little ones are growing up wrapped in the kind of love every puppy deserves. Their mama, Macy, is a small to medium girl (30 lbs at most), and she is one of the sweetest, quietest, most gentle souls you’ll ever meet. She dotes on her babies with her whole heart — calm, patient, tidy as can be — and her nurturing spirit shows in her puppies. Because they’ve grown up with Macy’s steady love and their favorite two-legged jungle gym (that’s you ), these pups are incredibly socialized, confident, and happy. They’ve never known fear, only safety. They trust people, adore affection, and are learning that life is a wonderful adventure. Full-grown size will depend on who daddy was, but they may end up close to Macy’s size. What we can guarantee is this:   They’ll be loving. They’ll be joyful. They’ll be wonderful family companions. These babies will fit beautifully into almost any home — playful, affectionate, eager to bond, and ready to become someone’s heart for life. Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans. We try to post videos for each pet so you can really get to know them. If you would like to find out more please email or call Diane at... diane@ulpr.org or 870-577-3744.   Please email us at diane@ulpr.org and request an application. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 6, 2025, 1:04 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet This Sweet Litter of Puppies   These puppies were rescued from an overcrowded shelter that didn’t have the resources to care for them. They arrived without their mother and needed a safe place to land — and now they’re thriving in foster care.   Each puppy is confident, playful, and incredibly loving. They are healthy both physically and emotionally, showing trust, curiosity, and joy as they grow. Their energy level is moderate — they enjoy playtime but are not overly hyper — making them a wonderful fit for many different homes and lifestyles.   We expect them to be medium to possibly large dogs when full grown, though their size and breed mix are our best guess since we don’t know who mom or dad were. What we do know is that these pups are affectionate, people-oriented, and will make devoted companions for their future families.   If this picture caught your eye and made you stop to look a little closer, we’d love to hear from you. We’re always trying to find thoughtful ways to help our puppies stand out among the many others waiting for homes.   Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans. If you would like to find out more please email or call Diane at...diane@ulpr.org or 870-577-3744.   Please email us at  diane@ulpr.org  and request an application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 11, 2025, 5:05 pm
