Marley a.k.a Little Bit is a male neutered 1 year old beautiful Black Labrador Retriever who was given as a gift to a family that was in no way prepared for what was about to happen.
At first Marley was tiny, cuddly, sweet, soft, and wooed his way into every ones heart with oodles of puppy breath and little kisses, but the peace and serenity was short lived. In no time at all, Marley grew into a big ball of high energy, and typical of his breed, Marley soon came to resemble an out of control Union Pacific locomotive. Click below to see pictures of Marley/Little Bit and read more.
Kris is a large young male Labrador Retriever German Shepherd mix who wondered right through the front door of a hospital in Arkadelphia Arkansas on Christmas day looking for some Christmas Cheer.
Everywhere Kris wandered that Christmas day, he would have been able to smell Christmas dinner wafting through the air, and by now he was probably more than just a little hungry for some turkey and dressing. Lucky for Kris, a kind Samaritan at the hospital decided to help, especially since Kris didn't have any health insurance. Click below to see pictures of Kris and read more.
Mandy is a beautiful little female Shepherd mix pup with a dazzling personality.
If something is going on, Mandy is right there checking it out. If nothing particularly interesting is happening, Mandy will make something interesting out of thin air. It's hard to be around her for more than a minute or two without laughing.
Toby is a baby Golden Retriever Chow Chow mix puppy who was found alone and crying for food and water as a stray.
Toby ended up at the Little Rock Dog Pound where, like many of the animals, they had little chance of getting adopted or making it out of the shelter without becoming sick. Toby was so young when first found he had to be put with a nursing mother.
Molly is a charming 2 year old female mix breed.
Molly was found starving in a ditch. It took her rescuer two days to catch her. At first scared and cautious, Molly had to learn to trust people again. She has come a long way and has become a wonderful little dog.
Cinnamon is an extremely sweet and friendly Catahoula Leopard Dog, Cattle dog mix, who loves everyone she meets.
Cinnamon was found running down the middle of Cantrell Road in Little Rock, Arkansas around lunch time trying to get someone's attention. She was probably dumped at Allsop Park right before Christmas.
Scooter is a friendly 3 year old mix breed canine companion who loves car rides.
Scooter gets along with other dogs and cats. Scooter likes car rides and is leashed trained. He is known to sneak onto the couch and bed, and loves to run and play.
Trixie is a charming medium sized mixed breed female with a curly tail any dog would be proud to sport.
Trixie was dropped off at the pound, where she waited and waited for someone to notice her and take her home. Eventually time ran out for Trixie, and she was in grave jeopardy of a grim fate. Fortunately she managed to pull off a last minute reprieve when she managed to catch the attention of a visiting DogsOnly volunteer.
Girl is a young medium sized German Shepherd mix who was dumped outside the front door of her rescuer.
When Girl and her Brother were discovered, they were both little skeletons, and badly in need of immediate care and attention. Fortunately their rescuer is a dog lover who didn't waste any time getting them both well taken care of. All Girl needs now is a home where her family has the time and patience to keep working on Girl's training and to show her the care and affection she deserves.
Boy is a young medium sized German Shepherd mix who was dumped outside the front door of his rescuer.
When Boy and his sister Girl were discovered, they were both little skeletons, and badly in need of immediate care and attention. Fortunately their rescuer is a dog lover who didn't waste any time getting them both well taken care of. All Boy needs now is a home where his family has the time and patience to keep working on Boy's training and to show him the care and affection he deserves.
Winnie is a sweet and friendly female wire haired terrier mix puppy.
Winnie was picked up by Little Rock Animal Services and taken to the shelter to compete with all the other dogs and puppies for the attention of the few people willing to endure the noise and distress of the barking and crying.
Rooster is a handsome little male Border Collie Australian Shepherd mix puppy who was found along the side of the road in rural Arkansas near the community of Whitehall.
Rooster and his litter mates were taken to the local shelter, but like most rural shelters, they have little time and resource to keep any animals they rescue for very long. The future was looking bleak for little Rooster until a couple of hard working rescue volunteers heard of his plight and pulled him from the shelter.

Dog Food Nation – The Hard Truths About Dog Food

We are becoming a fast food nation. Most people like to pick up their food at the nearest supermarket or local grocer each week because it’s so easy and convenient. Some food manufacturers that are carried at the supermarket or grocer feel they can get away with cutting corners on your dog’s good health. Don’t buy into that or you will have a very unhealthy pet.

You need to take care of your with proper nutrition and feeding. Your dog’s behavior, happiness, health, longevity and overall well-being are inextricably intertwined with what you feed him. When you feed your the best you can they are more apt to be healthy and happy. When you feed your inferior food he will become sick. He will stop being playful and will become lethargic.

Here’s 4 hard truths you need to know before you buy that next bag of food for your buddy:

Dog Food Truth #1: It’s In The Labels

When selecting a food reach for a good food that is both nutritious and balanced. You will find out if the food is what you need by reading the label. When reading the label, be sure to do your homework. Keep in mind that most foods list their first ingredient as whole meal. Good as this sounds, this tells you that the meat has a high percentage of water and less nutritious.

You will also notice labels that contain chicken and chicken meal. Opt for the chicken meal as this means it has been baked to remove bacteria and toxins. Again, the ingredient chicken is 60% water, which means you are not buying good nutrition here.

Dog Food Truth #2: ‘Bargain’ Food Is Not Worth It

When you spend a little more on your food you are getting a superior product and isn’t your worth it? Knowing you are buying the best to feed your for his best health is its own reward. Your will look great and be happy. This is what every owner wants.

Dog food ingredients are important to pay attention to. Most important to remember is to check your labels! Look for protein listed first so that you are certain to get the optimal nutrition for your dog. Avoid labels that contain multiple by-products on the list as this is inferior nutrition and not the food you want to be feeding your beloved dog.

Dog Food Tip #3: Chicken Little Or More?

Chicken is a great ingredient to feed your but don’t be misled. Commercial manufacturers will list chicken as both chicken and chicken meal. What are the differences of the two? The chicken meal is best because it is baked to remove the bacteria and toxins. The ingredient chicken contains some 60% water so you are not getting your monies worth or a meat that is most nutritious.

Next to continue is moisture level in foods. The moist foods are best because they contain more protein and less water when converted to dry matter.

Dog Food Truth #4: Premium Food With Taurine

Premium or veterinarian recommended foods are the best foods for your dog. They do cost more because they are of high value and so pay off in the end both for your and for your pocketbook. Premium foods do not contain harmful fillers and inferior ingredients. They are both sound and nutritious. There are no colors or preservatives so your


will be fed nature’s finest.

Taurine is an excellent ingredient in some foods. It is an amino acid and works to benefit the dog’s heart, kidneys and blood. It works to carry essential ingredients to and from cells. You should read labels carefully to see if Taurine is included in your dog’s food. Not all foods will. When so many food manufacturers are just in business for the buck, keep this in mind when you select your choice of food.

Last but not least, choose foods according to your dog’s size, daily activity level and health conditions. When you are doing this you are doing the best you can to take proper care of your dog. Avoid the cheaper brand foods as these are inferior choices for your dog’s best interest and help. Also, discuss your dog’s diet with your veterinarian and get Fido started on a healthier, nutritionally balanced diet based on your dog’s individual needs.

Your is an individual and so his needs won’t be exactly the same as your neighbor’s dog. Take all of these factors into consideration and you will be proud to be a owner.

Choosing the Right Type of Dog for You and Your Family (Part 1)

Before considering which breed, size, and age that your new canine companion should be, you should first determine if you can reasonably provide for a pet. Ask yourself the following questions:

  1. Can you afford the necessary maintenance for a dog including plenty of food and treats, dog training, supplies (collars, leashes, toys, bedding, crates, etc.), veterinary bills (for immunizations, spaying/neutering, routine check-ups, and potential emergencies), grooming (especially for dogs with fancy-trimmed coats) and anything else that may arise in the dog’s lifetime?
  2. Realistically, do you have sufficient time to devote to your new dog, including dog training, attention, exercise (going for walks, playing ball, trips to the park), and general care?
  3. Do you have sufficient energy to do all of the above?
  4. Do you live in a place where you’re allowed and able to have a dog? (Note that some apartments, condos and rented houses have a “no pets allowed” policy.)
  5. Do you have a yard? Is your yard secure enough where your new canine will not be able to escape? Do you have a pool, and is it gated?
  6. Would the dog be left alone at home for several hours during the day without anybody to check on or spend time with him or her? Also, do you take frequent vacations or have to travel for work and are gone for extended periods of time?
  7. If your dog has or develops a behavioral issue, will you have the persistence to fix it (with assistance from a dog trainer)? Note: the most common reason why dogs are relinquished to shelters is due to unresolved behavioral issues.

If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, you are a good candidate for dog ownership. ]]>

Holiday Food Considerations

Here are some guidelines for feeding your dog properly in everyday life:
1. When feeding your dog her normal meals, make sure to feed her an appropriate amount (not too much, not too little). Take treats, doggie biscuits, and table scraps into account. If you’re confused on how much to feed her, talk to your veterinarian.
2. Puppies normally need to be fed twice a day while older dogs can usually be fed once a day.
3. However, certain factors must be taken into account, including the dog’s energy level, environment, size, breed (if known), and current state of health. Again, talk to your veterinarian if you are unsure of how much to feed your dog.
4. Puppies should be fed food meant especially for puppies as it contains the essential nutrients that their bodies need as they grow. As a general rule, they may be switched over to adult dog food as soon as they’ve matured past the puppy stage. This is usually one year for small dogs and two years for large dogs.
5. If you notice that your dog is getting skinnier or fatter on her current diet, adjust the portions (by making them larger or smaller) accordingly. Find out what weight is appropriate for your particular dog by consulting your veterinarian and try to maintain that weight by weighing your dog regularly.
6. If you notice that your dog is not finishing her entire meals or that she finishes her meals and continues to beg for table scraps, she may need to have her meal portions adjusted.
7. If you have a dog that is particularly active (i.e., trains for and/or competes in agility trials, plays ball excessively, or simply has a higher level of energy), her feeding rations should be compensated and increased. Likewise, dogs that are particularly lazy (i.e., they live in an apartment and/or lie around all day) should be fed less as they are not burning off as many calories.
8. While dogs are not true carnivores and can survive on a vegetarian diet, make sure to speak with your veterinarian if you are considering this route. It is crucial that all dogs get the recommended amount of calories, protein, fat, etc. each day.

Table scraps are an important factor to consider around the holidays, not only in feeding your dog appropriately but in consideration of her level of obedience. When eating a meal, do not feed your dog directly from your plate or at any time while you are still eating or sitting at the dinner table. This encourages begging, which can be annoying to you and your holiday guests and is an overall bad behavior. Instead, wait until after everyone has finished eating and reward your dog for minding her manners by taking her outside, asking for an obedience cue (sit, down, etc.) and treating her with a piece of meat or potato. Or, you may decide to give her an extra yummy dog food meal by putting doggie gravy on top of her everyday kibble as a special treat. Your canine can enjoy in the holiday festivities too as long as it is in moderation and under the right circumstances.

Also, when cleaning up after a holiday meal, make sure all leftover bones and other discarded food scraps are thrown away in a place where your dog cannot dig for and extract them. Turkey bones can splinter in a dog’s throat, stomach and/or intestines and cause major medical issues. If your dog’s training is not sound enough to trust her in the company of a trash can full of yummy goodness, take the trash out or put it up on a counter to eliminate the option for bad behavior.

May you and your canine have a wonderful holiday season!]]>

Have a Happy Halloween with your Hound!

To properly fit and accustom your canine to his costume, follow these steps:
Purchase your pooch’s costume early so you can help him become used to wearing it over a period of two to four weeks.
  • Bring your dog along with you when you purchase the costume (if possible). Stores may not allow you to try the costume on your dog, but you can at least estimate the size by holding it up to his body.
  • When fitting a costume, check the hemlines around the neck, feet, and tail. If it feels tight, it’s most likely uncomfortable and potentially hazardous to his health.
  • After purchasing the costume, take it home and begin getting your dog used to it at least several days before Halloween.
    1. Start by simply draping the costume over his back, and treat him lavishly for being a good sport.
    2. Then, you can move on to putting the costume on loosely, and again, treating him generously for compliance.
    3. Have your dog sit, lie down, and stay while wearing his costume to ensure that his movement is not impaired.
    4. Once he seems comfortable with the costume, zip or Velcro it accordingly and allow him to wear it around the house for a short period of time each day. Again, have him sit, lie down, and stay to ensure a proper fit. Treat him abundantly for his obedience.
  • Make sure your canine is always supervised when wearing his costume.
  • If your dog attempts to remove the costume, or if he seems unhappy or uncomfortable even after you have followed all advice for getting him used to wearing it, do not force him to wear it. Remove the costume and either attempt a simpler idea (such as adorning him with a festive Halloween bandana) or allow him to avoid a costume altogether.
    For safety’s sake, it is also a good idea to attach reflective patches to your dog’s costume so he is easy to see on Halloween night. Trick-or-treating with your canine can be fun (as long as he is friendly, non-aggressive to animals or people, and not afraid of costumed kids), but safety is a crucial factor. If you are not 100% sure that your pooch will enjoy being out and about on Halloween, keep him inside and have him help you greet trick-or-treaters. The children will surely be thrilled by your festively dressed canine.

    Happy Halloween!]]>

    Naming your New Dog or Puppy

    Choosing a Name
    The following are a few guidelines for choosing a name for your new dog or puppy, recommended by Drs. Fosters and Smith at www.PetEducation.com:
    • Teaching your dog obedience cues is essential in having a communicative and understanding relationship. Thus, you should avoid names that sound like obedience cues or commands that you will use with your dog in everyday life. For example, “Tidbit” sounds similar to “sit,” “Kay” can be confused with “stay,” and “Bo” sounds too close to “no.”
    • Steer clear of names that are the same as people in your household. Your dog will surely be perplexed if he thinks he’s being told to “take out the trash” or “drop off the car at the auto mechanic’s shop.”
    • Shorter names (one or two syllables) will be easier for your pup to recognize and respond to. A canine’s name should be simple and easily recognizable.
    • Hard consonants (b, k, d, t) and vowels (y, ā, ē, ī) are easier to hear and distinguish than soft consonants (f, s, m, n) and vowels (ĭ, ĕ, ŭ). Thus, “Tito” or “Buddy” will be much easier for a dog to recognize than a name like “Fern.”
    • Choose a name that you won’t mind saying out loud in public.

    Getting your Pup Accustomed to Her New Name
    If this is the first time your pup has had a name, you’ll have to help her get used to responding to a name in general. Begin by using her name regularly in her everyday life and encouraging her to focus on you using her new name only. To do this, say her name excitedly, but don’t repeat it excessively. If she focuses on you in response to hearing her name, reward her instantly with a food treat, verbal praise, a favorite toy, or petting (whichever she finds the most rewarding). Repeat this exercise often until she focuses on you consistently after hearing her name.

    If your dog had a name given to her by her previous owner or by the kennel attendants that you’d like to change, it will be necessary to help her transition to her new name. Begin by saying her new name followed immediately by her old name. When she focuses on you, reward her (food, praise, toy, petting). Repeat this often until she focuses on you consistently. Then, drop the old name and begin using the new name exclusively. Every time she responds to her new name by focusing on you, reward her. She should soon respond to her new name dependably.]]>

    Maintaining your Dog’s Obedience Cues

    • Have your canine perform sit-stays before you give him his meals. Do not allow him to dig into his dinner until you release him.
    • Ask your dog to perform a sit-stay or down-stay before you let him inside the house from the backyard and vice versa.
    • Cue your dog to lie down and stay while you put on his leash before taking him out for a walk. He should stay in the down position until his leash is secured and you have opened the door and released him from the down-stay.
    • Bring treats with you on your walk. Stop and practice different obedience cues intermittently throughout your walk. Don’t forget to treat and/or praise him for compliance.
    • During your walk, practice the heel cue. However, remember to take breaks from training and allow your dog to walk leisurely (without pulling on the leash).
    • Practice the come cue as a family – have each family member pick a room in the house and stay in there. Each person should take turns calling the dog’s name and saying “come” right before he reaches them. Not only will this reinforce the come cue, but it will also help the dog learn to obey every member of the household.

    Remember to make training motivational and rewarding for your canine. He should always be praised, treated, and/or petted whenever he does the right thing. With consistency, effort, and an understanding relationship between you and your canine, he will be an obedient and enjoyable member of the family.]]>
