Biggles may be paralyzed but that doesn’t stop him from living life to the fullest! We believe Biggles is around 5 years old and he originally came to us from Antigua after he was hit by a car. Biggles was so skinny when he arrived but he’s definitely gained some weight and muscle and now weighs 12 lbs. Taking on a paralyzed dog may be a little more work, but it is definitely so rewarding. Biggles has started to walk on his own and with some physical therapy he will just get stronger. Biggles also has a wheelchair that he can use when he is outside or for longer walks. Biggles absolutely LOVES the snow and it’s so cute to watch him play in it. Biggles does need to be expressed to urinate 3-4 times a day. This is actually very easy to do but can get a little messy. We will show any potential adopter exactly what needs to be done. He should have regular urine checks to ensure that he does not have a UTI. Biggles was heartworm positive but was treated for the disease months ago. He will still show as positive on any snap test for the next 6-8 months though. Biggles has been great with most of the dogs he’s met but he can get a little jealous of new dogs (especially intact males). But he eventually calms down. Biggles is great in a pen and isn’t very vocal. He loves to play with toys. Biggles is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and recently had full blood work and a urinalysis.

Adoption Donation   $ 599 Located: RI (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details) Age: approximately 1 1/2 years Meet Silver! Silver had a difficult start in life. She was tossed from a car and ran off in fear, but thanks to one of our dedicated southern rescuers, she was safely brought into foster care. Now, this sweet little girl is ready to put the past behind her and find a loving forever home. At just 7 pounds and around a year and a half old, Silver is the ultimate lap dog who loves to snuggle for hours. She enjoys playing with her furry friends, zooming around the backyard, and having fun with her toys—but she’s just as happy curling up for some quiet cuddle time. Ideally, Silver would have another friendly and playful dog friend to live with. Silver is a bit timid and thrives in a calm home where her humans are around often. Because she’s considered a high flight risk, a securely fenced yard is required. She absolutely adores other small dogs, and it’s been heartwarming to see her confidence grow. If you're searching for a loving, loyal companion who will always be by your side (and in your lap), Silver might be the perfect match for you!  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: marylovesdogs222@gmail.com .   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.

Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 14 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER!!! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)
