My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have 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.



Here’s Houston! He started at Arkansas Paws in Prison Foundation this week. He will graduate in mid December and we’re hoping he’ll have an adopter ready and waiting for him!

While at Paws in Prison, Houston will work daily with an inmate on basic commands, skills, house training, and maybe even a few tricks! The dogs and inmate trainers meet weekly with a dog trainer. When he graduates, he will have his canine good citizen certificates and will be ready to go to new homes!

Before going to prison, Houston was fostered on a horse farm with his littermates. He was around several other animals at the farm. He is great with other dogs and cats. He hasn’t been around kids but he is just a baby so we think he’ll be just fine with kids.

From Paws in Prison-
When you’re a farm puppy with a big heart and huge metropolitan potential, it seems only fitting that you have a big city name. So, here’s Houston, the boy with dreams of a better life. He doesn’t care where his home is. In town or down a country road, either one is good as long as he’s loved. Houston is a 4-month-old lab mixed with something else. Maybe a bully breed or maybe not. He’s a sweet, sensitive and friendly pup who bonds quickly and plays nicely. He is about 25 pounds and we expect him to be about 50 pounds full grown.

Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations.
Harrisburg, PA 2am Fridays
Port Jervis, NY 5am Fridays or
Southington, CT 8am Fridays

More about this rescue

Adopt-A-Stray was founded in Jan. 2010, by Kelley Prichard. Since then, it has grown to include a few wonderful volunteers who work very hard to help ensure that our pets are place in loving, forever homes. We are based in Alexander, AR, but we list all of our available pets in the northeast. We work with several different transporters to get our babies to their new homes in the northeast once they are adopted. The transporter we use most often Pack Leaders (www.plrdogtransport.com). All pets are given age appropriate vaccinations before they leave. Every pet is seen by our vet prior to transport. If you see a pet listed that interests you, please be sure to read the description thoroughly and inquire to the email address listed. Thank you for considering a rescue dog!
