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.Abel- Dachshund mixAbel and his brother, Cain, were rescued from a sad situation. Their owner meant well but didn't have the means to take care of them. They were severely infested with fleas, to the point they had lost a lot of hair, and they were living outside. They were not being given adequate food and water and were just generally in poor condition. Abel appears to be a Dachshund mix. He is 3 years old and about 13 lbs. His coat is a rusty brown/gray color and is now slick and shiny. We have had him vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, tested for heartworms (negative!) And started on preventives for heartworms, fleas, and ticks. Abel is a sweet little boy who gets along well with other dogs, and is good with kids as long as they are gentle with him. While Cain and Abel came to us together, they don't appear to be particularly bonded to each other and will be fine separated. They get along well but don't necessarily depend on eachother. We are told they are brothers but they look nothing alike. In New England.  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. Please visit our Facebook page too! https://www.facebook.com/adoptastrayrescueorg For more info regarding adopting, email apps.aasr@gmail.com Thank you for considering one of our rescue babies!July 18, 2025, 7:43 am
