Story
Application link https://forms.gle/mtaWGXgjgBRLat1T7 Date of Birth The total cost of adoption is $175. Rolo is a very affectionate small/medium mixed breed male. He melts when you hold him and that is his happy place. He has lots of energy for the zoomies but he loves to to be with you whether you are on the sofa chilling or running a race. He will probably be faster than you. Only the $75 transport fee is due to secure transport from our rescue in Texarkana, Texas to one of the 7 locations on our transport route. The $100 adoption fee is not due until you pick him/her up on the transport date at the location you select. You also have the option to designate someone else to pick up your pet. If you haven’t yet seen our Facebook Reels of past adoptions and transports, please do so. Greg King Canine Recovery dog rescue is located at 484 Farren Road in Texarkana, Texas 75503. Once a month, we transport all pre-adopted dogs and puppies to the following 7 cities because all of the shelters in our area are kill shelters, so we try to save all that we can by getting them adopted and transporting them to their new homes. These 7 cities are currently on our transport route. Poplar Bluff, Missouri Arnold, Missouri Springfield, Illinois Bloomington, Illinois Rockford, Illinois Joliet, Illinois Kalamazoo, Michigan Please contact me, Latrell King, at 903-280-4233 for adoption questions. Please send a text before calling and then you can also leave a voicemail because I don't typically have my phone with me in the kennels. I will return your call or respond to your message ASAP. Once you complete an application, we will process it to get it approved. If it is approved, I will send you the "Approval Letter" via text followed by the "Transport Roster Information form" The Transport Roster Information form will guide you to select your pickup location and provide links to pay the $75 Transport fee. The adoption fee is not due until you pick up your new dog/puppy on the scheduled transport day. Following are ballpark estimates of our arrival at each transport location. I will also send a live Google Map link so that adoptive parents can follow our travel progress from one pick up location to the next. 1.

Story
Meet our Whippet/Golden Retriever mix puppies — a special litter of gentle souls learning how to be carefree pups for the very first time. These puppies came to us from Illinois Doberman Rescue after being discovered in the barn where they were born. They were scared and under-socialized, not having much contact with humans prior to this. They arrived at our shelter understandably shy, unsure, and overwhelmed by the world around them. With time, patience, and a gentle, respectful approach, these sweet pups have already begun an incredible transformation. Day by day, they are blossoming—starting to explore, showing curiosity, and learning what it means to play, trust, and simply be puppies. Watching them rediscover joy has been nothing short of heartwarming. While they are making great progress, they will need patient, understanding families who will continue this journey with them. Their ideal home will give them the space to move at their own pace, offering reassurance without pressure. Each of these pups has so much love to give—they just need someone willing to meet them where they are and show them the kindness they’ve always deserved. ❤️

Story
Everest is one of our Whippet/Golden Retriever mix puppies that came to us from Illinois Doberman Rescue after being discovered in the barn where they were born. They were scared and under-socialized, not having much contact with humans prior to this. They arrived at our shelter understandably shy, unsure, and overwhelmed by the world around them. Everest was the most fearful of human interaction and he has been in a foster home learning to trust humans. He quickly learned how comfy the couch and bed are and enjoys to press up against a person for warmth. He has a blast playing with other dogs and running full speed in the yard. He is living with a very dog tolerant cat who enjoys wrestling and being chased. Everest enjoys short bouts of chasing the cat but will also cuddle on the couch with him. Everest is still not comfortable with being on a leash so a yard is a must at this time. This sweet natured pup is looking for a patient home that will go at his pace in discovering all that life has to offer!
