Story
This boy was dumped off at an auction place by his owners. Apparently their new landlord wouldn’t let him stay and that was their solution. He waited for them but was caught by a volunteer's house and brought in. He is a sweet, sweet boy who was definitely cared for. We’re positive he is housetrained and does well on a leash. He does well around other dogs his size, have not put him with smaller dogs. We aren’t sure about cats but know he can learn those manners. He loves to be around people, does well with kids and would love to go on any adventure with his new family. He would do best in a yard to get some energy out but it doesn't have to be too big…. just something he can walk around in but extra walks or dog park would do best for him. He is just a big lover who was let down by one family and is hoping for a second chance with a new one. Hank is being fostered in TN at this time but no worries because we use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. They transport every weekend alternating between the Northeast and the Midwest.

Story
This girl was found at an auto shop, hence her name. She is very friendly and playful. She is around other dogs her age and does well. She likes to be in charge so she would do best in a home with calmer, submissive dogs. She will need puppy training as we aren’t sure if she has had any. She likes toys and loves to show them off to people! She is good around kids but is excitable so will need to learn how to be around little ones. She is learning how to be on a leash and does okay in a kennel. She’s just an active girl who needs an active family to keep her busy. She is just looking for fun times and a family to share them with her. She is being fostered in TN but we do transport using the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. We transport every weekend alternating between the Northeast and the Midwest.

Story
This gal and 3 others were surrendered due to her owner not taking care of them properly. Rainey is the sweetest lady, although the shyest when meeting new people. Once she knows you, she is just wonderful. She loves to play and just have a fun time. She does learn, when she wants to pay attention. She would do great in a home with some yard, doesn’t have to be huge, just something she can get out to. She likes other dogs but hasn’t been around any smaller dogs. She would need to learn manners with cats as we don't’ think the household had any. She would do well on long walks, or a dog park for her to get her legs stretched out. She does well with kids so any family would suit her. She is just a wonderful girl who is looking for a new family to have fun with. Rainey is being fostered in TN but not to worry because we use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. They transport every weekend alternating between the Midwest and the Northeast.

Story
Vince, his mother Virginia and his two siblings, Victor, and Vanilla are in a shelter that is overfull and will need to make space shortly. ALL OF THEM ARE ON THE URGENT LIST! The poor momma was a stray that no one would help. She finally wandered up to an empty house to have her babies and thankfully someone called trying to find help for her. Vince is the leader of his pack. He is wide open in the play yard, and he loves a tennis ball. He will not jump on you for attention, but he makes his wishes clear by wiggling his butt all around you and gazing up with puppy eyes until you notice him. Vince seems good with kids and other dogs but just make sure you introduce them properly as he thinks he should be in charge! He is super sweet and playful and very smart. He is coming along well with leash walking and potty training and relishes love, and attention. Vince is currently in TN but the transport to your area is included in your fee.

Story
Virginia was dumped out pregnant and despite going up to several homes and people, no one tried to help. She eventually wandered up to an empty house to have her three babies and thankfully someone took pity and reach out to get her help. Now she and her puppies, Vince, Victor & Vanilla are in a shelter that is overfull and will need to make space shortly. ALL OF THEM ARE ON THE URGENT LIST! This girl is going to make someone a fabulous companion! She walks very well on a leash, is potty-trained, and is active but not hyper. Virginia LOVES to go for car rides, especially if there's a burger and a pup-cup involved. And when she went on an outing, she was the perfect lady when walking around the store- she was polite, greeted everyone, picked out a chew toy and treats. She also LOVES to play with her tennis ball or squeaky ball!! No stuffy toys for this girl, unless you want a snowstorm of fluff inside your house 🙂 She loves to be with her person but is content to play by herself too. Virginia does not love other dogs and we recommend she be an only-pet home. She has done well with kids and loves everyone she meets. She will need some work with leash walking as she is a strong puller. She does not jump, nor does she guard her food or toys. She takes a treat ever-so-gently and is just an overall "Good Girl!!" Virginia is looking for a pet-free family to include her on their adventures and show her all the love this mama dog deserves!! This girl is an absolute LOVE and deserves the best home ever! If it is yours, click on the big, black button to inquire about Virginia. Victor is currently in TN but the transport to your area is included in your fee.

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.5/7/24 Happy Toothsday! These sweet girls are still available for adoption. They both have spina bifida which has left them completely incontinent. They wear diapers and do great staying clean with just a couple of diaper changes daily, and they sleep in a crate with a grate in the bottom at night so they can 'air out.' Aside from that, they are healthy and fully vetted. These little girls are just a joy to have. They have endless amounts of love to give, but they are excellent at playing together and entertaining themselves as well. They are very well behaved. They are happy to get any attention, but are not demanding if you are busy. They don't get into things they shouldn't, they are good about playing with their toys. They are strictly a package deal and absolutely will not be seperated, even if that means they stay here forever. But I would love for them to find a home with someone who can give them more time and attention than I can. I have spent a small fortune on them- beyond the regular vetting, I've also had soft palate surgery on Poundcake and cherry eye surgery on Shortbread, and then the cost of their diapers as they have grown, diapers liners, suspenders, etc. But I don't expect to get all of that back. This is the nature of rescue. The main goal is to find a home for them with someone who can afford to keep them in diapers and has the time to give them. With that said, they are not free and do have an adoption fee that is appropriate for their breed. It is a big commitment to have 2 dogs in diapers. But once you get into a routine, it's very easy to keep them comfortable, clean, and happy. These girls get along very well with other dogs and they love kids as well. Growing up in rescue, they have become a little bit shy with new people, only because they haven't been around many people besides us. But they warm up very quickly. Poundcake (brown and white) is the more cuddly of the two. She loves to sit in a lap, give all the kisses, and just snuggle as much as possible. Shortbread (brindle and white) is the more busy, playful of the two. She also loves to cuddle but once she's had her loves, she is ready to get down and play. Neither are high energy dogs. In fact they are the typical, slow, kind of lazy English Bulldogs. Short bursts of playful energy followed by a long nap is their jam. They are about 6-7 months old and weigh about 35 lbs each. They are located in Arkansas but transport to some New England states is available. To apply:You can find my form 'ADOPT A STRAY RESCUE' at: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059Message me directly or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.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.

Story
We would like you to meet Reign!  Reign is a stunning 3 year old English Bulldog that is looking for her forever home! Reign is a silly girl with a lot of personality once she trusts you, but she needs forever people that are willing to take it slow and let that trust build! Reign could live with another dog as long as her forever people take it slow and are willing to monitor closely for a bit. Reign will need to be fed separately from any dogs in the house. She would also be happy to be your one and only. Reign is good with kids but would do best with kids that are 10+ in the home. We are not sure how she is with cats, so a feline free home would be best. Reign is house broken and crate trained. Reign loves a good evening stroll and a stuffie to play with. She is happy to hang out and chill and be the best companion once she trusts you! Structure is important for all dogs, but Reign is very much the kind of bully girl that will think she runs the house if she is not kept in line with rules and boundaries. For this reason, we are looking for experienced owners for her and won’t be considering first time dog owners. Reign would love ongoing training as a way to form a bond with her humans. Previous experience with  brachycephalic dog breeds and their physical needs and limitations is also preferred.  Reign is a gem of a pup that is just looking for her people!  If you have room in your home and heart for Reign, please visit our website and fill out an application!

Story
I am the mighty Mogwai, a one-year-old powerhouse Bulldog of energy, fully equipped with vaccinations, neutering, and microchipping. Oh, and did I mention that I'm a short king and a professional bodybuilder? That's right, I'm all about that muscle mass, baby!   Despite my young age, I still exhibit some puppy behaviors that I'm diligently working on. But fear not, for I am a remarkably intelligent and lively lad who aims to please my humans. I've mastered the art of crate training and am making strides in learning proper leash manners. However, I have a talent for sneaking up on folks and giving them a surprise ninja appearance. Watch out for this beefcake on the move!   While I may be a lover of all beings, it's best that I find a forever home with older children who are steady on their feet. After all, I wouldn't want my robust physique to accidentally knock anyone over. Although I've encountered neighborhood kitties and simply ignore them, the prospect of cohabiting with a feline friend remains a mystery to me. As for other dogs, I'm all for some roughhousing and playtime!   In an ideal world, my perfect family would enroll me in obedience classes to provide the structure I crave. I'm a quick learner, but a little guidance goes a long way. And let's not forget about the toys! I require a rope toy and a Kong to keep me entertained and engaged. So, if you're ready for some action-packed fun with a lovable musclebound goofball, I'm your guy! ##2094478##

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.One minute you have an owner that takes you everywhere in his truck and lets you and your brother sleep on the bed or next to his recliner.  Then the unimaginable happens and your dad won’t wake up.  You can’t call for help, you can only watch over your daddy until someone stops by.  After three days strangers started banging on the door and finally brake in.  These are people you have never seen before.  In your fear you both start barking and trying to protect dad.  The next minute you have a catchpole choking your neck and throwing you in a kennel.  You are separated from your brother and thrown in a loud kennel with strangers.  You sit in a corner shaking with fear until you finally see a face you recognize.  But you are so scared you keep barking and growling until you realize they are here to save you and your brother.  This is Chula’s story.     When we got Chula and Booger to the rescue they were still in shock from losing their dad.  For the first two months they would only let Pat near them, since they knew her in their old life.  Finally they started responding and were able to come to the kennels were they could interact with the workers and start looking for a new family.  Booger was able to find a home and is living a remarkable life.  Chula wasn’t understanding how she went from pampered housedog to living in a kennel by herself.  A decision was made to place her with Chance and see if they could make a connection.  The transformation of both dogs was incredible.  Chance became sociable and would allow us to leash him and take him for walks with Chula.  Chula enjoyed getting out of the kennel and playing.  They started spending the day in our exercise areas playing and running.  They have become social to new people and are ready for the right home.  Chula is an older dog.  She only has a few more years if she is lucky.  She has been a house dog and has never pooped in her room.  Ideally, we would love for Chance and  Chula to find a home together.  Unfortunately. we know how rare that opportunity is.  Are you that special someone who has love to give to an older dog?  She can be cautious around new people, but given a few minutes Chula will start working her magic on you.  Chula’s ideal home will be an older family without small children and no cats or small dogs.  She enjoys playing with toys and Chance in the rescue’s exercise yard.  She would love and needs to have a home with a fenced yard with perhaps a companion dog so they can play and explore the yard together.  Chula is a beautiful Shar Pei/lab mix who weighs  61.2 pounds.  She has a thyroid issue, so she has to have thyroid pills twice a day.  Are you wanting a partner to watch TV with?  Chula is ready!  You can apply for Chula at www.adoggie4you.org and arrange a meet and greet.  Chula’s adoption fee is $250.  If you would consider adopting both Chula and Chance, the adoption fee would be $300. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 26, 2024, 12:17 pm
