My story

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

Miranda is STILL looking for a forever home! This absolutely amazing & magical hippo has not had a single application submitted and is running out of time she can stay in her temporary foster home. You can be meet Miranda by appointment and you can e-mail us at HeartofRIAdoption@gmail.com to set up a time. We will do everything possible to accommodate your schedule.

We truly can’t say enough good things about this dog. She was born on 4/17/23 and is a Pit Bull mixed breed. She is EXTREMELY smart and has mastered potty training. She has so much to offer and SO MUCH love to give. Unfortunately, she is very nervous around new people and needs time to warm up to strangers. She definitely prefers women but we are actively working on exposing her to men. She is very slowly coming around to her foster dad (treats have been a big motivator) but her ideal home would be mostly/all women. She would also benefit from having a family without children because loud noises and sudden movement really scare her. We know these requirements may cause her to have a longer rescue stay so we REALLY need all hands on deck. She will need adopters that will understand she needs some time to settle in and come out of her shell. She is VERY worth the wait, though! When she feels safe around you her personality starts to shine. She LOVES to cuddle (she has to be touching you if it’s possible) and is extremely affectionate. She has finally started to enjoy playing with her toys and her foster parents are teaching her new things every day. She has not been cat tested yet (we can absolutely do that on site for interested adopters) but does like other dogs (pending successful meet and greet). She is up to date on vaccinations and has been spayed. PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING MIRANDA THE HAPPY ENDING SHE DESERVES!

*PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO STRINGENT OUT OF STATE HEALTH CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS WE ARE NOW ONLY ADOPTING TO RHODE ISLAND RESIDENTS*. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, due to past issues with landlords/housing/insurance, a restricted breed policy is in place for Bully breed/Pit Bull type dogs. This means that you must own your home and provide proof of homeownership to adopt a Bully breed/Pit Bull dog or puppy. While we understand that this may be an inconvenience, it is necessary to help reduce the number of devastated dogs being returned. We apologize for the inconvenience.

HOW TO GO ABOUT ADOPTING:
1. Come in during adoption hours to apply and full out an application completely. We have applications on site. Open adoption hours take place at 44 Worthington Road in Cranston, RI. We are open every Wednesday 3-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm.
2. We require proof of homeownership (tax form, deed, mortgage statement) or landlord approval (a copy of your lease that clearly states you are allowed to have a dog, puppy, cat, or kitten OR written and signed consent from your landlord.
3. We require copies of up to date vet records for any current pets.

Helpful reminders:
*We do not do same day adoptions.
*Please bring the entire family in to meet the animal you are interested in.
*We will setup a meet and greet with your dog at a later date. PLEASE do not bring your dog with you when you come in to apply.
