Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Mr. Bean is a senior Boston Terrier who lived inside a home in a hoarding situation until his owner had to go to a nursing home, at which point someone came by once a week and put food out for the dogs. We heard the odor in the home was horrific. Someone finally stepped in and took charge of the situation. All of the dogs were in such bad shape that all but Mr. Bean had to be euthanized. When he was initially taken by a good Samaritan who wanted to get him in to a rescue, she noticed blood in his urine. He was put on an antibiotic and that has completely cleared up. We were asked to take him into our rescue and when we met those big beautiful eyes, staring up into ours we just couldn’t say no. He is the sweetest little guy ever, in spite of the rough existence he endured. He is gaining weight and his appetite is good. On 11/6 he weighed 14.2 pounds and was previously guesstimated to be between 7-9 years old but our vet thinks he is 9+. Our vet heard a heart murmur so he is now on blood pressure medication to help with that and a diuretic to help with his cough. Mr. Bean has decreased hearing and the beginnings of cataracts. He had one very dirty ear so an ear medication was prescribed to clear that up. He walks well on a leash, rides well in a crate in the car and gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. He will need a dental. Due to his increased age he will not be considered a good candidate for homes with children. A fenced yard is required. The adoption donation for Mr. Bean is $225. If you would like to adopt Mr. Bean, please complete the first step in the adoption process by filling out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here.
An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember our organization is staffed completely by volunteers.
Please Note: All applications are processed in the order received, but an adoption is made to the best application received for each of our animals. All applicants must provide a vet reference on the adoption application. If you are adopting a dog from ARFA, a fenced in yard for the dog will be required. Home visits often occur with each adoption. ARFA has the right to deny adoption to any applicant for any reason without explanation. Please remember that the adoption donation is not for purchase of a dog, but rather to cover the medical cost of all dogs in our care.
THE FINE PRINT
1. Animal Rescue Fund Arkansas reserves the right to deny any application, for any reason without explanation to the applicant.
2. You understand that we often take many applications on the same animal and that they are processed in the order that they come in. An application is in no way a reservation for any animal or a guarantee that you will be selected to adopt the animal.
3. If your application Is approved, you will be asked to sign a separate adoption contract.
4. Once the trial period is over, usually 1 week unless there are special circumstances, the adoption donation cannot be returned to you for any reason. It will have been used to help rescue another homeless animal and is no longer available therefore, if you return the dog to us for any reason, you will not be refunded your donation.
5. If the animal you want to adopt is placed in another home, you can transfer your application to another A.R.F.A. animal without completing additional paperwork.
6. You understand that this is a rescued pet. We rarely have any information about their past life circumstances. We have all animals examined by a vet, brought up to date on shots, given their rabies vaccine, spayed/neutered (If old enough), wormed and checked for heartworms and if positive begin treatment. We do our best to ensure that we are placing healthy pets but can make no guarantee to the health or temperament of this pet, and vet expenses are the responsibility of the adoptive family from the date of the adoption. We require that you take the pet to a vet within one week of adoption for a check-up and to allow your vet to get a baseline for your new pet’s health.
