My story

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

Meet Dwight Schrute
Meet Handsome Dan's Rescue for Pit Bull Type Dogs newest foster dog!
Dwight Schrute ?

**Welcome Dwight Schrute to the HDR foster care!**

We had the honor of pulling this big lug from Warwick Animal Shelter, into Handsome Dan's Rescue.

Here’s what I know about our sweet boy so far:

He’s a 10-month-old XL bully.

He came to the shelter with his canine family - his sister is still at the shelter and she's absolutely stunning! AND, the dog who we speculate to be his mother is being adopted by volunteer Jen!!!

Dwight is a big, goofy puppy full of spunk and personality.

While he’s a bit fearful of doorways and new experiences, I’m confident he’ll overcome those fears with some patience and love ?.

Dwight has never met a stranger, he’s absolutely lovely.

He’s also dog-friendly and would thrive in a home where he can either have some time to himself or with another dog that can help teach him the ropes.

He’s still learning that appropriate play doesn’t involve body slams, but he’s eager to learn! His favorite activities include squeaky toys and playing tug, so if you’re looking for a fun-loving companion, he’s your guy!

We can’t wait to see how Dwight blossoms in this new environment. He’s going to make someone a truly wonderful pet!

Stay tuned for more updates on his journey.

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.
