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.

11/4/14 Payton may look a bit like a pit bull but she is actually a Pug/Lab cross. She is a very fun loving, friendly girl who is in a dangerous situation. Payton came into the shelter as an owner surrender due to financial constraints. And now her life is in danger. The shelter where she is located is in a very rural part of Arkansas. The shelter gets little or no foot traffic so the dogs there are not seen by potential adopters. To make matters worse, the person who is paid to look after and care for the dogs does not do a good job and as a result, the dogs are suffering and living in filthy conditions. Because of the conditions, on the rare occasion that a potential adopter does stop by, they usually leave without ever meeting the dogs because they are repulsed by the conditions that they see. There is a group of volunteers who are trying to improve things at the shelter, but at the moment the most important thing is to get these dogs out of there. You see, the shelter is filling up more every day. Once it is full, they will euthanize the dogs, starting with whoever has been there the longest. Payton has been there for a couple of months already and needs out or she will be at the top of the list.

Payton is about a year old and weighs about 45lbs.  She loves everyone she meets and her favorite thing in the world is belly rubs. We really don't know a lot about her other than that, but she is a volunteer favorite which tells me that there is something really special about her. Her personality sets her apart and she will make a wonderful companion. Payton will be transported to the northeast once we have a foster or adopter committed to her.

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.
