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. 10/9/25 Malcolm! Before anyone says it or thinks it, no that’s not on his bum, that’s just his markings! Malcolm is a graduate of the Paws in Proson program. He was paired with inmate trainers for 8 weeks and lived in the prison with the inmates. They worked with him on all the basics (leash training, house training, basic commands etc). It’s a wonderful program! Malcolm- housetrained, crate trained, leash trained good with other dogs, cats, and kids has mastered all basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, down, come, heel, as well as some fun tricks too. Malcolm is a big boy, but he has no idea he’s not pocket-sized. We believe he is an Akita mix. He's about 1-2 years old and weighs 70 pounds and could add another 5 before the growing is done. He is neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Info from his foster mom- “I have been off most of this week and I can say without a doubt he truly is the big goofball that Paws in Prison said he is! He is doing fine with the cats. It looks like he wants to hurt them the way he bounces, but it is just play. They have met a few times, and he is starting to ignore them. That's where his "bull in a China shop" reputation comes from, I think. He does not know he is big. He loves to snuggle on the couch and in bed. He has not had any accidents. He is awesome in the crate. When I got home from work, he was hyper. He loves long walks, he loves water, and he loooooves men. He is playing well with my dogs, but I think he would also do well as an only dog. I have only been asking him to heel on walks when a car comes. He sniffs and does not pull when he is not in heel. Most people probably think that is good enough, lol. He is a city boy. He got all excited about a dead worm in the road. He leaned his shoulder down into it and rolled. My guys save that kind of energy for bear poo. ” In New England To apply to adopt, please fill out the adoption app: form.jotform/212690945239059 email apps.aasrgmail with any questions Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350.

If you're looking to adopt a dog and don't know where to start, puppyfinder.com is an excellent source for information about adopting a dog and will connect you with hundreds of shelters across the US that have adoptable puppies and older dogs waiting for forever homes.

  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.
