Story
Nala is a loving two and a half year old Pitbull looking for a new forever home. She's active, loves to cuddle and sleep and will "sit" and "give paw" for a treat. Nala loves having a backyard with room to run around and doesn't mind being alone sometimes to catch up on her sleep while her new family has to work.

Story
Lucy (aka LuLu) is an almost 4 year old Lab Pointer mix who I sadly cannot keep due to my living situation/divorce. Lucy is a total cuddle bug! She LOVES her humans. She has sooo many kisses to give. Lucy is incredibly energetic, eager to play a game of tug or go for a walk. She will jump, skip, and prance when she sees you. She will follow you all around the house like your own sweet little shadow. She is nervous about meeting new people but warms quickly. Lucy has had some basic training. She knows sit, stay, down, wait. We have been working on her pulling while on the leash. Lucy definitely needs solid, professional training to conquer her fear aggression and high reactivity/prey drive/hunt instinct. I suspect she was attacked by other dogs in previous living situation, resulting in her fear aggression. She also loves to hunt and will go after a cat or other small animal. For these reasons, She should NOT go to a home with any other animals!

Story
This dog is NOT   offered for adoption by Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA). This dog is solely a courtesy posting for another rescuer. Adoption Donation   $         475         Location/Fostered: in AR (Transport costs are included, please ask for more details) Age: 16 weeks   All pups over 5 months will be altered prior to transport, puppies under 5 months old will receive a FOA voucher: https://www.friendsofanimals.org        Hey Y'all, My name is Gordon. My siblings and I were dumped in a logging camp in the middle of nowhere. Their names are Glory (F). Buddy (M), and Tobias (M). It was very rainy, muddy and cold. We were hungry and scared. All we could see is these big things just sitting there. Not moving or making a sound. We found shelter under one of these big things.  In the morning these men started driving up in their trucks. Gordon and Tobias were the first to approach the people looking for food and comfort. When we saw them being picked up and cuddled Buddy and myself came out of hiding. These nice men took us to a place where we could be wiped off and given something to eat. Next they called our foster mom and see if she could take us. The rest is history. Today we are happy, healthy and ready for our very own furever home and family. We are all a little shy at first. Fordon and Tobias are always the more outgoing type. First to say Hi and start playing. Buddy and I take a little more time to warm up. But once we are warmed up, there is no stopping us. Please submit your application and deposit to start my journey home to you.                                                             Gordon   Gordon Male Not neutered Age 16 weeks (as of 02/15/2020) Breed Terrier/ Beagle mix Weight 20 pounds Color Tri-color Great with people, children, dogs/puppies and cat/ kittens   Adoption  $475               Please email for more information on this dog:    alittlelonger2home@gmail.com     This dog is NOT offered for adoption by Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) but an Arkansas rescue partner.  Please contact them directly for more information.
