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.

“Hi, I’m Mariel – a 10-month-old cattle dog mix currently being fostered in Boston, MA. I’m a small/medium girl (about 30 lbs) and don’t have plans for getting much bigger.  I recently moved up here from Arkansas where I spent most of my puppyhood. Boy, is the big city life different! There are lots of new sites and sounds and smells to check out, and I was pretty scared at first, but my foster mom says I have adjusted quickly. First of all, I walk very nicely on leash already and caught on to housetraining right away. I still get nervous when a group of college boys come zooming down my hill on skateboards, or when strangers come running up, saying “Oooooh, puppy!!!!” But, I’m getting more confident every day.  I’m living with a foster dog brother and we play a lot. I’m also living with a 10-year-old boy who I was a little scared of at first (because he can be kind of loud and fast moving) but I’ve figured out he’s okay. I really love my foster mom & dad – they can do anything to me – handle my paws, roll me over for a belly rub, pull on my soft, velvety ears, and I’m cool with it. I love cuddling with them. They tell me what a pretty girl I am, with my fawn-like markings and black eyeliner. They also tell me what a smart girl I am – and that I am a bit of a goofball – well, hey, I am still a puppy! I would love to be in a home with older kids (the really fast moving little ones still tend to startle me) and a confident doggie sibling if possible (though I could also be happy being the only dog in the house – either way). I haven’t really experienced cats yet, so not sure what I think of them.  In all, I’m a shy country gal who is blossoming beautifully. Come visit me!" For more info, email kelley.aasr@gmail.com.

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.
