Linny, the Lhasa, is a character. He is very smart and seems to know what you are saying to him. When he was rescued, we were told he was so badly matted, that he could hardly move. His rescuers were going to keep him but he did not do well being crated over 8 hours while they were at work. He stressed out so badly they were afraid for his safety, so they transferred to him to us to find a wonderful home for him. Linny is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative and being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. He was thought to be a Shih Tzu but our vet thinks this white with black little guy with 1 blue eye, is a Lhasa Apso because of his size. He was guesstimated to be about 4 years old on 1/19/23. He also weighed 19.5 pounds at that time. Linny gets along well with other dogs and LOVES to ride in the car and go for walks. Linny will only be considered for homes with a fenced yard and where someone is always home. His foster mom says he loves to greet the kids in the neighborhood when out for walks, but as we do not know about his background, he will not be considered for homes with young children. Linny is located in Arkansas. The adoption donation for Linny is $350 If you are interested in adopting Linny, 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.
