Bobby is just the sweetest little boy. He's 6-8 months old and weighs 40 pounds. Tan and white. Likely a Staffy. He has a very mellow temperament and gets along with my two female dogs. He is a fast learner and eager to please. He's already learned the "sit" command and to walk on a leash. He did well staying in my fenced-in yard and sleeping in the barn the first night but I brought him in when it started raining and he's doing great in the house as well. He is sleeping in a crate with no issues and waits to go outside to go potty. He's going to make a great, very cuddly, household pet.
Bobby’s rescuer took him to the vet to get Nexguard and they are going back on Monday, 2/12, to get a heartworm test, all of the necessary puppy vaccines, and deworming. He will be neutered soon. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here.
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.
