Story
Beautiful, Inside and Out! That’s me, I’ve been named appropriately, “Bella”. If I do say so myself, I am “Beautiful” as my name means in 8 different languages. As a 5 year old Lab/pit bull terrier mix weighing approx. 40#.  I have what it take to be a great companion. The young “Chippies” have nothing over me. I’ve learned from the best and eager to please. Crate trained, house trained and leash trained, there is a lot that can be said for a “Mature” girl with a HUGE HEART for her people. “What else can we do together to pass the time and bond?”, you ask. Well, let me tell you. This time of year SWIMMING is my #1 love next to my person. Then there is Playing Fetch. Finally, Playing Fetch that includes, you guessed it, SWIMMING!!!!! As the weather cools, I also love the “GFAW” words.. what’s that?? “Go For A Walk”. Then there is the “GFAR”. Have you guessed what that means? “Go For A Ride”, could split a "Pup-a-Chino"! Ok, I think you are getting the handle of my personality. Then the finale test is “TANWMP”. What? YIKES! Do I have you stumped???? “Take A Nap With My Person”! Ha, Ha, Ha!!!! Life is Good! I do have a down side I must admit. My past was not always kind. Although I have been around other dogs, I sometimes am unpredictable due to my unknown history. So, I need to be a single dog to love and cherish my owners by myself and a fenced yard to ensure no mishaps occur with other dogs. I can walk past other dogs and remain VERY WELL BEHAVED, but for some reason, I just don’t tolerate living or spending time with other dogs. I ENJOY “MY PEOPLE” and “WANT THEM ALL TO MYSELF”! Guess that makes me a “People Pleaser”!!! So there you have it.. I didn’t hold back my true self, hide my flaws or pull any paw punches. I am “Bella”, a simple gal that is a LMP - “Love My People” ATMS - “All To My Self” kind of Gal!  Bella has been spayed and is ready for a home of her own. The adoption fee is $275  To submit an adoption application, visit mollysplacerescue.org. Fill the form out completely, print, scan and email back to mollysplace@verizon.net. You must obtain pre-approval prior to visiting the dog or cat. Adoptions fees include the following:    spay/neuter surgery,  microchip and registration,  age appropriate vaccinations,  initial dewormings,  Activyl for fleas,  tested for FeLV and FIV (cats only),  bubble bath prior to going home (dogs only) WE do not "HOLD" animals without an approved application and a non-refundable/non-transferable paid adoption fee.  Adoptions are on a first come, first serve basis.  We can not send extra pictures.  WE do not ship, you must pick up the pet.  Kitties must be transported in a secure cat carrier.   Pooches require a "martingale" collar and a non-retractable leash. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 9:38 pm

Story
Meet Cara, a sweet 4-5 year old, gorgeous brindle girl, a total 'love bug' that knows basic commands, who really is her name defined: friend, loving, dear one, darling, and beloved.Cara asked us to share the following with you:'...I know it is surprising that someone like me, well-mannered and knowing basic commands, was found as a stray and no one came to get me. Don't feel sad for a minute. I am a 'glass overflowing' gal. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and my FURever family will find me through this bio. I know it. I feel it in my perfect brindle body.No one wants to brag but I LOVE MY HUMANZ. I never met one I didn't love. Due to the language barrier and the fact that I cannot speak English YET, they aren't sure how I would do in a house with other dogs, but I do seem dog friendly here with the dogs I have met. Cats, well, while they are 'cute,' they are not my thing. I find their slick and quick movements to be a little 'much' for me.I love walking. I love smelling grass. I love relaxing and love nothing more than cuddling up to you and listening to your heartbeat. I am adventurous yet love a lazy Sunday. I am active yet love snoring contests. I love treats and I am eager to please & learn. I love squeaky toys and I love water!Like most humans, I love to hear myself talk/bark, let's just combine the words to create a new word 'tark.' I love tarking in the car. Put on your favorite tune and we can tark together. My vocals have been compared to the legendary Janis Joplin. I have a 'horse' tark so it is sweet and cute. I don't try to be cute, but it does come naturally for me.Again, I am not trying to be conceited but I need you to be able to get the full picture here, I have been called a 'volunteer favorite (don't tell the others on my block),' have EARS for YEARS, the cutest brindle butt (whatever that means), and eyes that will melt your soul.I am ready to find my FURever family and love them more than they knew possible. If you are interested meeting or adopting the (perfect) me, please go to our website: www.crcpa.org. Unconditionally yours, Cara...'

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.10/27 STILL AVAILABLE  8/30/24 Poundcake and Shortbread have been with me in rescue since they were 8wks old. They will be a year old in a few weeks. These sweet girls have spina bifida which has left them completely incontinent. Other than incontinence, they have no other health problems. They are so deserving of a good life and forever home. They do well with diapers but require frequent changes because they are constantly dribbling. It would be helpful to express their bladders fully before diapering, to reduce their output. They currently sleep in a crate with a grate in bottom to stay clean. And they spend time on my porch which can be hosed off, on nice days. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to devote the time they deserve. They are SO SWEET. They love each other dearly and can not be separated. They are excellent with other dogs of all sizes. They currently weigh about 45-50 lbs. They are spayed and up to date on everything. If anyone is interested in giving them a good forever home, this is the adoption application. https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message us or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.    Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.
