Catahoula Leopard Dog and Beagle Dogs Available for Adoption in Mena, Arkansas

Hi... we're Peanut & Butters 🤍🐾🐾 Yes, there are two of us--and we come as a package deal, because we've been side by side through everything life has thrown our way. A couple of years ago, we were found in a sugarcane field, starving, covered in fleas and mange, and just trying to survive by drinking from a muddy ditch. No one knows exactly what we went through before that, but we do know it left us a little scared of the world--especially other dogs. But even then, we had each other. 💕Peanut had it especially hard. She was so sick with heartworms that she almost didn't make it, and she still carries tiny pellets in her chest from being shot... so loud noises like thunder and fireworks can be really scary for her. Butters has always been her protector, her safe place, her constant comfort. He never leaves her side, and she leans on him when she needs reassurance. Watching us together, you'll quickly see--we're not just friends, we're family. 🐶❤️🐶The kind humans who rescued us refused to give up, and because of them, we're now healthy, heartworm-free, fixed, chipped, and finally know what it feels like to be loved. And oh, do we love back! We are incredibly sweet, gentle souls with the softest mouths and the biggest hearts. We adore people, do wonderful with kids, and are happiest when we're close to our humans--whether that's soaking up attention or just quietly being near you. 🥰

We're both around 5 years old--Butters is a 55 lb American Foxhound, and Peanut is a 41 lb Jack Russell/Beagle mix--and while we may look different, we fit together perfectly. The only thing we ask is for a home without other dogs, where we can feel safe and relaxed. We don't want trouble--we just don't always know how to trust after everything we've been through. The good news? We're safe now with a no-kill shelter, so we finally have time on our side. 🎉 But what we really want--the thing we've never truly had--is a forever home. A calm, loving place where we can stay together, feel secure, and spend the rest of our lives being the loyal, loving companions we were always meant to be. 🏡🤍If you open your heart to us, you're not just adopting dogs--you're giving two survivors the happy ending they've been waiting for. And we promise, we'll fill your life with more love than you ever imagined. 💕🐾
