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.



PLEASE SH@RE!! 12/27/24 Meet Carob! He is currently only about 5-6 weeks old. (These pictures were taken 2 weeks ago, we'll get some new ones soon). While he won't be ready for adoption for a bit, adoptions are slow so we want to get these pups out there now in hopes that they'll all have homes to go to once they are ready.

His foster mom says he is a playful and curious boy! 

Mama is a mixed breed, maybe Lab mix? But her babies look very much like Shepherd mixes.  She about 40 pounds. We do not know who/what dad was.

Mama, Autumn, and her pups are in a wonderful foster home where they are getting lots of love and attention!

Carob is one of 7 pups. Prior to adoption, we will have them all up to date on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, spayed/neutered, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

It's quite a story of how Umber and his siblings came into rescue. Our amazing rescue director, Kelley, was out running errands about a month ago. She was traveling a very busy highway when she saw a dog on the side of the road who had clearly had puppies recently. She tried to get the dog to come to her with no luck. She went and bought dog food and went back to the area where she'd seen the Mama dog and left it for her. In the meantime, Kelley had posted about seeing the Mama. Later on, someone reported they'd seen the mama on the side of the road, deceased. Long story short, that turned out not to be true (maybe it was a deer deceased on the side of the road?). Someone alerted us where they thought mama lived. It was cold out that night and Kelley was so worried wondering where the mama and her pups were, if they had shelter etc. So, Kelley did what she always does and headed out late Saturday night with a friend to go find mama and pups. She went to the area she was told she might live. It was not a very safe area, but Kelley went anyway. There were several campers all parked in this area. Kelley knocked on a few doors and nobody knew the dog. So she went searching through the woods, nothing. The food she'd left hadn't been touched. After searching for awhile, she went back to the campers and ended up finding the owner of the mama. There she with 7 pups in a dog house. Thankfully the owner let Kelley take mama and all the pups. One of our wonderful foster families took them in and the rest is history.

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!
