Our Penny is a schooled service dog who will alert to heart issues, has been trained in balance, and will indicate when animals or humans attempt to approach her handler. She was owner surrendered because the woman became pregnant and decided a baby and service dog would be too much for her. Transport to PA is the adaptor responsibility. Fees range from $170 plus $45 for medical papers.

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.3/27/24 Lenny  *We do not know his breed, Anatolian mix is a guess, BUT a kind person has donated a dna test for him, so we’ll have his dna soon!A new family moved in down the road several months ago. I would sometimes see them walking their puppy and from a distance he looked healthy and happy. One day the puppy ran up to me as he was, and still is, friendly like that. As he got closer, I was able to see how underweight and sickly he was. When I went to rub his belly I discovered that it was covered in sores. Sores from his front legs, across is whole underside, down to and through his back legs. It was both horrifying and heartbreaking. While trying to explain to the owner how desperately he needed to see a vet was when I learned that he did not speak English. There were children in the home who did speak English so I composed a little letter offering to help them help the dog. Expecting to be ignored I was surprised when they agreed to let me take him to the vet. So I got him an appointment, and for a month or two, drove over to feed and water him twice a day. (It was during this time I named him Lenny .) Knowing full well he was never going to heal by going back to the same ramshackle storage building where he slept, I didn’t know what to do. So one day I was going to bring him home with me for a bath. I texted the owner and simply said that I was not going to bring him back. They said that was fine. ‍&#226&#153&#128&#239&#184&#143 Fast forward four months. Now he is healthy, energetic, affectionate, and oh so appreciative. He isn’t just other dog friendly. He thrives in the company of other dogs. He offers up his favorite toys in an effort to engage and play. He’s only ever had the ability to play with older dogs that simply can’t play on his level. So his perfect home will require at least one other very high energy, good natured playmate. He’s a very smart guy. Learned how to sit on command with ease. He is believed to have been born around, May 2023, and would now be 9 months old. He’s 65 lbs already, and should be a big boy when he’s finished growing. A big, handsome, lovable guy!!! All of his health issues are cleared up and healed. He does have an adorable little wart inside his right ear, but it shouldn’t cause any problems and just adds to his character. He’s neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and is on flea/tick/ heartworm prevention. 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.
