Jade was found living in the woods of rural Newton County with a group of dogs, likely her littermates. After months of looking out for herself and her pack, she's figured out how to survive. Now she needs someone to teach her how to be a house dog.

Jade lives with a large pack currently and generally gets along with most dogs, though she can be bossy and pushy with some, especially other females. She's also vocal and will bark to announce strangers, but she listens and backs off when she's corrected. A meet-and-greet with any resident dogs is required, and she'll do best with someone who can give her consistent structure.

Patsy, the sweetest girl ever! She came to us with 7 puppies, but that life is now behind her. She is 7 years old and it's time to enjoy her life without having any more puppies. Patsy is calm and very friendly with people and other dogs. She is heartworm positive and has started her treatment. AWL will continue to provide her treatment until she is negative. She is an absolute angel in the car, looking out the window and sitting perfectly in the seat. She walks nicely on a leash and enjoys walks on the trails. Patsy is just about the perfect girl! She is possibly a fox terrier mix and weighs just 31 pounds. Come and meet sweet Patsy. You will love her.You can apply on line at www.hsvawl.org by completing the Adoption Application on either the HOME or the ADOPT page.

Joker and Jedi are two brothers, estimated to be around 2 years old, who have been through more together than any dogs should have to endure. They were abandoned and left to survive on their own, relying on each other every step of the way. We believe Joker was even hit by a car during that time—but through it all, these two brothers never left each other’s side.
Today, their story looks very different. Safe at the rescue, Joker and Jedi have shown us just how incredible they are. Despite everything they’ve experienced, they are outgoing, loving, and full of joy. In fact, their friendly personalities are so wonderful that they now help us socialize other dogs and show them that people—and life—can be pretty great.
These brothers love spending time outside exploring and enjoying the day, but with all that fur, they know when it’s time to head inside! Once the temperatures rise, you’ll find them happily stretched out in the air conditioning, relaxing with their favorite humans.
Joker and Jedi are the definition of resilience. They survived together, healed together, and now they’re ready for the best chapter of their story—a life filled with love, comfort, and a family of their own.
After everything they’ve been through, these boys deserve nothing less than happily ever after.
Thank you for checking out our wonderful orphans. If you would like to find out more please email or call Diane at...diane@ulpr.org or 870-577-3744.

Hello, folks! I'm Juniper. I'm pretty new to rescue, but so far I'm doing great. I like my new fur friends, and playtime is the best! I've been a good houseguest and been minding my habits well. The only thing I'm not a fan of is car rides. Yikes! Not my thing! I'm sure I'll get used to this place pretty quickly, but I'd like to find my furever home. Maybe with some fur-siblings who'd like a playmate? If you'd like to see how I'd fit in your pack, then put in an application with Juniper on it!

She enjoys chewing on bones and playing with her dog friends. Lila does well on leash and is learning additional commands. Adopt Lila if you’re ready for couch cuddles and constant kisses!<br /><br />Okie Pet Rescue<br />okiepetrescue@gmail.comokiepetrescue.org<br />An application must be completed and approved after a comprehensive review.

Hi, I'm Tahoe! I'm big and stylish like a Tahoe SUV! I can be your luxurious, cozy snuggler or you can put me into 4 paw drive while we hike a trail together! I'm an all around good boy who loves treats and being praised! I'm good with kids, cats and other dogs.
I am currently recovering from a skin infection. I can't wait to be healed up and looking and feeling better! It turns out I'm allergic to fleas so I'll need to stay on an oral flea prevention and Zenralia from now on to keep me healthy and itch-free.
If you're ready to drive home with a sweet, beautiful husky, fill out an application and mention me, Tahoe!
