Story
Please contact Jeff Tarpley (JEFFnTEXARKANA@aol.com) for more information about this pet.Wishbone and Wanda are the cutest little bonded pair out there. Wishbone is a red piebald Dachshund (or mix). He is about 3 years old and he weighs 15 pounds. Wanda is a female mix breed. She is about 5 years old and she weighs 14 pounds. Both are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, tested heartworm negative and on heartworm preventive. They are ready for adoption. Wishbone and Wanda found themselves at a shelter in central Arkansas after their owner passed away. Upon coming to our rescue it was immediately apparent they are a bonded pair. Wishbone was protective of Wanda in the shelter but very loving right away with his rescue family. Wanda was scared and withdrawn at the shelter but opened up and relaxed quickly once in a home. They have been such a fun pair. Wanda had skin issues and hair loss that made her at first look like an older dog, but with some meds, Bravecto and skin sensitive food she has filled out her weight and has grown/is growing hair in all the affected places. Wanda is turning out to be a pretty little gal with an expressive face. Wishbone, healthy from the first, likes to explore and walks better on a leash (Wanda tends to pull). Wishbone and Wanda kennel together at night. They’ve never had a crate or potty accident. Wanda and Wishbone are never far apart. Both are affectionate and love to be cuddlers and couch buddies with their people. They deserve a great home and have plenty to offer in return. Adoption fee is $300.

Story
Jimmy is a male white with tan/yellow rat terrier mixed breed. He is 5 years old and he weighs 32 pounds. Jimmy is neutered and vaccinated including rabies. Jimmy is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Jimmy is ready for adoption. Jimmy originally was adopted 5 years ago as a puppy. He was Jimmy Stewart from the Hollywood litter. Through family changes he ended up in a home with two larger dogs which the family determined wasn’t a good fit for Jimmy, so he was returned to us. Jimmy was happy as an only dog and is used to living in a family with adults and children. He seems fine with other dogs, but he is unsure about them on first meeting and needs time to develop a friendship. He responds differently to each dog personality and we are sure there are plenty of dogs he would like, but he doesn’t need them to be halls in a home. Jimmy pulls a little in the leash but is pretty walkable. He doesn’t love the kennel but he is fine when kenneled. Jimmy is house trained. We know Jimmy was taken care of and went to the same vet clinic yearly during his five years after adoption. Jimmy’s overall personality is a little reserved and shy, but once he trusts you he gives kisses and enjoys cuddles and a good scratch all over. Jimmy is a good size, right on the borderline of small and medium, so he fits inside the home easily without being underfoot all the time. Jimmy needs a person or a family that will give him a minute to acclimate to the new surroundings but will engage with him and talk to him as he learns to relax and feel safe. Jimmy does know his name. Adoption fee is $125.

Story
Annie is a female tan with white mix breed. She is 2 years old and she weighs 36 pounds. Annie is spayed and vaccinated including rabies. Annie is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Annie is ready for adoption. Annie is people and dog friendly, and only mildly curious about the cat. Annie was owner surrendered (through no fault of Annie’s) by the person who has had her since she was 10 weeks old so she is pretty unsure what has happened, but even with being nervous and unsure she has been sweet. Annie doesn’t know her own strength and needs any other dogs to get her size or larger and robust for play. Annie is potty and kennel trained. She pulls mightily on a leash and is spooked by cars driving by. Annie knows her name, knows sit, and could learn so much more. We think Annie would do best with a fenced back yard for her and a friend to play in. Adoption fee is $150.

Story
Angel is a female gray with white Chihuahua. She is 8 years old and she weighs 13 (a little chunky) pounds. Angel is spayed and vaccinated including rabies. Angel is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Angel is ready for adoption. (NOTE: Angel’s white hair is normal hair, her gray areas are skin with wispy patchy pair, leading us to think she might have Chinese crested mixed in.) Angel is special to us. She originally came to us 5 years ago with another dog from the same home when their owner couldn’t live on her own anymore. She was not socialized and wanted to hide. Angel was eventually settled into a foster home with a senior citizen with a couple of other dogs, a doggie door, and a couch she commandeered as her own personal bed. Angel liked to be on her own a lot, but socialized a bit with the people she encountered regularly. She barked at whomever she didn’t know. Angel tolerates other dogs but doesn’t buddy up or cuddle. Eventually Angel’s foster mom adopted her, so Angel got to keep her couch. She did great with the doggie door and caused no problems in her home. She would show little signs of affection to her mom. Unfortunately this summer Angel’s mom passed away. Angel had to come back to the main rescue location and she was injured (long story we will be glad to share with applicants). With a lot of special handling while she was recovering, Angel has finally shown us her softer, more affectionate side. We know her quirks, but in general Angel is no trouble to live with, she is potty trained, and she requires time to develop trust and love with a new person. Adoption fee is $150.

Story
Zoey (nickname ZoZo) is a female black with white shih tzu or similar mix. She is 5.5 months old (as of 11/11/24) and she weighs 11 pounds. Zoey is vaccinated including rabies. She was recently spayed and had two cherry eyes repaired (gland of inner eye protruding). Zoey is ready for adoption. ZoZo is an adorable, cuddly little girl. She and her sister Elise came to us from a local shelter. They had worms and hair loss but have responded well to treatment. ZoZo is a little shy but social and friendly. She has a sweet happy nature and loves to do zoomies. Zoey plays with other dogs and with toys. She likes chew toys. Zoey does not understand her crate as somewhere she shouldn’t potty, so traditional potty training hasn’t worked. She is currently using a mix of potty pad and outdoors for potty. A person home with her most of the time could be the key to polishing up her training. ZoZo might do well in a home with a doggie door always available, or in a setting where she can get frequent short leash walks. ZoZo would be happy as an only dog if her person is mostly home or takes her along. Adoption fee is $350.
