Story
Hi, everypawdy! My name is Grace. I'm a beautiful, loving soul who is looking for a family to call my own. Walks, runs, and hikes are a few of my favorite hobbies. Attention and being pet are necessities as well, of course! A good cuddle at the end of a long day will fill me with joy. My foster family says I'm smart as a whip...I already know how to sit, heel, halt, and more! A good treat and some cuddles are enough to motivate to learn like a pro. I love being near my favorite humans, and playing with my favorite toys. If you want a reason to smile every single day, then I am the pup for your family. If you are interested in adopting Grace, please fill out an adoption application at https://bfp.org/rescue/ and email us with questions: adopt@bfp.org. Location: TULSA, OK

Story
Meet Dillon. He's a sweet and energetic 3 year old pitbull mix at around 68 lbs. He absolutely loves love and is a huge cuddle bug. In the time we have had him, he has never known a stranger and wants scratches from every person he meets. He loves any chew toy he can get and will chase any ball you throw though he doesn't quite understand the concept of fetching yet. He is still working on his manners but is very quick to please. We think he would be happiest as a solo dog mainly because he wants all of your attention and love. For more information please message Tonya at 870-318-4161 or email t.maloy@yahoo.com Applications at helprescueark.org

We really need to find her a home. We had another dog lined up to take her place at Paws in Prison but her not being adopted is really throwing a wrench into plans. PLEASE SH@RE. Yes she’s a bully breed, but she is a wonderful dog. She doesn’t ask for much. She’s the perfect size at about 30-35 pounds. She’s about 2 years old. She is good with kids and other dogs. She’s gone through basic training at Paws in Prison. This tiny queen is absolutely adorable with her partially blue eyes. She followed a kid home from a store and no owner ever claimed her. She had a horrible case of mange (as seen in the last few photos) but she has been treated and her hair is growing back in nicely. She still has some patchy spots that need to fill in but she's almost there. Lola is a silly, fun loving, happy girl. She gets along great with other dogs and she is very playful. And she has the CUTEST underbite ever! She has been fully vetted and is ready to find her family! Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.

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.Here we have Sirius! CUTE as can be and does he look like a fun pup or what? Sirius is the only boy in the litter (he has sisters available for adoption if you prefer a female)! Sirius is good with other dogs. He goes to doggy daycare a few times a week. He is doing well at daycare, making friends (people and other dogs). He is a very energetic pup. He LOVES to play and be loved on. He is young enough to learn to live with cats and he’s good with kids. He's making progress with house training. He still has the occasional accident, but that's to be expected. We think he probably has some pit bull in him, but he is a mixed breed. Mom is about 30 lbs and looks to also be a pit bull mix. Sirius and his siblings probably won't get much bigger than mom when grown. They were born on 4/3, so they are still just babies at 15 weeks old. These babies are all so precious and sweet natured. They will make great little family members! He is neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and started on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

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.

Female, 7 mos

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Age: 7 months Size: 57 lbs Estimated breed: Pit bull/Staffordshire bull terrier Perfect home: Zara has grown up with older kids 12 and older and done well with them. She has lived with cats but enjoys the chase, so needs a cat-free home. She loves the other dogs in her foster home who she's grown up with, but can be wary meeting new dogs, especially super energetic and playful ones. She would do okay with another medium or large dog with a slow introduction and decompression time. She'd also thrive as the only pup in the home! Update from my foster 6/25: Every morning when I am taking 30 seconds to put on my shoes to go outside with the dogs, Zara waits patiently at the door, staring lovingly at me (even after sleeping beside our bed all night). She is so loyal! How could you not smile when you’ve got her little face watching your every move? After a long day of helping me work and playing in the yard, she cuddles up on the couch with all her doggie foster siblings, not leaving any room for the human family members! She is such an easy pup to have around and deserves a family of her own. She’s waited six months already, far longer than all her siblings who joined forever homes months ago. Update from my foster 4/7: Zara is rocking it at her Board and Train! During her first week, we were helping her understand expectations and boundaries when it comes to food, bones, play time, and general manners. All the concerns she came with are now in the past and we are focusing on teaching her how to be the best puppy she can be. Which she's already amazing I might add. Seriously......if I were in the market to add to my zoo, Zara would be staying!! She is the best puppy and will make an amazing companion for the right family. Zara has been learning skills such as Sit, Focus, Orienting when called, Walking on leash, and Leave It this past week. Aside from those skills that are strictly verbal, we always start with hand cues and body language. Why? Because dogs don't understand English until it is taught to them. Dogs communicate through body language, so we work with them in ways they best understand before introducing a foreign language. She is super smart and quite the cuddler!   Zara and her family came to us under very sad circumstances. While conducting community outreach and providing straw and dog houses, our southern shelter partner came across mama Zainab and her fives babies, living outside in the middle of winter. Mama was chained up and had a heavy padlock around her collar, weighing her down. She was trying to nurse her five babies while she was already emaciated herself. Volunteers were able to convince the owners to surrender the puppies to them so they could seek immediate veterinarian care. Unfortunately, one of the puppies did not make it, but the remaining four puppies responded well to getting food in their tummies and warming up inside.    The Z litter is now safe in foster care and can't wait to find forever homes! They are super sweet, spunky little puppies. They love playing with each other and are currently in foster care with other dogs, a cat, and children. They are blank slates ready to be shaped and molded into the perfect dog by their forever families! They are looking for families with lots of time and patience to teach them everything a young dog needs to know.    To adopt Zara, please apply on our website! www.nirvanaanimalrescue.org/adoption-application   Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training.   PA Kennel License #18366July 30, 2024, 10:27 am

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Age: 11 months Size: 51 lbs Estimated breed: Pit bull/American Staffordshire terrier mix Perfect home: At least one other dog, no kids under 10 Update from my foster 4/7: Jude is one perfect puppy! He sleeps through the night better than my adult dogs, and I usually have to wake him up and force him to go outside in the morning/evening! He has not had any potty accidents in several months and will go to the door when he needs to go out, though he does get frequent breaks every 2-3 hours to go outside. He is crated when I leave the house and when he eats his meals, and he knows to go into the crate on his own. He sleeps in a dog bed in my bedroom at night and understands that he’s not allowed onto the human bed (the resident chihuahua’s rule, not mine). He is very respectful of all the other dogs in the home and is very submissive to them all. He has a bad habit of chasing the cats in the house but responds immediately when you tell him “no.” He’s not aggressive with them but does enjoy the chase, so if you have cats in the home they would need to be brave and dog-savvy enough to hold their ground and give him a good “boop” when he tries to chase. He is pretty low-key for a puppy but definitely still gets bursts of puppy energy where he will run zoomies in the yard, often throwing his favorite toy around on his own. He loves to fetch and is great about bringing the ball or toy back to you to throw it for him. If I didn’t have my grouchy senior chihuahua, I would definitely be keeping Jude - he is seriously the sweetest, gentlest, most well-behaved foster pup I have ever had the joy of fostering!   Jude was surrendered to the shelter when he was only 5 months old. He was extremely scared in the scary shelter environment, which is no place for a young puppy. Fortunately, a foster stepped up so we were able to get him out of the shelter and into a foster home while he looks for his forever home! Jude is around 7 months old and weighs 35 lbs, so we don’t anticipate he’ll be a super large dog! He is nervous with new people but always sweet with them. He warms up after a day or two and once he does, be ready to have a constant shadow by your side! He shares his foster home with multiple other dogs and cats who he does great with. Due to how shy he is initially, he would be happiest in a home with at least one resident dog to show him the ropes, and no young kids. He does well in his crate overnight and is picking up on house training quickly. He loves playing with other dogs and is a big fan of playing fetch, too! Jude is looking for a patient and loving family who can show him that people aren't so scary and demonstrate what unconditional love looks like!   To adopt Jude, please apply on our website! https://www.nirvanaanimalrescue.org/adoption-application   Please note we cannot guarantee the age or breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training.   PA Kennel License #18366July 30, 2024, 10:27 am

Story
Age: 1 year Size: 50 lbs Estimated breed: Pit bull terrier mix Perfect home: No cats, no dogs   Laszlo was surrendered to a local shelter when he was only six weeks old, along with his siblings and his mom. Everyone was extremely malnourished, suffering from skin infections, dehydrated, and lethargic. We were able to get everyone into foster care, and each dog thrived and found forever families of their own!    Now, one month shy of his 1st birthday, Laszlo finds himself being returned to the rescue by the only family he's ever known, and our hearts are absolutely broken for him. Laszlo grew up with two little girls who he loved dearly, and reportedly looked for them whenever they left the house. He grew up with another large male dog, who he played well with, but also got into quite a few scuffles with. From what we can gather, their play would become too intense, causing the dogs to fight. This is an overstimulation issue and can easily be corrected and managed with training, especially since Laszlo was adopted when he was still a puppy. Unfortunately, his family didn't think training was necessary :( During a scuffle with the other resident dog, one of the children in the home tried to separate the dogs (no adults were present for the fight) and got bit.    We got Laszlo back into our care and into a board and train program, where he is excelling! He is super smart and eager to please and picking up on all his basic obedience and leash manners quickly. He would be happiest as the only pup in the home but can pass by other dogs on leash just fine without reacting! He just prefers to be your one and only, soaking up all your love and attention. We’d love to line up a home for him directly after training! As an added bonus, his adopters will receive all three of his follow-up lessons with our professional trainer for free.   We are committed to finding Laszlo a forever home who is as invested in his well-being as we are. After losing the only family he's known, he deserves the absolute best FOREVER home, one who will commit to training, daily exercise and mental stimulation, and plenty of love.    To adopt Laszlo, please apply on our website! https://www.nirvanaanimalrescue.org/adoption-application   Please note we cannot guarantee the age/breed of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training.   PA Kennel License #18366July 30, 2024, 10:27 am

Meet Tevya very shy and timid at first but then look out for the cuddles, he is neutered and up to date on the vaccines available for adoption only for approved homes This baby was taken in by a concerned person because he was wandering a neighborhood for a couple of weeks. Instead of turning him in to animal control, they did the responsible thing and had Tevya vetted while holding him until a rescue could take him in. He is a swell guy, happy go lucky and loves everyone. Not that large, just kinda chunky...

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.5/7/24 Happy Toothsday! These sweet girls are still available for adoption. They both have spina bifida which has left them completely incontinent. They wear diapers and do great staying clean with just a couple of diaper changes daily, and they sleep in a crate with a grate in the bottom at night so they can 'air out.' Aside from that, they are healthy and fully vetted. These little girls are just a joy to have. They have endless amounts of love to give, but they are excellent at playing together and entertaining themselves as well. They are very well behaved. They are happy to get any attention, but are not demanding if you are busy. They don't get into things they shouldn't, they are good about playing with their toys. They are strictly a package deal and absolutely will not be seperated, even if that means they stay here forever. But I would love for them to find a home with someone who can give them more time and attention than I can. I have spent a small fortune on them- beyond the regular vetting, I've also had soft palate surgery on Poundcake and cherry eye surgery on Shortbread, and then the cost of their diapers as they have grown, diapers liners, suspenders, etc. But I don't expect to get all of that back. This is the nature of rescue. The main goal is to find a home for them with someone who can afford to keep them in diapers and has the time to give them. With that said, they are not free and do have an adoption fee that is appropriate for their breed. It is a big commitment to have 2 dogs in diapers. But once you get into a routine, it's very easy to keep them comfortable, clean, and happy. These girls get along very well with other dogs and they love kids as well. Growing up in rescue, they have become a little bit shy with new people, only because they haven't been around many people besides us. But they warm up very quickly. Poundcake (brown and white) is the more cuddly of the two. She loves to sit in a lap, give all the kisses, and just snuggle as much as possible. Shortbread (brindle and white) is the more busy, playful of the two. She also loves to cuddle but once she's had her loves, she is ready to get down and play. Neither are high energy dogs. In fact they are the typical, slow, kind of lazy English Bulldogs. Short bursts of playful energy followed by a long nap is their jam. They are about 6-7 months old and weigh about 35 lbs each. They are located in Arkansas but transport to some New England states is available.

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.5/7/24 Happy Toothsday! These sweet girls are still available for adoption. They both have spina bifida which has left them completely incontinent. They wear diapers and do great staying clean with just a couple of diaper changes daily, and they sleep in a crate with a grate in the bottom at night so they can 'air out.' Aside from that, they are healthy and fully vetted. These little girls are just a joy to have. They have endless amounts of love to give, but they are excellent at playing together and entertaining themselves as well. They are very well behaved. They are happy to get any attention, but are not demanding if you are busy. They don't get into things they shouldn't, they are good about playing with their toys. They are strictly a package deal and absolutely will not be seperated, even if that means they stay here forever. But I would love for them to find a home with someone who can give them more time and attention than I can. I have spent a small fortune on them- beyond the regular vetting, I've also had soft palate surgery on Poundcake and cherry eye surgery on Shortbread, and then the cost of their diapers as they have grown, diapers liners, suspenders, etc. But I don't expect to get all of that back.
