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. ***This dog is currently located in Arkansas. He/She is listed in all the states we offer transport to or near. Transport is provided by .heartsllc or .alphadogtransport once there is an adopter ready to accept the dog. Meeting the dog prior to adopting is simply not possible, unless you want to come to Arkansas (we would be thrilled to have you, if you want to do some traveling!)Please check the websites referenced to see if one of our transporters offers a stop close to you. We do offer a refund and to take the dog back into rescue, if he/she is not as described or not a good fit for you, if you let us know within a week of receiving him/her. Please understand, we are listing our available dogs anywhere we can, to offer them the best chance of finding the right family and having a happy life filled with love.*** 4/17/19 Lucy is such a sweet girl and is so deserving of a loving family of her own. She came into rescue when we took her from a high kill shelter in San Antonio, TX. She is now located in a foster home in AR. Lucy was in the shelter with her one baby that she came in with. We don't know what happened to her other babies, but she and her little Frankie clung to eachother desperately in that shelter. Lucy knew that neither of them were safe. Lucy had no hair at that time. She was malnourished and had demodex mange, complicated by nursing her fat little baby. Now that she is in a foster home where she is treated like royalty, she is thriving. Her hair has grown in and it is baby soft. Little Frankie was adopted about a short time ago, and now it is Lucy's turn to find her happy ever after. Lucy is house trained and she does fine with cats, as well as other dogs as long as they are calm and they are not in her face trying to play. She is not really the playing type, she is more content to snuggle on the bed or sofa and enjoy quiet time. She would be fine with older kids but needs a home that is quiet, as lots of commotion makes her nervous. She would be excellent for a retired person. She is very loving and gets emotionally attached quickly, to those who are kind to her. She does have some separation anxiety so she would do best in a home where she doesn't have to spend long periods home alone. She is very attached to her foster family but will adjust with patience, time, and kindness. She is a beautiful girl who is about 4-5 years old, with a much older soul. She has been through a lot and we promised her it was all up from here! Lucy would love to have someone who will allow her to snuggle in the bed and sofa with them. Her favorite all time activity is cuddling. She also enjoys a good squirrel chase occasionally. :) If you are interested in knowing more about Lucy, email kelley.aasrgmail Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $300-$350, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $250. This includes spay/neuter if old enough, (If not old enough for spay/neuter, the puppy will be adopted on a spay/neuter contract, which will require the adopter to have him/her spayed/neutered no later than 6 months of age), up to date 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 $140 per dog. We use Uber Dog Animal Rescue Transport, and you can see more about them at .uberdogart. For more info regarding adopting, email kelley.aasrgmail. Thank you for considering one of our rescue babies!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
