Story
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. 11/20/25 Whiskey is a brother to Bourbon and Cognac. Like them, we don't know what breed he is, but he is everything good! He does appear to have some blue heeler in him, but who knows what else? Whatever his breed, he is a great pup! He is very calm and sweet natured. An old soul. He has a beautiful, soft coat of many colors. Whiskey is a little more on the shy side than his brothers and sister, but he gets over his shyness very quickly, with a little reassurance. I expect he will be med-large when grown, probably in the area of 50 lbs. This handsome little guy is almost 8 weeks old and will be ready for his new home by mid December, just in time to celebrate his first Christmas with you! Whiskey is located in Arkansas. He can be adopted locally, but transport is available to the New England area as well. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NY, or CT on Saturdays.   To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059   Message us or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions. He is neutered, microchipped, UTD on vaccines, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

My owner went to jail when I was a wee pup, a lady took me in, but her yard was small so If outside I've always had to be on a chain. Ugh!that has been living in a home but only out on a short chain. Inside I did learn house manors: Good Stuff - House and Crate trained, take treats nicely, sit, shake, play ball, love LOVE Belly Rubs, great at tug with a rope and give the sweetest kisses! Walking on leash is OK, not super... I chew on chew toys only so far!Bad Stuff - Persistence in begging (I was given human food as treats), reaching up on you to with my paws and have a stubburn streak! (working on these things)I do have LOTS of energy and love to run and play with people or other dogs! Dogs, kids, adults, ALL ARE MY BUDDIES! I DO COME WHEN CALLED from a DISTANCE, so a fence requirement will be discussed pending yard size and situation. So, get off your duff, complete an application.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans. We try to post videos for each pet so you can really get to know them. If you would like to find out more please email or call Diane at... diane@ulpr.org or 870-577-3744. Meet Haumea – The Heart You Don’t Want to Overlook Haumea may not turn every head at first glance. She’s not the kind of dog most people would call “fancy,” and she doesn’t need to be. Her beauty lives deeper — in her eyes, in her steady presence, and in the gentle joy that radiates from her heart. If you pause for just a moment and truly look at her, you’ll see it — the quiet grace of a soul that’s pure, loyal, and endlessly loving. Haumea stays right by your side, as if she’s always known that companionship is life’s greatest gift. Her heart is joy in its most honest form. She gives it freely and asks for nothing more than a place to belong. Whoever looks past the surface and chooses this beautiful girl will gain more than a dog — they’ll gain comfort, laughter, and a love so constant it will change their days forever. Adopting Haumea won’t just be a good decision. It will be the best one you ever make.   Please email us at diane@ulpr.org and request an application. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 9, 2025, 1:23 am
