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.



Blueberry is a 4 yr old male dachshund mix. He came into rescue a few months back. He had lived his entire life chained to a tree and his collar grew into his neck, which required surgical intervention. His wound is healed but he is left with a scar.Blueberry is 30 lbs - but he is very low to the ground. He is a happy, friendly boy who loves everyone and is eager to learn. He is crate trained and never has accidents in his crate. He is very food motivated so training should be easy for him.  He has a weird coat which we believe is due to dilute alopecia. He had almost no hair at all when he came to us, and his skin was severely sunburned, but it is slowly growing in. He may never have a thick coat. Dilute alopecia occurs in some dogs that are gray in color, it is a result of the genetics that create that color. It requires no treatment. Blueberry is good with other dogs. Blueberry started at the Paws in Prison program on 10/23/24. While there, he will work daily with an inmate on the basics and maybe even a few tricks, and  meet weekly with a dog trainer. In about 8 weeks he will graduate with his canine good citizen certificate and will be ready to go to a new home! 

Neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

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!
