My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sue - Blind/Hard of Hearing - Coming Soon
Sue is currently tied up in a cruelty case but will be available soon. She is an all white pocket pittie (Petfinder does not have that an an option. These are also sometimes called micro bullies) She weighs only about 30lbs and is full grown.

She is around four years old, super sweet and cuddly, and is blind and has partial hearing loss.

Sue is WONDERFUL and gets around just fine once she learns the lay of the land.

I have hosted her at my home several times, and will continue to do so. I have found her to be the perfect little houseguest. She takes some time to figure out the perimeter of her spaces, but once she does, as long as you make sure she doesn't bump into anything while she settles in, she is a really happy go lucky dog.

Sue did well with the two dogs she met, she didn't play, but was happy to be in their presence. I don't think that a very playful dog would work, but a mellow one would be just fine.

I believe she will do well with cats and children, too!

I have a ramp that leads off of my deck to my backyard and she mastered that after only a few days of working on it. She is crate trained, potty trained, and ready to start her new advernture.

Sue has been granted a Handsome Dan's Rescue Take My Lead grant giving her up to $500 in free private training and supplies. Sue's TML trainer is Erin of downtoearthdoglady.com. The sessions will be virtual as Erin is in PA, but I have already talked to her and she's excited to get started helping Sue transition into her forever home and help Sue's new folks set her up for success!

Thank you for choosing rescue!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have a standard application that requires information about past and present pets, the home and yard, veterinary references and at least two non-relative references. All references are checked and a meet and greet is scheduled, typically in the foster home, prior to approval. A thorough home visit is then conducted (with photographs) and then we will allow the potential adopters to have any resident dogs and children meet the foster. HDR provides full support through and after the adoption process to minimize potential failures that can be stressful for the fosters and devastating for potential adopters.

Go meet their pets

All of our adoptable dogs can be seen on our website (http://www.handsomedansrescue.org/) and at PetFinder.com. We will list special events on our website as well, and on Handsome Dan's facebook page.

More about this rescue

We help with the placement, care and the overall wellbeing of dogs in local shelters, rescues, and other facilities throughout the state of Rhode Island.

We Provide Foster Homes
We advocate the rescue and placement of pit bull type dogs from local shelters previously considered "unadoptable" through a network of volunteer foster homes. Many dogs have been rescued from severe abuse and neglect, often including victims of dog fighting. Because the dogs in our program often require extra care, including medical, training and rehabilitation, our rescue is small by design.

We Give Enrichment to Shelter Dogs
Long days of boredom can take their toll on even the most solid of dogs resulting in kennel stress. HDR's Enrichment Program pairs one of our enrichment specialists with a dog in crisis.

We take shelter and foster dogs through Outbound Hounds' Pit C.L.A.S.S.
Classes offered free to dogs in foster care or current residents of local shelters thorough our partnership with Outbound Hounds.

We Sponsor Free Spay/Neuter for At-Risk Dogs
Each year we are able to assist a small amount of owned dogs whose guardians are unable to afford the surgery. This program often results in at-risk dogs being able to stay in their homes rather than being turned in to local shelters.
