Paws in the Park Puppy Event
4056 Pine Hill Rd, Dover, AR
Dover Paws Rescue Adoption Event
Join us on Saturday the 30th at the Russellville Dog Park at Pleasant View Park for a fun puppy adoption event!
We currently have several puppies looking for loving forever homes. At this time, they are still too young to be spayed/neutered, so all adopters will sign an adoption contract agreeing to have them fixed when age appropriate, along with keeping up with their vaccinations and care.
We are waiving adoption fees to help these babies find good homes. However, our rescue is running very low on dog food right now, so if you are able, donations of puppy food or dog food would be greatly appreciated in place of an adoption fee. Every bag truly helps us continue rescuing and caring for these animals.
We’ll also have balloons, free hot dogs, and the playground right next door so the kids can have fun too!
Our goal is to make sure each puppy goes to a safe, responsible, and loving home while also making sure they receive proper veterinary care as they grow.
Thank you all for supporting Dover Paws Rescue and helping us give these puppies the future they deserve.
