My story

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

Meet Wiggles
Wiggles is a young 2 year old domestic short haired girl that is spayed, FIV/FELV negative, and up to date on vaccinations.

This girl was surrendered to Lincoln Shelter back in August of 2024 when the folks that were providing temporary housing for her needed to move.

Wiggles was originally found seeking shelter in their garage, where they provided her with food, water, and the basic essentials. Wiggles has never lived in a home, and when she came in she was found riddled with fleas, was underweight, and would urinate out of fear when someone walked in the room.

She has shown us a much different side of herself lately after becoming more comfortable with her surroundings. She will need a very patient owner to help her adjust in a home setting. She is very playful and loves munching on her cat treats, and we can occasionally sneak a few pets in when she is eating her morning meal.

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.
