Story
My name is Theo, I’m a happy guy who lives for the simple things. If you have a fluffy toy, I will gladly show you my "surgical skills" by pulling all the stuffing out for you! I also think snowstorms are the best thing ever—there’s nothing like doing zoomies in a fresh drift. If it’s not snowing weather, you can usually find me swimming; I’m a total water dog at heart. And when the day is done? I am a professional-level snuggler. Recently, my Mommy had a human baby. I love my family so much, but having a tiny human around makes me anxious. I get way too excited, and because I’m a bouncy guy, I can be a little too rough without meaning to be. It’s been stressful for all of us, and my parents want me to be in a home where I can truly relax and be myself. This is the hardest decision my Mommy & Daddy have had to make so they would love to find a family that wouldn’t mind staying in touch once in a while. A photo or an update here or there would mean the world to them.

Story
After being fostered for nearly a year and undergoing slow-kill treatment for heartworms, I’m pleased to announce that Apple is now heartworm negative and available for adoption! She weighs under 25 pounds, is potty trained, crate trained, and does know some commands. In addition to many positive traits, she’s also the most loving and affectionate little girl. Makes the perfect little lap dog.  She loves kids and gets along great with cats!  Apple is fully vetted: spayed, up to date on annual vaccines, and heartworm negative! She appears to have terrier and Chihuahua in her. As much as she loves people, she’s very dog selective and is nervous around big dogs. So a single dog household would probably be best.   We believe that she’s about two years old. Her adoption fee locally is $175. To Adopt up north it would be $450 to cover transport as well as additional veterinary cost. Apply by going to: Arkanpaws.org   ##2647200##
