Hi, I'm Dancer! I'm a sweet, friendly, and curious girl. I'm independent, too. I like to explore new places and sniff out interesting things.

Adult · Female · Border Terrier / Terrier / Mixed (long coat) · 60 mi from Springdale



Bambi is a sweet, gentle girl who adores the women in her life. She is very uncomfortable around men and would be ideal for a single woman or an all-female household, with no men visiting often. Calm kids 12 and up are probably fine.
She’ll need an adopter who lets her settle in at her own pace.

10. Money
Adult · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Hound / Mixed · 82 mi from Springdale




Money is a true survivor who has already overcome more than any dog should have to. He was confiscated from a property after being abandoned, and we later learned that before he was left behind, Money had been hit by a car. His front leg was so severely mangled that it could not be saved, and he ultimately had to undergo an amputation. But losing a leg certainly hasn’t slowed Money down! This sweet boy is house-trained, crate-trained, and dog-friendly. He has adjusted incredibly well to life on three legs and is ready to put his difficult past behind him. With the right introduction and a knowledgeable home, he may also be able to live with cats.After everything Money has been through, we want his next chapter to be the one where he finally gets to be someone’s beloved family member!<br /><br />Okie Pet Rescue<br />okiepetrescue@gmail.comokiepetrescue.org<br />An application must be completed and approved after a comprehensive review.

18. Jade
Young · Female · Boxer / Hound / Mixed (short coat) · 60 mi from Springdale



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.
Read more about Jade
Jade is smart and responds to correction, so with a dedicated person and some regular training she should come along quickly. She's still young, with an adorable slight underbite and pretty moo-cow patches, and she has everything she needs to become a spoiled, well-mannered family dog. She just needs someone to step up and adopt or foster her!

19. Joker & Jedi
Adult (2 years) · Male · Great Pyrenees (long coat) · 43 mi from Springdale




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!

Why adopt an adult dog in Springdale
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
