Story
Macy is located in TEXAS. There are not enough homes for all the unwanted dogs down there, so she is willing to relocate for a good, loving, forever home. Macy looks like a rat terrier. We are guessing she is around 3 years of age and she weighs 15 pounds. As expected, she was a bit leery of the other dogs at first but now she is just as happy and playful as she can be. Macy is very affectionate and loves attention and pets. She likes to sit next to you on the couch and grumbles at the other dogs to keep them away so she can have all the attention. This is a bad habit and should not be encouraged. Macy is crate-trained and well-behaved in the house. She likes to roll herself up in a blanket when sleeping. Macy is getting chubby after her spay and her new family needs to take her on walks to lose weight. Macy is doing well with housetraining but may need more work. Because Macy is small, she must be protected from rough treatment by children or big dogs that could hurt her. She must also be protected from raptors and other outdoor predators. Macy must be an inside dog and a loved member of the family. To avoid injury, she will need steps to get on and off the couch and other furniture. Macy must be walked on a leash and would like a secure, fenced yard to run and play. Macy is healthy. She is spayed and tattooed, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. She is negative for heartworms and receives monthly heartworm and flea prevention. ALL transport costs are included in the adoption fee with delivery to Danbury, Glastonbury, or Union CT. Macy is located in Texas and cannot be transported until after she is adopted. Please send an email to 2manydogstx@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting this little sweet girl.

Story
Panda is just a darling. She is adorable. A 2 year old, 30 lb girl..... so she is full grown. A perfect size. She loves car rides and leash wallks. Panda was in a prior home with Emmie (also posted for adoption). Panda loves all the dogs in her foster home and will be fine adopted to a new home without Emmie. They will both be ok separated.... even though they do love each other very much. Previous owner surrendered them because he was being evicted and could not take the dogs to his new place. Law enforcement was called on the guy because he was leaving the dogs without shelter or food for days at a time. As this is terribly sad, these two seem non-affected..... they are adjusting very well in foster care. Enjoying their food and treats. We are moving them forward..... never to look back. Panda will make some lucky Family so very happy. Panda is currently in West Tennessee (Gleason). Contact Lisa at 731-499-0739 or oatsvall973@yahoo.com. Adoption fee is $200. Transport in addition is $175 if needed.

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. Update 2/24/24 Still available.  2/2/24 Betty is a friendly, outgoing puppy who loves to play. She gets the zoomies and plays hard for a few minutes, then will crash for a power nap. She is smart and energetic. She is working on housetraining and coming along well. Her mom is a rat terrier mix (med size) and her dad (from what we were told) is a Mini Australian Shepherd mix. Based on current size, I would not plan on her staying small; she will most likely be medium sized, around 40 lbs. She is about 3 months old. 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, NJ 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.
