Sweet mama Arkansas is around 2 years old and looks to be a Lab and Shepherd mix. She was rescued with her 10 puppies from a farm that had too many dogs and couldn't properly care for them all. Now she is ready to put parenthood behind her in favor of her own home. She is doing wonderfully in her foster home where she is now your normal dog, and she’s even house trained! Like most young dogs, if she doesn’t get her zoomies out and has some pent-up energy, she starts making her own chew toys. Therefore, it’s important that she has an active family that takes her for daily walks or has a yard to expel her energy. Arkansas LOVES her walks and doing some familiar exploring. At the dog park, she finds a dog or two that she likes and will stick with them, check back in with Foster Mom, then go play again. She used to fear unfamiliar dogs and strangers but has come a long way! Now that her bond with Foster Mom is strong, she trusts that she won’t be put in an unsafe situation. She doesn’t need a doggy sibling to be happy and would probably adjust best in a home without too many new elements. She isn’t ready for a family with children, unless they’re older and contribute to a calm household. Once she acclimates, and it may take some time, she’d likely do well with a dog sibling or a growing family!

Arkansas absolutely loves her walks and all adventures. She LOVES the water and splashing around at the beach. She also enjoys hikes and other outdoor activities. On walks, she collects treasures to bring home and play with, like sticks and pinecones. It doesn't take much to entertain this girl! She’s doing much better in the car, though she does tend to get car sick on longer drives. Arkansas needs a mellow household with an owner who understands shy dogs and is willing to put in the extra energy and training to help her blossom into the best dog that she can be. Once Arkansas bonds with you, she’s an absolute love bug (and she thinks she’s a lap dog!).
