Forall~Adopted

Forall is about a 1 year old Lab/Pit Bull mix. He is a young Lab mix, about 1 year old, sweet and friendly and was saved from being a research lab animal. Once you pet Forall, he is stuck to you like glue. He loves attention and is such a sweet and loving guy. He has been very dog friendly but has met a few dogs he didnt care (because they jumped on him and scared him) for but redirects with just a few words. Forall just licks and licks you so he is considered a somewhat needy dog and would need to be adopted by some one who wants a needy, loving dog. He is not real independent although he is becoming more so after learning how to live outside of the compound where he has been for some time. Forall will come out of his crate every morning and sit on your feet for some loving before going outside for the day. Forall also likes to snort and grunt when he is happy and is always eager to share his noises with you. Forall was one of the dogs who was removed from the C.C. Baird property after Baird was found guilty and had to pay the largest penalty in history of $250,000 plus another $250,000 if he or his family attempts to be involved with dogs/cats. C.C. Baird sold these dogs to research labs all over the United States. Almost all teaching Universities like UAMS in Little Rock uses animals in their research projects. Some of the dealers are called Class B dealers and have "random source" dogs. Legally, a random source dog is supposed to only be sold by an individual who breeds and is the actually owner of the dog. Unfortunately, most of these dogs are "Free to Good Home" dogs in the paper, strays and some are actually stolen family pets out of their own backyard. We have no idea where Forall came from, who previously owned him or what kind of life he has had. Thousands upon thousands of dogs passed thru CC Baird's property in Williford, Arkansas, that will not happen any more. There are only 4 Class B dealers left in the US. Efforts are being made to change the laws and no longer make it legal to use "random source" animals. You can read more about this on the message board at www.dogsonly.org and our article "No Free to Good Homes". Forall's story will hopefully help educate the public about why it is important to microchip your dog and never give dogs away for free, ever! You can come and meet Forall at the WLR Petco every Sat and Sun on Chenal Parkway across from Target and Home Depot. We will be there from 1-5. Forall's adoption fee is $75 and covers all of his vetcare to include neuter, rabies, heartworm test and preventative, Frontline, microchipping and payment of 50% of basic training classes. You can also meet Liberty ,a female German Shepherd mix and Justice, a Border Collie/Lab mix who are also from Baird's place (Justice was adopted 03/19/05).
