Story
I rescued Russell from a family who had just had a huge litter of puppies in Harrisburg…. When I got him from them they actually recused him from an abusive home. When I got him he was very shy and timid but me and him had love at first sight I hate to give him away… but him and his offspring pup don’t get along it’s weird because Russel to this day has never had a problem with any other dogs male or female only his offspring… Russel has been thru so much in his life and he also been thru so much with me I truly hope I can find someone who will Give him the life he deserves… because of how he and his offspring behave toward each other I have to keep one crated at all times because we have a very small house plus my dad is in his 60 and his health is declining he can’t keep up with the stress of them 2 getting into it not mention my dad is deaf and disabled so it just hard… we’ve been dealing with Russell and Kreem not gettin along for over 5 years now It just getting to be too much

Story
Current Location: Frederick, MD Personality: - Bella is a fun-loving, happy girl who loves attention! She loves playing with stuffy toys and chewing bones. - She enjoys playing with other dogs and was reported to be good with children while at the shelter. Special Considerations: - As a young dog, Bella has a fair bit of energy and curiosity! She has been pretty quiet, so with the right physical and mental enrichment she should do well in an apartment, townhome, or single-family home. - She’s still learning her manners and would benefit from some basic training—like understanding that toys and bones are for chewing, not hands. She’s eager to please and with a little guidance, she’ll catch on quickly! - Right now, she's carrying a few extra pounds and needs a healthy diet and regular exercise to help her feel her best. Training and Learning: - Bella enjoys being outside on walks, and is learning not to zig-zag on leash! She has been polite when passing other dogs and people on walks. - She has done very well in her crate both overnight and during the day - She is working on perfecting her potty training and appears to be making great progress. She is also working on basic commands such as "sit." Energy level: - Bella is a young dog who understandably needs an outlet for her energy! She would do best with both physical and mental stimulation. Once she gets that, she is happy to snooze on the couch with her family. Bella is looking for her forever home where a new family will cherish her fun personality and companionship.

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.Meet Charlie (female). She is a small breed, we aren't sure her mix but we're thinking possibly Jack Russell, Corgi, Australian Cattle Dog? We believe she is 3-4 years old. She is about 25 pounds.    She gets along well with other dogs. She's little bit nervous with new people at first. She has just started at the Arkansas Paws in Prison program where we hope she will gain some confidence.   In her foster home, she had a habit of slipping past her foster family and bolting out the door. She comes back but only when she's ready. She needs to work on her recall and her habit of bolting. We are hopeful the trainers at Paws in Prison can work with her on that!   Her foster mom says Charlie is “super loveable and loves to cuddle.” Now, that’s a ringing endorsement!    Unfortunately, Charlie is heartworm positive so she will be undergoing treatment for this. She is spayed and UTD on vaccinations.    Paws in prison is an amazing program where dogs are paired with inmates whom they are with 24/7 for 8 weeks. The inmates work with the dogs everyday on basic training, basic obedience, house training, leash training, etc. and even some tricks! They meet weekly with a certified dog trainer. This is a wonderful program and so beneficial for the dogs and the inmates! Charlie will graduate from Paws in Prison in August.    Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations. Harrisburg, PA 2am Fridays Port Jervis, NY 5am Fridays Southington, CT 8am Fridays East Hartford, CT 11am Fridays  To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive.

Story
Mercedes is an active and athletic girl, she loves to explore and to stay busy. Mercedes is a medium sized girl, weighing just under 30 lbs. If you are looking for a buddy to take with you on adventures, she is your girl. She is learning leash manners, she is very treat motivated which helps in her reward training. Mercedes will sit for her food and treats, she is gentle when taking food from your hand. She should fit into most any family, we have not had the opportunity to introduce her to children, but she has a great temperament and should do fine. She likes to be where the action is at, her ideal home would have a fenced-in yard for her to explore and run and play. She has done well in multiple play groups, she is not dominant with other dogs, but does not like overly assertive ones. Mercedes has been picked on by bigger dogs, so she can be somewhat timid with them until she knows she can trust them. We do not think she would do well with small animals like cats, she does want to chase and is a little TOO interested in them. This girl is well rounded and is looking for someone to choose her! She is a great size, not too small and not too big :-) She is fully vetted and ready to go home.
