Marisol A.K.A Mari 26-087 - Black Labrador Retriever and Basset Hound Dog for Adoption in Little Rock, Arkansas

Marisol is a sweet 3-year-old Lab/Basset Hound mix who is ready to leave her uncertain past behind and find the loving home she deserves.
Marisol was abandoned by her previous owners at a local motel and eventually made her way to the local shelter. We don't know much about her life before rescue, but one thing is already clear: this girl has an amazing ability to bounce back. Despite everything she has been through, Marisol is incredibly well-adjusted, friendly, and eager to connect with the people and dogs around her.
She is a polite, gentle girl who absolutely loves affection. Give her some attention and she'll happily soak it all up! Marisol would make a wonderful companion and would love nothing more than to be your devoted sidekick-and, if invited, your lap dog.
She is very friendly with other dogs and people, and we're continuing to learn more about her personality as she settles into rescue. We have no doubt that with a little time, patience, and plenty of love, Marisol will continue to blossom.
If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion with a gentle spirit and a big heart, Marisol may be your girl!

Marisol is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. Her adoption fee is $300.

Marisol is in the Paws in Prison program, where she receives basic obedience training. She will graduate from Paws in Prison on 11/14/2026. The dogs in this program are provided basic level training under the AKC Canine Good Citizen standards and are specifically selected to be family and companion dogs. They spend 24 hours a day with their trainers. So, there will be an adjustment period as they adjust to their new family schedule.

For this reason, they will do best in homes where they are primarily inside dogs and spend lots of time with their families. The adoptive family will receive his training journal. This journal documents his arrival from the shelter, daily training progress, and interactions with the trainers.

If you are interested in meeting Marisol or learning more about our adoption process, please submit an adoption application. Thank you!

The Basset Hound is a unique and recognizable breed known for its long body, droopy ears, and soulful eyes. Originating from France, they were originally bred for hunting small game like rabbits due to their keen sense of smell and sturdy build. Despite their laid back and affectionate nature, Basset Hounds are also persistent and independent thinkers, which can make training a bit challenging. With their low energy levels and love for lounging, they make wonderful companion dogs for families seeking a loyal and easygoing pet.

The black Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile breed known for its friendly nature, intelligence, and loyalty. They are agile, keen swimmers with a strong work ethic, making them excellent hunting and service dogs. Their glossy black coat is low maintenance and sheds minimally, while their friendly temperament makes them great family pets. Black Labs are known for their outgoing personalities and eagerness to please, making them loving companions in various roles and settings.
