Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Little Rock, Arkansas

Meet Basmati!
Basmati is a 1-year-old Terrier mix weighing in at about 40 pounds, and he's already winning hearts wherever he goes. This handsome guy was found as a stray and brought into a local shelter before making his way to CARE, where he's now getting a second chance at the life he deserves.
Basmati is a social, friendly pup who enjoys being around people and gets along well with other dogs. Like many young dogs, he has playful bursts of energy and would thrive in a home that can keep up with his fun-loving spirit while also helping him continue to learn and grow.
We're still getting to know all the little things that make Basmati special, but so far he's proving to be a wonderful companion with a lot of love to give. With a bit of guidance and a lot of affection, he's sure to blossom into an amazing lifelong friend.
If you're looking for a friendly, active pup to add joy to your days, Basmati might just be your perfect match!

Basmati is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $300.

Basmati is in the Paws in Prison program, where he receives basic obedience training. He will graduate from Paws in Prison on 6/27/2026. 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 Basmati or learning more about our adoption process, please submit an adoption application. Thank you!
