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.

6/1/24 Meet Ash! Ash came into rescue in May, after being a street dog for 3 years. She has lived in one neighborhood during that time, and several of the residents have fed her and sort of looked out for her. But no one cared enough to make her theirs. So she went thru the cold of winters, the heat of summers, and all the various storms we have here in Arkansas, alone. She had a litter of puppies a few months ago, and that is when a resident in the area contacted us. They wanted us to just help find homes for the puppies, but we don't leave mamas behind. So we did find homes for the babies once they were vetted, and when we went to pick them up, we took Ash with us, too. She has now been vetted including vaccinations, microchip, and spay. She is unfortunately heartworm positive and will begin treatment for that soon. Ash is crate trained. She is an unassuming, quiet, low key kind of girl, with a heart of gold. Ash is very grateful for every good thing given to her. She knows she needed to be rescued and she's happy to have a safe, cool place to crash. She doesn't ask for much, just safety, food, and a little affection makes her a happy girl. We believe she is about 4 years old and is a lab mix. She is good with other dogs. Ash is currently enrolled in the Paws in Prison program where she is paired with an inmate who works with her daily. They also meet with a dog trainer once a week. While at Paws in Prison, the inmates work on the basics and usually some tricks! When she graduates, she will have passed her canine good citizen test. She will graduate in about 8 weeks!

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.
