Story
Adoption Donation   $ 299 Located:  RI   Age: approx    10  years old Weight: 14  lbs Meet Babs. This gorgeous senior girl came to us from a local shelter after she was surrendered by an owner who could no longer take care of her. FOHA to the rescue! She's now relaxing in an awesome foster home while she awaits a second chance family. Babs is such a nice dog! She gets along beautifully with humans and other dogs, and nothing in the world makes her happier than getting attention and affection. She's not a fan of car rides or being alone, and would be best in a home with someone who doesn't expect her to go out and about on community outings via car but she loves walking and is great on the leash. She really needs a family who is home more often than not, and she would prefer to be the only pet in the household. She's been to the vet and does have some lumps and bumps that the doctor feels are fatty masses and she's had some lab work done. We believe that older dogs are just as deserving of a loving family as any puppies, and that's exactly what we are going to find for Babs!  If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website  www.fohari.org  and email my foster parent for more information:  bethmanton@ymail.com  Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent. Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters.

Your adoption fee helps to cover the cost of all age appropriate vetting and transportation. FOHARI.ORG makes no explicit or implicit guarantees in reference to the health, temperament and/or the breed of the animal. The animal is adopted ‘as is’, and the adopter assumes all responsibility for treatment of any and all existing conditions or any other conditions of physical or temperament changes that may occur. FOHARI.ORG will provide the animal with the basic vaccines, heart worm test and sterilization of dogs and cats before adoption if the age and current health of the animal permits. While FOHARI.ORG makes every effort to place only healthy animals, FOHARI.ORG cannot guarantee the health of any animal, and shall not be held responsible for any medical expenses that may be incurred. Rescuer will provide information received from the veterinarian exam, observations on the temperament of the animal and a best guess of the breed. Friends of Homeless Animals Inc.

To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application   HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: 4 months (as of 12/4/25) Weight: 13 lbs (as of 12/4/25) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet Ryan, a delightful puppy with a heart full of joy! Ryan and his brothers Everett and Ivan and their mom, Trixie, are looking for forever homes. Ryan is the epitome of sweetness, always ready with a friendly wag and a gentle nuzzle. Ryan's playful spirit makes him the perfect companion for fun-filled days tossing toys and playing fetch. Beyond his playful antics, he's also incredibly smart, quickly learning new tricks and commands. Being just puppies, the Trixie litter will have so much to learn! They are crate trained and in the early stages of house training and learning to walk on a leash. We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog. Ryan adores children, making him an ideal family pet. If you're looking for a loving, intelligent, and playful addition to your family, Ryan (or one of his brothers or mom) is waiting to fill your home with happiness and love.
