1. Alfie

Puppy · Male · Yorkshire Terrier Yorkie / Poodle (Toy) / Mixed · 28 mi from Conway

Alfie is 6 month old 4 pound Yorkie (possibly mixed with Poodle) who is looking for his forever home. He is located in Arkansas and only available to Arkansas adopters. He is a bouncy, happy little guy who enjoys cuddling. He typically is a quiet puppy and sleeps soundly and quietly in his crate. He is UTD on vaccines and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. He is not yet neutered due to have one testicle not descended yet. Our vet wasn't comfortable doing the neuter just yet due to his size. His adopter will need to bring him to our vet once he's a little older and a little bigger to have the neuter done.

6. Taylor

Puppy · Female · Australian Shepherd / Mixed · 28 mi from Conway

10/24 TaylorThis sweet little girl was found as a stray. We had hoped an owner would come forward to claim her, but no such luck. She is about 3 months old, and we think she is possibly australian shepherd mix. This little girl is so friendly and sweet, and full of life! She is great with other dogs, cats, kids, and goats. She is working on house training and leash manners, but still has a ways to go to have these mastered. But she's still a baby and has a lot to learn. She has great potential to be part of a family!
She is spayed, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.

7. Noli

Puppy · Male · Boston Terrier / Mixed · 28 mi from Conway

10/22/26 We need a foster or adopter for Noli ASAP. In New England. He was adopted from us as a puppy, but is now being returned. This is not the fault of Noli. Unfortunately his owner seems to be dealing with some severe depression and not able to care of Noli. The owner of her home has asked that Noli be rehomed. We can go into further detail in email so as not to share too much of his owner's personal info out in the open. Cannoli is 9mo old and about 40 lbs. A DNA test on his sibling confirmed he is a Boston Terrier mix but please take note he is larger than a Boston. He is good with other dogs and tolerates cats well.

Read more about Noli

He's a sweet, good boy. He needs to work on house training-unfortunately it sounds like due to his owner's depression, she does not take him outside when he needs to go and therefore he is having accidents. He is fully vetted. Please help. These are the most recent pics that were sent to us. This is very URGENT. Please reach out if you can help. More detailed info on Noli below.

Noli's owner had him enrolled in some training classes to help him be the best well rounded boy he can be. Here is info from the trainer:"Noli is very social with people and loves being part of whatever is happening. He is highly food motivated, learns new patterns quickly, and bonds closely with his person. He settles well once he has had a chance to take in a new person or place. During his consultation he was able to calm down and fall asleep while we talked, even with a visitor in the home. What he has learned: -Name check-ins: he turns back to his person when his name is called, and this was one of his fastest skills.-Hand target (touch): he touches a hand with his nose on cue.-Sit: offered often and reliably at home.-Greeting routine: person arrives, he says hello, then he comes back to his person for another activity. This is trained and still needs practice with new people.-Loose leash basics: he understands that a tight leash stops the walk and a loose leash keeps it going. He pulls when something exciting catches his attention, mostly smells and people.-Settling on a tether or leash setup indoors: he settles and has fallen asleep in this setup, and he has put himself to bed on his own.-Crate: he will go in willingly with a chew or food toy. He needs a larger crate than the one he started with, big enough to stand, turn, and stretch out on his side.

We believe he is a terrier mix but we only have his looks to go by. 1-2 years old and about 15 lbs. He is housebroken. He is not a fan of the crate and will voice his objection but settles after about 15 minutes.

He is obsessed with my cat and truly thinks she is his. He chases but doesn't hurt her. He really likes to play with dogs so ideally an active playmate would be best. He seems to prefer men over women but he really likes anyone who is nice to him. He is ready to find a home of his own! He is fully vetted.

9/20 Still looking for a home!
6/28 Courtesy post: Dusty is a 2.5 year old neutered male Husky looking for his forever home. Located in New England. He was taken in by a kind family when his owners lost their home. They were living in a motor home and lost heat in the middle of January, so they deemed it best to no longer keep their dogs. The family who currently has Dusty took in all 3 dogs and found homes for 2 of them but Dusty remains. Please share!

Read more about Dusty

Dusty loves kids! He currently lives with other dogs but it is recommended for him to meet other dogs first because he can be selective of who he likes and doesn’t like. He's been known to tease the other dogs in his foster home. He has never gone after the other dogs but teases them (one in particular). In his previous home he lived with 2 other dogs. He is also fostered with a lizard and two macaws. He does not bother the cats or birds but will eat their food!
He loves to hike! Loves jeep rides with the wind in his big old head! He’s an overall perfect dog. He’s crate trained but sleeps with us. He will howl!
Please do your homework on the breed, they aren't for everyone!

Bringing a dog home to your cat

Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.

Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.

Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
