Story
🚨 Urgent Foster or Forever Home Needed 🚨 Meet Blocker, a young male pitbull (we think) mix born in Nov. 2023, who has faced a tough start to life. After losing his mom tragically at just three weeks old, Blocker was raised on a chain, neglected, & is now looking for a second chance at a loving home. FUN FACT: Blocker was born under the house Dan BLOCKER (Hoss Cartwright) was born in. Despite his challenging upbringing, Blocker is incredibly sweet & affectionate. He is great with kids & other dogs, though his interaction with cats is unknown. Blocker loves people a bit too enthusiastically and tends to jump up in excitement, so he will benefit from some training to polish his manners. Blocker has not been neutered yet, but he’s full of potential and just needs a patient, understanding family to help him learn and thrive. If you’re ready to give this loving boy the life he deserves, please reach out. Let’s find Blocker a home where he can be part of a loving family he's always needed.

Story
Please contact Jeff Tarpley (JEFFnTEXARKANA@aol.com) for more information about this pet.Wishbone and Wanda are the cutest little bonded pair out there. Wishbone is a red piebald Dachshund (or mix). He is about 3 years old and he weighs 15 pounds. Wanda is a female mix breed. She is about 5 years old and she weighs 14 pounds. Both are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, tested heartworm negative and on heartworm preventive. They are ready for adoption. Wishbone and Wanda found themselves at a shelter in central Arkansas after their owner passed away. Upon coming to our rescue it was immediately apparent they are a bonded pair. Wishbone was protective of Wanda in the shelter but very loving right away with his rescue family. Wanda was scared and withdrawn at the shelter but opened up and relaxed quickly once in a home. They have been such a fun pair. Wanda had skin issues and hair loss that made her at first look like an older dog, but with some meds, Bravecto and skin sensitive food she has filled out her weight and has grown/is growing hair in all the affected places. Wanda is turning out to be a pretty little gal with an expressive face. Wishbone, healthy from the first, likes to explore and walks better on a leash (Wanda tends to pull). Wishbone and Wanda kennel together at night. They’ve never had a crate or potty accident. Wanda and Wishbone are never far apart. Both are affectionate and love to be cuddlers and couch buddies with their people. They deserve a great home and have plenty to offer in return. Adoption fee is $300.

Story
Jimmy is a male white with tan/yellow undetermined mixed breed. He is 5 years old and he weighs 32 pounds. Jimmy is neutered and vaccinated including rabies. Jimmy is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Jimmy is ready for adoption. Jimmy originally was adopted 5 years ago as a puppy. He was Jimmy Stewart from the Hollywood litter. Through family changes he ended up in a home with two larger dogs which the family determined wasn’t a good fit for Jimmy, so he was returned to us. Jimmy was happy as an only dog and is used to living in a family with adults and children. He seems fine with other dogs, but he is unsure about them on first meeting and needs time to develop a friendship. He responds differently to each dog personality and we are sure there are plenty of dogs he would like, but he doesn’t need them to be halls in a home. Jimmy pulls a little in the leash but is pretty walkable. He doesn’t love the kennel but he is fine when kenneled. Jimmy is house trained. We know Jimmy was taken care of and went to the same vet clinic yearly during his five years after adoption. Jimmy’s overall personality is a little reserved and shy, but once he trusts you he gives kisses and enjoys cuddles and a good scratch all over. Jimmy is a good size, right on the borderline of small and medium, so he fits inside the home easily without being underfoot all the time. Jimmy needs a person or a family that will give him a minute to acclimate to the new surroundings but will engage with him and talk to him as he learns to relax and feel safe. Jimmy does know his name. Adoption fee is $125.

Annie is a female tan with white mix breed. She is 2 years old and she weighs 36 pounds. Annie is spayed and vaccinated including rabies. Annie is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Annie is ready for adoption. Annie is people and dog friendly, and only mildly curious about the cat. Annie was owner surrendered (through no fault of Annie’s) by the person who has had her since she was 10 weeks old so she is pretty unsure what has happened, but even with being nervous and unsure she has been sweet. Annie doesn’t know her own strength and needs any other dogs to get her size or larger and robust for play. Annie is potty and kennel trained. She pulls mightily on a leash and is spooked by cars driving by. Annie knows her name, knows sit, and could learn so much more. We think Annie would do best with a fenced back yard for her and a friend to play in. Adoption fee is $150.

Story
Shady and Romeo are the most gorgeous bonded. Shady is a female dachshund with the prettiest color that first seems black but is really a rich brown…and the reason for her name. She is about 6-7 years old and she weighs 12 pounds. Romeo is a dark dapple Dachshund with blue in one eye. He is about 6-7 years old and he weighs 12 pounds. Both are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, tested heartworm negative and on heartworm preventive. Romeo had a back surgery years back (scar visible on his back) and has a permanent wobble in his wiggle (see video). He would benefit from ramps or easy stairs, good supervision, and crating when not being supervised, to avoid injury. This beautiful pair are ready for adoption. Romeo and Shady made their way to rescue when their dad’s health failed and he required constant care himself. They were very loved and well cared for. The two have very different personalities. Romeo is outgoing, vocal, and confident. He LOVES treats. Shady is a gentle soul who gets very nervous of new situations and takes a good deal of time and patience to warm up and relax. Both are sweet without a mean bone anywhere. They had a few potty accidents early on but we have a better idea now of a schedule that works for them. Romeo needs a couple more potty breaks each day than some dogs, so he would have an easier time with someone who is home or who can let him out about every four hours. Romeo walks on a harness. Shady will too, but she is so skittish in new situations we would not move too quickly to walks in public, and take double care to make sure she is secure and can’t slip her lead. Romeo and Shady enjoy the company of other small, older/calm dogs (no bouncy friends!). They also have experience around family children but we would prefer a home with adults. Adoption fee is $400.
