Arkansas's Story

Subject: Meet Arkansas (aka Archie): Your New Favorite Head-Tilter! Hi there! I'm Arkansas, but my friends call me Archie. I recently caught a freedom ride all the way from Mississippi to my foster home in Virginia, and I'm loving every minute of it! I'm a 4-month-old bundle of energy, weighing in at a sturdy 22 lbs. My foster mom says I'm a total "babe magnet"-apparently, it's impossible to walk down the street without someone commenting on how cute I am. Why I'm a Top-Tier Foster Brother: House Training: I'm doing great with my potty training and I actually love my crate! Smart Cookie: I already know how to "sit" and I'm working hard on my leash skills. Olympic Athlete: I love toys and staying active. My ideal home would have plenty of walks, runs, and playtime to keep me occupied. My Best Features: I have the cutest ears in Virginia (it's a fact!) and I'm a world champion at the "head tilt" whenever you talk to me. If you're looking for a busy, happy, and handsome boy to join your adventures, I'm your guy! Ready to meet me? Apply today!

Operation Paws for Homes's Adoption Policy

Our organization provides pet adoption services to families located in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania and neighboring states. We believe in responsible adoptions and strive to work with each adopter to find a good match for their home and lifestyle. Our adoption process includes completion of an application, a vet check, an interview, and a personal “meet and greet” where the family can meet and interact with their potential new four-legged family member. Throughout this process, we work to ensure each family and dog are the right fit for each other. We are fortunate to have some wonderful and active volunteers who help OPH find forever homes for over 1,000 dogs and cats a year. The key to that statement is - volunteer! Please remember that our organization is driven by caring individuals who give their personal time to help rescue these animals and provide them with the opportunity to find an amazing future! In addition to adoptions, volunteers carry out education and outreach events throughout the area, and conduct donation drives for our partner shelters in the south. Our goal is to offer a second chance to dogs and cats abandoned in shelters and out of time. Sadly, without our help, some of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - sometimes within days of arriving at the shelter. Each year we rescue hundreds of wonderful dogs and cats. We work hard to unite them with forever families who will give them the life and love they deserve. These animals are saved only because of the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors, and volunteers.

Our Mission

Creating a better world for companion animals and the community through rescue, rehabilitation, education, spay/neuter, and providing resources to underserved populations.
