Susie's Story

6/22 Sweet Susie. This regal lady is the epitome of kindness. She comes to us from a local shelter with a high euthanasia rate. She came to the shelter with a friend, but unfortunately we couldn't get to them in time and her friend was euthanized before we even knew about her. Susie is about 4-5 years old and has clearly had a hard life. She is very thin, and is heartworm positive. But we will have her treated for the heartworms, and the weight will come along. She weighs about 60 lbs but she needs to gain about 10 more pounds. We do not know her breed, we just have her looks to go by. Maybe Pyrenees mix but she is likely a mix of many breeds. She is the sweetest girl and is just so, so gentle. She has been excellent with my other dogs. She's very non confrontational. Susie is friendly with everyone, but needs to gain some confidence. You can definitely tell that people haven't always been kind to her. She is learning quickly, though. She bonds hard and fast to people that are nice to her, as if she is just craving kindness and companionship. She will start in the Paws in Prison program on Monday, 6/22. She will spend the next 8 weeks brushing up on her manners (she really doesn't need this, as she has great manners already), and learning basic commands and building her confidence. We would love to have a home lined up for her once she graduates.<br/><br/>Located in Arkansas. She is available to adopters here in Arkansas, but also available to New England adopters with transport available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NJ, or CT on Saturdays.<br/><br/>She is spayed, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. <br/><br/>For more info or questions, email apps.aasr@gmail.com.

Adopt A Stray Rescue's Adoption Policy
Our adoption process begins with an adoption application, which requires 3 non family personal references and a vet reference if the applicant has had pets in the past 5 years. We check all references, asking about their home, yard, available time for a pet, financial capability of caring for a pet, etc. We contact their vet on file and verify that past or present pets have been spayed/neutered and kept up to date on recommended vaccinations as well as heartworm prevention. If all references check out, we then use various social media apps and google to make sure there are no red flags, then we move forward with the adoption if all of that checks out.
