Story
MEET ME IN NEW YORK. I just moved here!! Howdy Doody Northeastern people, I’m a very handsome 1-1/2-year-old, 45 lb male Shar Pei mix, now named Freedom, and for a very good reason! I was living in Atascosa, Texas, and being abused by my owner. Frequently, the neighbors would see me being beaten, and one day, when the opportunity presented itself, one of the neighbors took me. Not only was I finally free and finally safe, but my owners didn’t even care. They never asked about me or looked for me, so a few weeks later, I was taken in by 4 Little Paws Rescue and sent to a foster home. I am now vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, happy, and healthy, and although I am missing some teeth and still have some scars from a dog who attacked me, I am a very grateful boy, and am dreaming of a loving forever home! It turns out I am the sweetest, nicest, friendliest dog, and I love everyone… all humans, other dogs, and kitty cats. My foster mom says I wake up every morning in a happy mood, greeting her with my goofy smile, and lots of wagging and body wiggles. Yes, I am a dog who smiles when feeling happy or getting treats, and I also love to share kisses. What can I say?.. My heart is full of love, and I am very affectionate. I am also very nicely behaved, housebroken, and I know how to use a doggy door. I’m not really into dog toys, but I am into playtime with my dog friends, running zoomies, chasing tennis balls, going for walks, and rides in the car. I will make a wonderful forever dog, so inquire about me today! * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Story
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.This is Odin. He has a sad history involving being drug behind a vehicle for refusing to fight in the pit that his owner threw him into. But we aren't here to talk about his past. That's behind him now. We want to focus on the present and his future. He is so very cuddly. His motto is that personal space is over rated and there's no such thing as too close. He is fantstic with kids and absolutely loved all the attention and face kisses he received from his tiny visitors recently, ages 3 and 5 years old. He would love nothing more than to be someone’s little spoon for the rest of his days! I included the last picture of just a few of his scars to show he has not had an easy life. Cruelly tortured by humans, YET is so desperate for love and snuggles. His true nature of a lover, not a fighter has won out, and he is a survivor! He does fine with other non aggressive dogs, he's mostly uninterested in them and really just wants all the humans' attention. With proper introduction, we believe he would be happy in a home with another that would allow him to be the attention hog. We believe Odin is about 2 years old and he weighs about 65 lbs. He is fully vetted. Odin is located in Arkansas. He can be adopted locally, but transport is available to the New England area as well. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NY, or CT on Saturdays. To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message us or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions. : Big Sweeties Photography working her magic on this handsome boy!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.

While she’s a friendly and loving dog, she does have a strong instinct to chase smaller animals, so a cat-free home is a must.Cherry is housebroken, spayed, and up-to-date on all her vaccinations, making her ready to move into her forever home.If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and devoted companion, Cherry might be the perfect match for you! Let her bring love, laughter, and a whole lot of happiness into your life. Will you be the one to give this amazing girl the loving home she truly deserves?Located in Houston, Texas.

Story
Meet Rumples – the Smart, Sweet Companion You’ve Been Waiting For Rumples is an incredibly loving and intuitive pup who’s eager to find a family of her very own. This bright girl is “smart as a whip” and has a knack for reading the room—whether it’s time to play, time to snuggle, or time to settle in for a nap, she always seems to know just what her people need. Rumples is fully potty trained, sleeps quietly through the night in bed with her foster family, and is also kennel trained, making her an easy addition to almost any household. In her foster home in Portland, Oregon, Rumples enjoys romping around with her doggy siblings and would love a home where playtime is part of the daily routine. She’s a big fan of chew toys and can keep herself happily entertained, whether she’s tossing a toy in the air or settling in for a good chew beside you. Her adaptable, affectionate nature would make her a wonderful fit for a variety of homes—whether you have other dogs, a playful household, or a quieter environment with plenty of love to give. Rumples is ready to join her forever family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will love you endlessly, learn quickly, and bring joy to your days, Rumples might just be your perfect match.
