Story
This pup is 8.5 years old and has a lot of love to give. We wouldn't say he's not good with kids because that would be super unfair to Plagueis, but his patience with our growing family has run thin, and he, fairly, becomes agitated when inside with our toddlers. Plagueis expresses his disdain for lack of attention and sharing his space with a mountain of paw patrol toys by being a bit of a recluse, which isn't his typical personality. We're looking for a happy home for Plagueis- this decision doesn't come lightly, but we don't think it's fair to continue to present him with a situation that he is uncomfortable in and that we surely can't resolve. An ideal family for Plagueis would not have small children in the house (Plaguies loves visitors!), and have no other cats or dogs. Plagueis has happily shared our yard with friends' dogs and peacefully co-exists with our six chickens, but it does take him time to warm up--- he's not a dog park guy.

Meet Rocky: A Loyal Companion Looking for His Perfect MatchRocky is a dog with a big heart and a strong sense of what he likes and dislikes. He thrives in a calm and structured environment where he can be the center of attention as an only pet. While living with multiple dogs has been stressful for him, Rocky has shown great potential to be an incredible companion in the right home.Rocky’s behavior highlights his need for a patient and understanding owner who respects his boundaries. He communicates clearly when he feels uncomfortable, and with proper awareness, his reactions are entirely manageable. Rocky is a smart dog who benefits from consistency and positive reinforcement.He has displayed moments of resource guarding and prefers his personal space respected when he’s resting. These are behaviors that can be worked through with someone who understands dog body language and is willing to invest time and care into helping him feel secure.Despite his quirks, Rocky has shown his sweet and loyal side.

Story
Age:   approx 7 years old  (both) Weight: 12 lbs (Prince)  10 lbs (Princess) My adoption fee is $ 995  which includes transportation charges to the Northeast. Prince and Princess are a bonded pair and will be adopted together.   Both are very affectionate and very sweet. They play outside with the others, and love running in the yard. Potty and crate trained. They are always together, share a kennel, and have their own bowls, but eat each other's bowls. Very adorable pair. Now that their hair is grown, they look a lot like it but she’s a smaller size. She’s a sweetheart. She gives kisses and wants to be held. He also does a lot of kisses and affectionate. If you serious about adopting, the first step is to fill out an adoption application on our website:   https://www.smalldogrescuene.org/December 21, 2024, 10:44 pm

Story
Meet T`Challa, a small dog with a big heart! At first, he can be a little nervous around new faces, but don’t worry—once he feels comfortable, his sweet and playful nature shines through. T`Challa loves to have fun and enjoys a good play session, but he also knows how to kick back and relax when it’s time to unwind. Whether he`s chasing a toy or curling up for a cozy nap, he’s always up for whatever the day brings. With a little patience, T`Challa becomes the loving, loyal companion everyone needs in their life!

Story
Sadie Provac is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Meet Sadie, a 5-6-year-old, 10-pound bundle of cuteness with the most adorable underbite! She’s house-trained, loves playing with doggie friends, and is learning to enjoy walks with her foster family. Sadie sleeps peacefully in her crate overnight and is the ultimate cuddle bug. While a bit finicky with new people, she’s a total sweetheart once she warms up. Sadie is best suited for a home without small children. Could she be your perfect match? **Due to clinic delays: this puppy will be available for adoption with the collection of an additional $100 spay/neuter voucher deposit, which will be refunded upon receipt of successful procedure at our partnering clinic.
