My story

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.Ivar was found dumped on a country road in the middle of nowhere. We cant figure out someone could dump such a wonderful dog, but here we are. Ivar is excellent with other dogs- he is very submissive and even goes the other way when other more dominant dogs try to assert themselves. He is very content to be low man on the totem pole. He is also wonderful with cats and is very gentle when playing with the cats and dogs in his foster home. To add the cherry on top, Ivar adores children! You really can't ask for more in a dog. Ivar is housetrained and crate trained. Hes medium energy level and doesn't require tons of exercise, but he does enjoy playing with kids, cats, and dogs, so he would love to have a home with some of any of those. Ivar is about 1-2 years old and weighs 65 lbs. His breed is purely a guess. He is fully vetted and ready to find a forever home! Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations. Harrisburg, PA 2am Saturdays Port Jervis, NJ 5am Saturdays Southington, CT 8am Saturdays East Hartford, CT 11am Saturdays To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350. This includes microchip, spay/neuter,  up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormings, flea/tick treatment, and heartworm test (if over 6 months old) as well as heartworm treatment if they test positive. There is a transport fee of $150 per dog, depending on the transporter. We use Pack Leaders Rescue Dog Transport most often, but also use Hearts Transport as well on occasion.
