The total cost of adoption is $175.
Whoppers 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 beginning December 17, 2025.
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 have my phone with me when I’m taking care of the puppies, cleaning kennels, feeding, vaccinating, etc. 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.
