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.

3/15/2016 Meet Junior, aka J.R. Junior was rescued from a high kill shelter in Arkansas. He came into rescue absolutely terrified (as you can see in the last picture, taken the day of his rescue) but has done very well in his foster home. His foster mom works from home so she is available to take him outside to potty frequently and has had no accidents in the house. He is on a strict routine and his new family will need to understand that he needs a routine in order to feel secure. He may have accidents at first until he learns the new routine but should learn it quickly and be fine after that. Junior loves to hang out in his foster mom's home office, in his doggy bed. He also enjoys his crate, which is left open for him. At first, he took some coaxing to come out of his crate but has gotten better at that as he has learned to trust his foster mom. He also has recently begun to enjoy having visitors over and will show them affection when they are interested in him. Junior gets along very well with the other dogs in his foster home and his foster mom also has several cats which he is unconcerned with. He has not shown any aggression to anyone. Junior prefers to be within eyesight of his person as much as possible and gets extremely anxious if left outside without his foster mom. He much prefers leash walks rather than being loose in the fenced yard. He has just never had a loving family and now that he has someone showing him love, he doesn't want to lose it. He will need a transition period once adopted. He will need time to understand that his new family will be loving to him, just as his foster mom has been. But if you are willing to give him the time to adjust, he will repay you with a lifetime of unconditional love. He will be well worth the effort. Junior is about 1 1/2 years old and weighs about 40lbs. He is neutered, up to date on shots, and heartworm negative. Junior is located in a foster home in Arkansas but out of state transport is available. For more info, email kelley.aasr@gmail.com
