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.

11/25/11 Boots is a young Blue Heeler/Australian Shepherd mix rescued after being tied to a tree on a 5-ft tether for a month. We estimate his date of birth to be March 2011. He is neutered, current on vaccinations and parasite negative. He has a soft, thick, medium-length wavy coat, which may require minimal grooming. He is not quite fully grown, but should reach 38-42 lb at full maturity. The first thing to know about Boots is that he is phenomenally intelligent. Within 1-1/2 weeks after being rescued, he was crate-trained (for bedding down at night), leash-trained and for the most part, house-trained. He is learning to sit instead of jumping up to greet. He is a sweet, friendly, affectionate dog. The most important thing to Boots is being with his human. He lives with 11 other rescue dogs at his foster home and has learned to play well with them, but he resents other dogs who interfere in his personal “hug-time” with his human.  He needs some space from the other dogs during mealtime as well. He has even learned to live with the cats. Although he is not exposed to children in his current environment, he would likely do well with older, gentler children, as opposed to toddlers. More than anything, Boots wants what we all want – to be loved and appreciated for who he is.  In an environment where he can get the love and attention he needs, there are no limits to how wonderful he could be.  For more information, please emial kelley.aasr@gmail.com Boots is located in ARkansas but will be transported to the northeast once adopted.

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.
