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.

Mariah is a 4 yr old American Eskimo Dog who comes to us as a "breeder sellout." We took many dogs from this breeder to prevent them from going to a puppy mill, which is where they were headed if rescue had not intervened. Mariah is a gentle soul who is shy, likely due to living her life as a breeder. We are confident that once she is settled in a home of her she will come out of her shell. Her foster has many dogs currently so having one on one time with any of them is a challenge. This is not the best setting for a shy dog who needs to learn that she is safe and start to open up. Although she is shy, she is very sweet. She will let you cut her nails, brush her beautiful coat, or do anything, and she never offers to bite or even growl. She is very docile. Mariah is currently in a foster home with a 10 yr old little girl who she does well with, as well as many other dogs and a couple of cats who think they are dogs. Mariah weighs roughly 20lbs and is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on prevention, spayed, and microchipped. She is using puppy pads (its hard to housetrain with multiple untrained dogs in the home). She does well in a crate. Mariah's adoption fee is $500, and transport is $140.

We realize these fees are more than most of our dogs. These dogs would cost far more if you purchased them from a breeder and they would not be fully vetted. We believe these fees are fair to all involved, and the fees will go towards helping maintain the longer term dogs that are in our rescue for sometimes years. No matter how long a dog is with us, we provide their food, monthly heartworm and flea/tick meds, and any other care they may need. None of this is free, we have to pay for everything just like anyone would have to. We appreciate your understanding and support.
