Maverick

Brindle Dog, Mountain Cur**Maverick was enrolled in the Paws in Prison Program for 8 weeks of obedience training. He will be at the North Central Unit in Calico Rock. He will be crate trained, learn manners and he will learn lots of tricks as well! Maverick will be looking for a forever home before he graduates in early April, so if you are interested in meeting him, please contact us. Read more about him below…

Maverick and several other dogs were abandoned in their home, left to fend for themselves.  He is friendly, playful, and loves attention.  Maverick is very good with other dogs, cats and kids too (but older kids because he gets excited and can knock little ones down on accident). He has a beautiful brindle coat and very unusual markings. Maverick is house trained and knows a few simple commands. He is also high energy and tends to jump up on people, begging for attention. Because of this, he will be enrolling in our Paws in Prison program soon to learn better behavior. We also know that Maverick has separation anxiety and will require a home that can take him everywhere with them. Due to his friendly personality and the training he will receive at the prison, that will not be an issue for whoever snags this sweetheart up. Maverick is about 2 years old and weighs 70 lbs.

Willa

Willa was found in the woods with her 3 puppies. She is super sweet and very laid back. She appears to have been very socialized and might have even had a family at some point. She loves affection and listens well. She will sit, head tilted back with a smile on her face while you pet her – she is just precious! She also loves her bed, blanket and to care for her puppies.  She walks well on a leash and is house trained.  She does well with other dogs and would be good with kids too. Miss Willa will be a wonderful, cuddly dog for the family that snags her up. She is about 2 years old and 70 lbs.

Khaleesi

Husky Mix**Khaleesi was enrolled in the Paws in Prison Program for 8 weeks of obedience training. She will be at the North Central Unit in Calico Rock. She will be crate trained, learn manners and she will learn lots of tricks as well! Khaleesi will be looking for a forever home before she graduates in early April, so if you are interested in meeting her, please contact us. Read more about her below…

This beautiful dog came to us as a stray and was never claimed. Khaleesi (ka-lee-cee) is very energetic but does respond to simple commands.  She craves human attention and only wants to please. We have no idea what her previous life was but she is kind of a mess! She will wine (like a Husky) and jump all over you, but once you pet her and give her affection, she calms down.  She also is very vocal trying to get your attention. We think the poor girl may have been kept in a kennel with no socialization, so she is desperate for attention and affection. Khaleesi needs a home that will offer constant attention. She would make a great dog for someone looking for a constant companion  they can take with them everywhere.  She is not house trained but we offer FREE obedience training via Dog Academy. She is almost 2 years old and weighs 60lbs.

Thor

Red Heeler MixThor came from a bad situation where he and 11 other dogs were not being fed or given any attention. In spite of all that, Thor is friendly and craves affection. He loves back scratches and cuddles! He appears to be a little hard of hearing but he is not deaf.  Since being here he has learned how to walk on a leash and sit for treats. He is very smart and eager to please.  He is also a goofball and we all love him…you will too! Thor is about 3 years old, weighs 55lbs and is house-trained.

Finch

Terrier MixFinch came to us with his brother, Ford.  They were surrendered from a family that had too many dogs they could not take care of.  He is a little on the shy side, but warms up quickly with treats and gentle pets.  His nick-name is “Mouth” because he gets his mouth searching all over us, looking for treats. Finch will not get much bigger than he is now (25 lbs) because he is already 9 months old. He has only been outdoors, but loves laying inside the shelter on his bed, chewing on toys.  Finch is partially house trained and eager to please, so training shouldn’t be difficult.  He would be good with other dogs and older, considerate kids (his searching for treats could overwhelm a small child).

Ford

Big Ears PuppyFord arrived with so much fear that we couldn’t touch him. He was surrendered from a home that had too many animals and just didn’t receive any socialization.  We paired him with another puppy that loves people and he learned from her that people are good and pets are awesome! He is still a little scared but lets us pet him and he improves a little more each day. Ford has only been outdoors but is adapting well to an inside room and getting used to a bed.  He is about 10 months old and almost full grown at 35lbs. He really needs a chance in a patient home and we feel he will really come out of his shell and blossom. Will you give Ford and his big ears a chance?

Ember

Brindle PuppyEmber is a very sweet but also shy puppy.  She came to us with her siblings and was the more timid one, but is really coming around to people contact.  She loves other animals and would be good with kids too. She has been outdoors her entire life in a small pen, so everything is new to her, including interacting with people. She will be scared when you first meet her, but she is so sweet and playful once she gets comfortable and comes out of her shell.  She is partially house trained and learning to walk on a leash. We offer FREE OBEDIENCE TRAINING through Dog Academy for all of our dogs to help with these things. Ember will make a wonderful pet for the lucky family that snags her up!

She is about 10 months old and only weighs 30lbs, so she will not be a very big dog, probably 35 pounds full grown.

Dover

Dover is a very affectionate, friendly, and energetic dog. His owner was just too old to care for him properly. He has been indoors and outdoors, and is house trained. He really needs a family/person that can give him the play time and exercise he needs as well as the affection he desires. He LOVES walks but also likes to sit and chew on a good bone. Dover is good with female dogs but tries to dominate the males. He does ok with small male dogs though. He loves to chase balls, chew on bones and will go in circles for booty scratches. He would make a great companion for an active person/family. Dover is currently 4 years old and weighs 57lbs.

Leroy

Black & Tan CoonhoundLeroy came from a home that has too many dogs. He and his 5 siblings grew up in a small pen with little socialization. He craves affection and accepts it, once he gets to know you. Leroy is slender but has a healthy appetite and is eating well.  He is energetic and ready for action. He can be on the timid side at first, so he will take a little time to get used to you, but don’t let that stop you from taking this sweet boy home. He will make a wonderful dog for any patient person looking for a companion. He is over a year old and is neutered. He is not housetrained but we offer free online obedience training to all of our adopters via Dog Academy.

Lefty

Shepherd, Collie MixLefty came from a home that has too many dogs. He and his 5 siblings grew up in a small pen with little socialization. He craves affection and accepts it, but can be a little shy at first. He was so scared the first day he came to the shelter that we had to carry him everywhere. Today, he wonders around with curiosity and excitement. He is still a little timid, but is getting more confident each day. He just needs to learn that he is safe and that we aren’t going to harm him. Lefty had never been brushed or bathed before we got him so his coat is pretty ragged, but we are brushing him daily to get it looking good again. He is not housetrained but only goes in his outside area here, so should be easily trained. We offer free online obedience training to all of our adopters via Dog Academy to help with that. Lefty will be a wonderful dog for any dog loving home! He is about a year old and weighs 55lbs.
