Aida might as well be called a "lap cat". She happily plops down in any lap she can find and adores being around people. If she is not laying in your lap, she is on your feet or pushed up against your leg. She wants to be as close as possible, which we find incredibly adorable! When given a bone, she would proudly show off her new possession to staff members before settling on a bed for a good chew. She also knows 'sit' and is working on adding other tricks to her repertoire! If you are ready to adopt a cuddle bug, come and meet this girl at our Madison location today!

Story

Hello, I'm Ladybug and I just stayed with a foster for the first time. Here are some of the things my foster wants you to know about me! I love snuggling on the couch and being with my foster mom wherever she goes. She was also very impressed that I never barked at anything in the home. I loved when guests would come over and shower me with affection, I was great with new people coming and going. As much as I love sleeping on the couch, I am also down for a good adventure. I love saying hi to new people on the leash and I even do nicely when I see other dogs on a walk. I'm the epitome of polite! During my time at the shelter I loved to play with other dogs, so if you have a doggie friend at home I could be a great companion for them. I'm really starting to like my crate at home too! I'm back at the Madison shelter, so please stop in and visit me today!

Story

Meet Dillon. He's a sweet and energetic 3 year old pitbull mix at around 68 lbs. He absolutely loves love and is a huge cuddle bug. In the time we have had him, he has never known a stranger and wants scratches from every person he meets. He loves any chew toy he can get and will chase any ball you throw though he doesn't quite understand the concept of fetching yet. He is still working on his manners but is very quick to please. We think he would be happiest as a solo dog mainly because he wants all of your attention and love. For more information please message Tonya at 870-318-4161 or email t.maloy@yahoo.com Applications at helprescueark.org

WISE is entirely volunteer-run and all of the donations made to our rescue go directly back to the animals in our care. By partnering with veterinary practices that support our work, we are able to save animals’ lives and restore them back to health. While some animals only need standard care, others require more extensive veterinary or behavioral care. Regardless of which dog you are applying for, we are looking for adopters to support our program with an adoption donation. The donation may or may not be directly applied to care of the dog you're adopting but rather goes toward supporting all of the dogs in the rescue.
