9/5/26 Still available! Now about 10 weeks old.
8/27/26 Cora
These beautiful little babies had such a hard start in life. They were dumped along with their mama in a very remote area in rural Arkansas, next to the river, under a bridge. Their sweet mama did all she could to protect her babies from the wild hogs that frequent the area, and other dangers. She tried her best to produce enough milk to feed them and keep them healthy. We are so proud of her and her efforts to raise her young. Sadly, dogs are not equipped to live in the wild any more. We took that from them long ago. Mama did the best she could, but it cost her dearly. She was starved almost to death. The puppies were slightly underweight but overall in decent condition, which tells us all we need to know about a mother's love for her babies. She gave her all to them. Thankfully, she was rescued along with her babies. These puppies are so sweet and happy! Just having a regular diet and a little affection has made all the difference for them. They are now in a foster home where all of their needs are being met and they are thriving! We believe they are Hound/Border Collie mix. But that is only a guess. There is really no telling what all breeds they have mixed in there. Mama seems to be a squirrel dog or bird dog of some sort. She is a good hunter, which is probably the only thing that allowed her and these babies to survive before they were rescued. These pups are about 9wks old at this time, and they weigh around 10 lbs. They will not be large dogs. We believe they will be a nice medium size, maybe 40-50lbs once grown. They are good with other dogs. Have not been around cats but they are just babies so they should be just fine acclimating to cats. They are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on heartworm & flea/tick prevention.

These puppies are located in Arkansas and may be adopted locally, or they can be adopted in the New England states. Transport is available to some New England. Adopter would need to be able to meet our transporter on a Saturday in MD, PA, NJ, or CT.
