Kid-Friendly Dogs for Adoption in Jonesboro, AR: 22 Dogs Good with Children

Meet Pumpkin. T
his adorable 4-month-old Staffordshire Terrier/Basset Hound mix! This sweet boy is neutered, incredibly friendly, and already has wonderful manners for such a young pup! He gets along great with kids, cats, and other dogs, and he’s even a great little traveling companion who loves car rides! With his loving personality and gentle nature, he’s ready to bring lots of joy, cuddles, and unconditional love to a lucky family. Could you be the one to give this special boy the forever home he deserves?

Daisy is a beautiful dog. We think she is a mini-aussie mixed with Border Collie or something similar. She was adopted soon after we got her but it turns out she's not good with small critters like squirrels and birds and her new humans want chickens. She also likes to roam and the neighbors are not happy about that. It sounds like this is just not the home for her and that is ok...there is the perfect home out there for Miss Daisy and we will help her find it! Daisy is very loving, friendly, good with cats and other dogs and kids. She is house trained. She is very energetic and needs a yard to run and play in along with a family or humans that will be active with her. She would make a great family pet.

Woody is a 1 yo male German shepherd mix dog who was rescued as a stray in Memphis. Friendly, sweet temperament, a little tentative at first with new people and situations, typical shepherd temperament. Woody is selective about his dog friends and would probably enjoy being the only dog. He’s friendly and non-aggressive with the cats on the other side of the fence.

Thunder was an owner surrender due to family issues. He is very playful and has the most animated facial expressions. Initially, he was a family pet but most recently he was in a pen by himself with very little attention. He seems to be more fearful with men, but is warming up to our attention and treats. I sat in the yard with him and it took about 5 minutes of him taking treats before he would let me pet him. Once the trust was developed, he just melted into me, leaning all of his weight on me wanting pets. He know gives us hugs and has become protective over us. He would be good dog for a single woman looking for a protector. He might take a little time to get used to you, but will be a loyal companion once y'all get comfortable with each other. We are learning that Thunder is super affectionate, playful and goofy. He tends to chase cats but is good with kids and other dogs.

Elsa is super sweet and very playful just like her sister Anna. She is about 7 months old. She is wonderful with my kids and all my dogs. She would be best for a younger family bc she likes to jump and that would not be great for the elderly. She is skittish when first meeting men (same as Anna). She is friendly to my cat as well but gets to excited so I keep them separate.
