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.Sylvan is the last of his litter!! PLEASE SHARE!! He is in New England. Friendly, house trained, crate trained, and handsome! Can’t get much better than that! We believe he is a Lab mix. We don’t know who/what the parents were. He’s about 4 months old. Info from his foster mom- Sylvan is potty trained, he even goes out in the rain. He has mastered the stairs, even the tall ones he was nervous on. He's very smart and knows sit, wait, and is doing great at coming when he is called. He's very curious about everything around him and loves to cuddle on your lap and give kisses. We've started taking him on small walks and he's getting the hang of being on a leash. Loves to play with other dogs. He does chase the cats and needs to learn a little bit of his boundaries with them. He also is doing great in the crate with very little whining. He is neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message us or 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.

Hi, I'm Katie! I am a 3.5-year-old, 45-pound bundle of pure joy, and the rescue Vet says I’m a Labrabull mix... Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull. That means I've got the very best of both worlds: the adorable, blocky smile of a Pit Bull and the legendary, friendly energy of a Lab! Add in a bit of Pointer to explain my fancy coat pattern, and I’m the prettiest girl in town! If your perfect day includes fresh air and sunshine, then we are already a perfect match. I love being active and exploring the world around me. My absolute superpower? Finding water! If there is a pool to splash in, a lake to swim in, or a running hose to chase, I am the first one in line. I am also the ultimate social butterfly. I have never met a stranger in my life (dog or human), and I am convinced that every single person is just a best friend I haven't kissed yet! I confidently and calmly make friends with other dogs and come up to say hello with a happy waggy tail and a respectful demeanor. I am happy and quiet in the kennel; I don’t whine, complain, or bark. I am also pretty up to speed on where to potty (outside). I can get a little excited on a leash because I want to learn about everything and meet everyone, but my human can easily correct me, and I listen as a good girl should. After a fun day with my family, I love nothing more than curling up right next to my favorite humans for some well-deserved snuggles. And I am not a barker, so your neighbors will adore me! I was saved by a dog rescue from euthanasia at the San Antonio City “kill” shelter, and I couldn’t be more grateful! I am spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, with all my vet records packed and ready to leave Texas behind. Inquire about me today! Adoption Fee: $450 * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Louis — The Big, Playful Lovebug Looking for His Happily Ever After ❤️ Meet Louis! This handsome, 1-year-old, 55-pound bundle of love is ready to leave his difficult beginnings behind and discover just how wonderful life in a loving home can be. Louis didn't have the easy start every puppy deserves. When he was just a sweet little baby, he was found wandering the streets after being attacked by another dog. It was a frightening, dangerous experience for this precious boy and understandably, it left him with some uncertainty around other dogs. Louis can learn to trust other dogs but he needs a little extra time, patience, and slow, thoughtful introductions to help him feel safe. The good news? He's a friend to cats! 🐱 When it comes to people, though, Louis is all about love, love, love & fun, fun, fun, and being part of the family! He's a playful, goofy boy with a big sweet personality and an even bigger heart. He loves enjoying life and sharing his happiness with the people around him. And there's more to love! Louis is already potty trained and past the demanding little puppy stage, so you get all the fun and sweetness of a young dog without starting completely from scratch. This sweet boy deserved a childhood filled with safety, love, and carefree puppy adventures. Instead, life gave him a rough beginning. But Louis hasn't given up on love, and now it's his turn to be someone's cherished companion. And boy does he deserve it. He's looking for a special family who will see beyond his past, give him the time and reassurance he needs, and show him that he's finally home. In return, you'll get a big, goofy, playful lovebug who is ready to fill your days with laughter, companionship, and so much love. Louis is currently in Puerto Rico and can be transported (included in adoption fee) to the States for his forever home or an approved foster offer. Could you be the person who gives Louis the happy ending he's been waiting for? Let's make sure this boy's best days are still ahead of him. ❤️
