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.

Bruiser is a sweet and loving boy who was adopted in Nov. 2012. He has since been returned to rescue due to the fact that he is a very large boy and he has not yet learned his size, and has knocked over the toddler a few too many times. :( Poor guy doesn't understand but we told him that his forever family just hasn't found him yet. Bruiser is now about 7 months old and is 65lbs. He still has a little growing to do, so he may be around 80lbs when fully mature. Bruiser is being fostered in Rhode Island, where he is being taught some manners and is working on house training. He is doing very well with his housetraining and has not had any accidents in over a week! Except he pees a tiny bit out of excitement when his foster mom gets home, so she says you can't even speak to him until he goes out to potty, then he's just fine. :) he's just a baby still, so he doesnt have full control yet, but he's getting there!  He gets along great with other dogs, and he loves kids but doesn't realize how much bigger he is and may accidentally knock little ones down. Bruiser gets a little anxious when left alone so we feel that he would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time, or where he has another doggy friend to keep him company. He does well at his foster home, where he has 2 labs to hang out with when his foster mom is at work. He  is just a big, goofy puppy who loves everyone. For more info, email kelley.aasr@gmail.com.

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.
