Story
Meet Row Row Rosie! She is a young girl, but has such a calm demeanor....and such a perfect size at 35 pounds!This gorgeous pup was found as a stray in a very rural area of Tennessee. No one claimed her after almost 2 months of searching. Our southern rescuer thinks she grew up on a farm. Rosie can get along with any dog, big or small. She is not big on physical playing with other pups, however, she loves a good game of tug-of-war.She has been introduced to cats and does well if they are low energy, but she will chase if they run and will react if the cat comes after her. She is not aggressive and never injured the cat, even though it was running and hissing at her. She could live with a low energy cat She would prefer a lower-key home without too much commotion, but handles the chaos in her current foster home quite well. She startles easily, but is not reactive. She will grumble if the dogs pester her.Rosie kennels on command and will bark if she is ready to get out. She is not destructive or an escape artist. If left out, she is a great house guest, she is potty trained (with a doggie door) and does not get into anything. She rarely gets on the furniture and sleeps on the floor next to the bed. She also loves to spend time outside sunbathing. Rosie gets grumbly and vocal if things get too rough. She is not hyper, by any means, but when she gets excited her herding instincts kick in, so watch your ankles! She can be mouthy and rough when her humans play with her, but it is all fun and games. However, for this reason, we recommend older children for Rosie. Rosie would do best with someone/a family who understands cattle-dog mentality of herding, talkyness, and behavior.She minds well on a leash, keeps tension at first and will loosen when asked. Rosie also listens quite well off-leash.She loves the car and will ride all day if you let her....just an overall great girl!Name: Row Row RosieBreed: Cattle Dog MixSex: FemaleAge: 2 years  (estimated)Weight: 35.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Positive on recent testing.

Story
Curly is an adorable one-year-old Cattle Dog Mix who is eagerly looking for a forever home. With her calm and quiet demeanor, Curly has won the hearts of everyone she meets. She possesses a loving nature especially once she forms a bond with her human companions. Her foster mom has enjoyed taking care of her and has stated that her company was most endearing. They spend many nights cuddling as the foster works on her computer. Even though her foster mom will miss her, she knows Curly is ready for the next big step in her life in finding a loving family! How did Curly come into the ArkanPaws program? There is a video of her walking across a bridge with several other abandoned dogs in an area known for dumping unwanted pets. The ArkanPaws volunteer returned with live traps and by the next morning she was secured. At first, she was afraid and it took about one week to win her trust. She still is shy when initially meeting strangers but warms quickly when she feels safe.  One of Curly's most endearing qualities is her gentle and sweet nature. She approaches life with a relaxed attitude, always ready to take things at her own pace. While she may initially be reserved, it doesn't take long for her to warm up to people, and once she does, her affection knows no bounds. She enjoys being petted and following her person around the yard and house. How did Curly get here name? Her cute little tail is what she is named for! Her appearance is very unique with her dappled short coat and corkscrew like tail. Her coat sheds very little and is easy to maintain. Curly will do best with older kids who are eight years old and up. She’s learning to like toys and has a zest for treats. With proper interaction, she has the potential and curiosity to engage in play. She's doing very well with the cats in her foster home. Curly is curious, but does not advance, or act aggressive in any way with them.  She’s crate trained and still trying to master potty training. Her foster mom is working with her to walk on leash. She is fully vetted: spayed, microchipped, all core vaccinations, and has been examined by a licensed veterinarian. Her current weight is a healthy 38 pounds. Her adoption fee is $450, which covers her transport and all of the vetting she has received. She has been tested for heartworms and the result was negative. ArkanPaws is not licensed in the state of Massachusetts and unable to deliver there. ArkanPaws is a non-profit agency and all adoption fees supports other pets in need.  ##1771554##

Story
To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application  HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see  HERE Age: 8 months (as of 8/22/2023) Weight: 35.6 pounds (as of 9/5/2023) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Kynlee is an adorable Heeler mix girl looking for a quiet home to call her own. Her foster mom tells us she’s a little shy, but once she gets comfortable, she lets her happy puppy self-shine through. Says her foster mom, "She's a funny little dog that will keep you laughing with her antics." She lives in a home with a man, a woman, and a female dog. She is playful and submissive with her doggy friend and foster mom but is cautious (but interested) with her foster dad. She comes to him for pets once he kneels and calls her, but sudden movements startle her. Kynlee has not been exposed to children and hesitates with new people and objects. For these reasons, we would not place her in a very active household or where there might be many unpredictable sounds and movements. Kynlee loves, Loves, LOVES toys! Ropes, stuffies, and chew toys are all good in her book – and the more, the better. She sometimes will pull every toy out of the box just to have them ready for play. Kynlee is clean in her crate and hasn’t had any accidents in the house. She rarely barks and is gentle, goofy, and affectionate. An ideal home for this sweet girl would be a quiet, low-traffic household with people willing to work with her to build her confidence. Training is a must for Kynlee to help her make sense of how to act in the larger world, build her confidence, and bond with you. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see  HERE  for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website: www.sosarl.org/aa/   **Additional info you should know - For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label. Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption. There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor. October 3, 2023, 12:41 pm
