Story
Let me introduce you to the sisters Roxie and Lucy. Both dogs were rescued by the Humane Society of Faulkner County, Arkansas, and are thought to be a mix of blue heeler and Australian shepherd. They came from a litter of 11 pups that were dumped on a rural county road, and we adopted them in December of 2018. Both dogs love each other’s company but are happy and playful when by themselves and relish any attention provided to them. I know they would love a new “forever home” together, but they also are fine being by themselves, especially when given any kind of attention. Roxie is the more adventuresome of the pair. She loves to sit on the back porch watching the squirrels and wishing she were fast enough to catch one. Lucy on the other hand is content to lay on the back porch and nap until she hears us come home or some other commotion in the neighborhood. They are both excellent with children (we have two young grandkids) and while they’ll bark at a stranger, it takes only a minute or two for them to cozy up to you in anticipation of getting petted. We trained them at the Little Rock Dog Club, and they are very smart and responsive to verbal and hand commands. They have never chewed any property inside our home (we do provide inside chew toys) and are house trained; they do not climb up on furniture either. They slept in dog kennels at first but have been sleeping on dog beds in our bedroom for years. They do like to occasionally chew on our outside drip irrigation spikes for our landscaping, it must be the right texture for their teeth. Both dogs were chipped by the Humane Society, are healthy and just finished their annual wellness checkup at the veterinarian on September 6, 2023. They are current on their rabies, Bordetella, and lepto vaccines, and negative for heartworms (on Heartgard) and wear Seresto collars for flea/tick control. Roxie weighs 63 lbs. and Lucy 65 lbs. Now, why are we wanting to help them find new homes? It’s because of our extensive travels since our retirement. We’ve never boarded them, rather we had to count on neighbors or friends to feed them and they are not getting the exercise nor the amount of attention that they need with our absences. It’s hard, but we believe that they need a loving home for them together or individually that will help keep them healthy and happy. The adoption donation is $250individually or $300 for both dogs. A fenced yard is required. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. You can find a copy of that application here. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember our organization is staffed completely by volunteers. Please Note: All applications are processed in the order received, but an adoption is made to the best application received for each of our animals. All applicants must provide a vet reference on the adoption application. If you are adopting a dog from ARFA, a fenced in yard for the dog will be required. Home visits often occur with each adoption. ARFA has the right to deny adoption to any applicant for any reason without explanation. Please remember that the adoption donation is not for purchase of a dog, but rather to cover the medical cost of all dogs in our care. THE FINE PRINT 1. Animal Rescue Fund Arkansas reserves the right to deny any application, for any reason without explanation to the applicant. 2. You understand that we often take many applications on the same animal and that they are processed in the order that they come in. An application is in no way a reservation for any animal or a guarantee that you will be selected to adopt the animal. 3. If your application Is approved, you will be asked to sign a separate adoption contract. 4. Once the trial period is over, usually 1 week unless there are special circumstances, the adoption donation cannot be returned to you for any reason. It will have been used to help rescue another homeless animal and is no longer available therefore, if you return the dog to us for any reason, you will not be refunded your donation. 5. If the animal you want to adopt is placed in another home, you can transfer your application to another A.R.F.A. animal without completing additional paperwork. 6. You understand that this is a rescued pet. We rarely have any information about their past life circumstances. We have all animals examined by a vet, brought up to date on shots, given their rabies vaccine, spayed/neutered (If old enough), wormed and checked for heartworms and if positive begin treatment. We do our best to ensure that we are placing healthy pets but can make no guarantee to the health or temperament of this pet, and vet expenses are the responsibility of the adoptive family from the date of the adoption. We require that you take the pet to a vet within one week of adoption for a check-up and to allow your vet to get a baseline for your new pet’s health.

Hi there! I'm Jinx and I live for playtime—whether it’s fetching my favorite squeaky toy or wrestling with my human for an extra treat. My tail wagging is a sure sign that I’m always ready for an adventure or just a cozy cuddle session on the couch but if you have a snack I might take a small bite of you give me half a chance! My favorite things include sunny spots to lounge in, belly rubs from my human, and, of course, barking at the mailman—it’s my daily exercise! Excited to meet you! ~Jinx

Hi there! My name is Masha and I’m an 8-year-old sweetheart who’s looking for a new forever family. My owner had to go into a nursing facility, and sadly, there's no one else to care for me. When I was brought in, I was a bit overweight, but my awesome foster mom has been taking me on lots of walks, and I’m losing weight quickly! I get super excited whenever I see the leash—it means adventure time! 🐕‍🦺🚶‍♂️ I’m great with other dogs and live with two of them, plus two friendly felines. 🐶🐈 In fact, I’ve even started cuddling with one of them! I have a calm and sweet personality, and I absolutely love my walks. I know it can be tough to find homes for seniors, but I still have plenty of life and love to give. I’ve had a rough go of it lately, and I truly deserve a second chance. 🐾💖

Story
If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick then Joey is your dog. We think this gorgeous tricolor male could be a cross between an Australian Shepherd and an English Shepherd, both of which are very intelligent breeds. Joey does not tolerate being crated very well so he would be the perfect dog for someone who works from home or lives on a farm. Joey would make a great hiking buddy as he is always ready for an adventure. He weighed 35 pounds when rescued and is probably about 40 pounds now, which is a good weight for him. Joey was picked up as a stray and is guesstimated to be 3-5 years old according to our vet. Due to his activity level we think he is closer to 3. Joey walks well on a leash, even though he pulls a bit at first and he rides well in a car. Joey has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on vaccinations. Joey also appears to be housebroken. Unfortunately, Joey tested heartworm positive. He is asymptomatic for heartworms and is on the doxycycline protocol which is the “slow kill” method to eliminate his heartworms. On this protocol, we are giving Joey monthly heartworm prevention to protect him from further heartworm infestation and he gets doxycycline twice a day every other month. He can be given a proheart 6 or a proheart 12 shot if adopter prefers that method of heartworm prevention. Also, on this protocol he has no activity restrictions so he can live life normally throughout the treatment process. With this protocol he should test negative in a couple of years. His adoption donation is $250. If you would like to adopt Joey, please complete the first step in the adoption process by filling out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. If you are interested in fostering Joey, please fill out the adoption application and fill in “Joey foster” as the dog you are interested in adopting. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer will contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in. Please Note: All applications are processed in the order received, but an adoption is made to the best application received for each of our animals. All applicants must provide a vet reference on the adoption application. If you are adopting a dog from ARFA, a fenced in yard for the dog will be required. Home visits often occur with each adoption. ARFA has the right to deny adoption to any applicant for any reason without explanation. Please remember that the adoption donation is not for purchase of a dog, but rather to cover the medical cost of all dogs in our care. THE FINE PRINT 1. Animal Rescue Fund Arkansas reserves the right to deny any application, for any reason without explanation to the applicant. 2. You understand that we often take many applications on the same animal and that they are processed in the order that they come in. An application is in no way a reservation for any animal or a guarantee that you will be selected to adopt the animal. 3. If your application Is approved, you will be asked to sign a separate adoption contract. 4. Once the trial period is over, usually 1 week unless there are special circumstances, the adoption donation cannot be returned to you for any reason. It will have been used to help rescue another homeless animal and is no longer available therefore, if you return the dog to us for any reason, you will not be refunded your donation. 5. If the animal you want to adopt is placed in another home, you can transfer your application to another A.R.F.A. animal without completing additional paperwork. 6. You understand that this is a rescued pet. We rarely have any information about their past life circumstances. We have all animals examined by a vet, brought up to date on shots, given their rabies vaccine, spayed/neutered (If old enough), wormed and checked for heartworms and if positive begin treatment. We do our best to ensure that we are placing healthy pets but can make no guarantee to the health or temperament of this pet, and vet expenses are the responsibility of the adoptive family from the date of the adoption. We require that you take the pet to a vet within one week of adoption for a check-up and to allow your vet to get a baseline for your new pet’s health.
