Looking for a fun, loyal best friend? Meet Karma a happy, energetic Akita mix whos ready to bring joy and love to your home!Karma is housebroken, crate-trained, and up-to-date on his vaccines. Hes a playful boy who loves to run, explore, and then curl up for snuggles. He still thinks hes a puppy and doesnt always realize how big he is, so older kids are best for his bouncy enthusiasm.He enjoys other dogs with similar energy (a meet-and-greet is required) and knows his basic commands. Karma hasnt met cats yet, but hes eager to make new friends and learn!Karma is an affectionate, inside dog whos been waiting patiently at the shelter for his second chance. Hes being rehomed through no fault of his own he just needs someone to love him back as much as hell love you.

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. 10/9/25 Malcolm! Before anyone says it or thinks it, no that’s not on his bum, that’s just his markings! Malcolm is a graduate of the Paws in Proson program. He was paired with inmate trainers for 8 weeks and lived in the prison with the inmates. They worked with him on all the basics (leash training, house training, basic commands etc). It’s a wonderful program! Malcolm- housetrained, crate trained, leash trained good with other dogs, cats, and kids has mastered all basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, down, come, heel, as well as some fun tricks too. Malcolm is a big boy, but he has no idea he’s not pocket-sized. We believe he is an Akita mix. He's about 1-2 years old and weighs 70 pounds and could add another 5 before the growing is done. He is neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Info from his foster mom- “I have been off most of this week and I can say without a doubt he truly is the big goofball that Paws in Prison said he is! He is doing fine with the cats. It looks like he wants to hurt them the way he bounces, but it is just play. They have met a few times, and he is starting to ignore them. That's where his 'bull in a China shop' reputation comes from, I think. He does not know he is big. He loves to snuggle on the couch and in bed. He has not had any accidents. He is awesome in the crate. When I got home from work, he was hyper. He loves long walks, he loves water, and he loooooves men. He is playing well with my dogs, but I think he would also do well as an only dog. I have only been asking him to heel on walks when a car comes. He sniffs and does not pull when he is not in heel. Most people probably think that is good enough, lol. He is a city boy. He got all excited about a dead worm in the road. He leaned his shoulder down into it and rolled. My guys save that kind of energy for bear poo. ” In New England To apply to adopt, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions 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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rex is looking for his forever home. He was surrendered at just a mere 8 months old to One Dog at a Time ODAAT because of his severe separation anxiety. He was born in February 2018 and is a Husky, Terrier mix. A lot of people might have given up on Rex. He is deaf, suffered from severe separation anxiety, and had no training whatsoever. But the people at ODAAT believed he'd be a perfect candidate for their training partnership with a local prison, Rockview. Rex learned great basic commands while staying at the prison and a couple of really special ones. He is no longer in the program and is ready for his forever home. Because Rex is deaf, we truly feel he would require another pup to be able to live life to the fullest. Older children only. Rex is protective of his people. He is committed through and through with the person he bonds with. He will require a special family to be able to bring him to his full potential. Rex will not be able to be a social butterfly. If you're looking for a dog that will be a great companion, this is your boy! His best friends are Deitz, Vader and Dugan, three of our ODAAT rescue pups. So if you are in the market for an awesome pair, trio, or quad group... just let us know! Applications can be found at  www.onedogatatime.us.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 19, 2024, 1:35 pm
