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.

Story

Noah is a smart, high-energy puppy who thrives on activity, structure, and plenty of fun. He loves playing with other dogs, doing zoomies around the yard, and chasing leaves as they blow by. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would do best with older kids since he still occasionally jumps when he gets excited—but he’s learning! Noah is crate trained and housebroken once he learns the routine of his home. He walks well on a leash and already knows sit and down. His foster family is currently working on stay, and he’s proving to be a quick learner. Because of his energy level, Noah needs an active family that willing to continue teaching him manners and training. His mama was an Australian Shepherd, and based on how the whole litter looks, his foster believes dad was a Boxer—giving him the perfect mix of smarts, athleticism, and playfulness. Noah is ready to find a family who can keep up with his zest for life and help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be! Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story

Introducing Zeke, a truly remarkable pup whose heartwarming spirit and playful energy are ready to light up a new home. Zeke is a handsome, resilient boy who, through no fault of his own, found himself searching for a new home. He's more than ready to embark on his next chapter, seeking a loving, forever family to call his own. Zeke is a bundle of joyful energy, known for his silliness and ability to bring a smile to anyone's face. While he may start off shy, it doesn't take long for his true personality to shine through. He quickly becomes an enthusiastic playmate who thrives on the company of other dogs and will gleefully encourage them to play. Zeke is a smart and well-mannered companion. He is potty-trained and comfortable in his crate. He also knows basic commands like "sit" and "go to your room," and his eagerness to please makes him a joy to train further. While he’s working on managing his excitement (which sometimes results in enthusiastic leaps!), his good intentions are always clear. Walks are a highlight of his day, offering him a chance to explore and burn off some of that youthful energy. His barks will let you know precisely when he needs to go outside or when he hears you approaching the door. If you’re seeking an active, affectionate, and charming dog who promises boundless love and entertainment, Zeke could be the perfect addition to your home. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

"not the mama, NOT the mama!!" Anyone remember the cute dinosaur show from the early 2000's?? Well, we said that so many times to our "bottle baby fosters" they just didn't know what to do with us :) But they kept feeding us, waking up at all hours of the night and making sure we were fed and happy and loved..... SO, we are growing quickly and getting ready for our furever families!! Not the mama goes to the wayside when we meet you :D We are happy go lucky pups, Bear Bear is more sensitive than his sisters, he was the shyest pup but has come out of his shell, he is the one who will cuddle with you (until someone else wants to play). Sissies Lioness and Cheeta are spicy girls, loving and playful and Lioness likes to hang out behind things and then cry for help to get out.... or she cries because she is alone, OR she cries because no one has gotten her yet! Cheeta is more independent but will let you hold her and cuddle for about 10 min and then it is back to exploring and playing with her siblings :) As their foster moms, we love these little turds and pray they find the right homes for them. Active and adventurous for the girls and more laid back for Bear! ADOPT....DON'T SHOP!!! WE cannot save more without adoptions!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Details

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Riley Roscoe, born in January or February of 2015 is a tricolor, smooth coat collie/border collie mix. He is a very smart boy and has had extensive training over the years. He was adopted from us when he was about 6 months old and was returned to us 3 years later when the male member of the adoptive family, who had Alzheimer’s, became abusive toward him. In time he began developing his self-confidence again and began to lose his fear of men. Riley has some obvious border collie traits and the second adopter did not have the experience required to channel these traits in to positive qualities, so after a year he was again returned to us. He gets along well with the dogs in his foster home but can act aggressively toward a strange dog he does not know. He is not good with cats. He has now caught his second skunk. The first time he took the live skunk to his adopter’s back door for her. The second time, at his foster home, he caught one but another dog probably killed it and a third dog was carrying it around the yard. He was the one that got sprayed though. Riley weighs about 55 pounds. He is quite smart, wants to please and learns quickly. He rides well in a car and enjoys walking on a leash but does like to pull and will behave aggressively towards dogs he meets while out on the walk. Riley is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. If you would like to foster or adopt Riley, please complete the first step in the adoption process by filling out an online adoption application.

Story

Hi there! My name is Willow, and I’m on a quest to find my forever home. You see, I started my journey as a stray and ended up in the shelter. The volunteers all loved me and all wanted to take me for walks so that made my time there happy. But, the reality was I had been there for six weeks and it was getting close to the time I was going to be euthanized. Shelters aren’t bad places & in fact, I was at least off the street. I didn’t have to feel stressed searching for a safe place to sleep at night & I no longer had to search for food and water. Shelters only have so much space. They do the best that they can. I am so thankful for a volunteer who had the rescue give me a foster family to live with instead. I wish more families would foster because when the rescue took me out that meant it made space for another dog, and kept one from being euthanized. So, if you’re reading my bio, please consider fostering so some more dogs can be saved. I know the pictures of me are a little unusual because I had another bump of hardship in foster care. I had the best foster parents ever. The problem was that after three weeks of living with them that in my excitement to play with the neighbor dogs, I had a lapse of judgment and jumped over a low part of my foster‘s fence into the neighbor’s yard. I was horrified when one of the dogs I had just been playing with attacked me. Let’s just say I’m blessed to be here after that incident. After it was all over and done and they knew I was going to be ok, everyone laughed about the fact my amazing foster dad rushed me to the vet without even putting on a shirt! I am not even sure he had shoes on either. How sweet is that? Despite my adventure, I bounced back quickly! I’m a strong, happy girl who loves every dog I meet, big or small, young or old. I’ve got a quirky personality and a heart full of love to give. The volunteer and the rescue people all say the same thing--that there’s something about my eyes. They say that when I look at them, it’s like I can see into them with my eyes as if I’m trying to communicate with them. I’m great on a leash —I never pull! I don’t jump and I am very gentle so I would be great with any family. I would be great with a young family with kids, I would be great for someone young that loves to hike or run and I would also be great for someone that is older that needs someone easy on a leash. I hope my forever family finds me soon. Willow
