Story

Please contact Jetta (Jetta.elliott@att.net) for more information about this pet.Super sweet male pitbull about a year oldMessage Jetta.elliott@att.net. Scout is the absolute sweetest boy ever. A little Chihuahua bossed him around with Jo push back. Seriously he’s a sweetheart. He is not aggressive towards other dogs, Katz or anything else, And yes, he is bullied by a little Chihuahua. Absolute love bug. Attached like glue. Never leaves the yard where he lives (no fence). This guy is looking for children to play with. The rescue says he absolutely loves children and a home with children would be the best home for him. But he’s with a lady now and he definitely wants to be her full-time companion… So that would work too. He is about a year old. Currently located in Harrison, Arkansas, but would be brought to you via the rescue network transport. This guy is an absolute gem.April 3, 2026, 11:06 pm

Story

Moonie (aka Moo Moo) is the sweetest girl, she loves to be pet and cuddled and thinks she’s a lap dog. We got her from someone posting her and her siblings online and drove 2 hours to get her! We unexpectedly found out a few months later I was pregnant with our 4th child and life seems to be a lot busier now than ever and just can’t give her the time or proper care she deserves. We would love for Moonie to go to someone who can give her all the attention she needs. It would be ideal if you had a backyard or land she could run in but of course is not a deal breaker if you have the time and patience to take her for long walks and all the play time!

Story

Meet Tyson 🐶💙 Tyson is a sweet, energetic Jack Russell looking for a loving new home. He’s fully house trained, loves playing with his toys, and has a lot of fun running and exploring outside. He also does great with other dogs and enjoys having a playmate. I’m sadly needing to rehome him because it’s become a bit overwhelming caring for a dog while raising two toddlers. Tyson truly is a good dog and deserves a home where he can get the time, attention, and play he loves. Small rehoming fee to ensure he goes to a good, loving home.
