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.

1/8/13 Libby was an "owned" dog. She belonged to some people here in Arkansas, who didn't think she was worth the few dollars it would take to feed her every day. Paying for her to be spayed or have any other vet care was out of the question. This poor girl became pregnant and had her babies in mid November. Libby was smart enough to not have her babies on the property where her owners lived - she went to a neighbor's and gave birth to them under a shed. Libby tried hard to provide for her babies but it's hard when you don't get fed and have to fend for yourself. She did a good job though - her babies were all fat and healthy when we rescued them. But Libby was so thin! It really took a toll on her little body to have to take care of so many babies all on her own. When the neighbor called me to get the babies, it was the day after a terrible ice storm had hit the area, and we had to lie on the ice and crawl under the shed to get the babies, because they were too scared to come out. But once we got them out they were just fine. Just as I was getting the last couple of puppies out, Libby saw us from the neighboring property and came to investigate what was going on with her babies. I had been told that she wouldn't allow anyone to touch or catch her. That was not the case. Libby came right to me and there was no way I could leave her behind, so we rescued the whole little family! Libby is a total love. She is a little cautious with new people but it doesn't take her long to warm up. Her babies are sweet and cute little bundles. We are not sure of their heritage - not even sure of Libby's breed. We think Libby may be a catahoula and the puppies are probably mixed with lab. These babies are now about 8 weeks old (as of 1/8/13) and will be ready to go to their new homes on 1/19. They are located in Arkansas and will be transported to the northeast once adopted. For more info, email kelley.aasr@gmail.com

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.
