✨ Texas - Brown and Tan pup
This 8-month-old bundle of joy is full of energy and love! She’s mostly potty trained, adores other dogs, and is eager to please. Texas enjoys playtime but also knows how to snuggle up for some belly rubs. She’s learning her basic commands and is ready to bring happiness to your home!

✨ Georgia- All white pup
Sweet Georgia is a gentle, loving soul who gets along wonderfully with kids and other dogs. While she does have some anxiety-related pooping, her kind heart and affectionate personality more than make up for it. She’s looking for a patient, understanding family to show her the love she deserves.

Hello! My name is Natasha and I'm about 3 1/2 years old and weigh a whopping 11 pounds! I am a little shy at first, but then I love to cuddle or nap with you and I'll go for leash walks anytime. I am a rare breed of Chihuahua that also loves to play fetch! I'm house and crate trained, though I will gladly sleep in your bed with you if you'd like!
Come meet me Saturday at the adoption fair between 11am and 1pm. There will be no fair following the Thanksgiving holiday, so get your application in soon, so we can enjoy the holiday season together! AARFWS.org

🦸‍♂️ Meet Loki – Your New Mischief Manager! 🐾

Looking for a sidekick with personality? Meet Loki! This handsome guy might be named after the God of Mischief, but he’s actually the sweetest little troublemaker you’ll ever meet (and by trouble, we mean the kind that makes you smile).

Loki is all about being your shadow buddy—he’ll follow you around like your personal assistant, always nearby but rarely in your lap. He’s more of a “sit next to you and supervise” kind of cat. Need a buddy while you work? He’s there. Want a playful chase through the house? Loki’s ready! Need someone to give you judgmental side-eye while you eat snacks? He’s a pro.

His top hangout spots include:
🪑 Hiding on a dining chair, undercover-style
🌳 Perched by the window, being a nosy neighbor
🕵️‍♂️ Investigating closets, cupboards, and any nook he can squeeze into

Loki’s got the perfect balance of playfulness and chill. He’s young enough to have fun but mature enough not to cause mayhem (unless you count his curious little snooping as mayhem). He’s also super polite—he’s got litter box etiquette down and never uses the furniture as a scratching post.

If you’re searching for a curious, quirky, and oh-so-cute companion who’ll always keep you entertained, Loki might just be your new best friend!

🐾 Interested? Fill out an adoption application at AARFWS.org and come meet Loki—he’s ready to charm his way into your heart!

🐾 Meet Lyka! 💖

If you're looking for an affectionate, curious, friendly, playful, and smart puppy, look no further than Lyka! This fun-loving girl is full of energy and always ready to explore, but she also loves to cuddle up for some quality snuggle time.

Lyka was found by a local truck driver when she was just a wee one and has been lovingly fostered by a wonderful AARF volunteer since she was a bottle feeder. Now approximately 5 months old, she’s ready to find her forever home!

Lyka is crate trained, with potty training in progress, and she’s going to be a big girl. With a little instruction, she will make a fantastic pet companion.

🐾 Meet Trace! 💖

Trace is an incredibly sweet, loving, and gentle girl who thrives on affection and being close to her people. During our time with her, we've discovered that she’s curious and a quick learner. She knows basic commands, is housebroken, and is generally well-behaved. Plus, she’s great at being home alone during workdays!

Having been to the vet, Trace is in excellent health and ready for her forever home. With her silly, playful personality, she’s sure to bring a smile to your face! Whether you want a cozy couch potato or an adventurous walking buddy, Trace will happily adapt to whatever you need.

Although Trace has faced abandonment in the past, we are hopeful that she will find the loving home she deserves. If you're looking for a sweet companion who will fill your life with joy, Trace is the perfect match! Come meet her and help us find her forever home!

If you're interested in adopting Trace, check out her application here: aarfws.org/available-dogs 🐶💖
