Story
He’s a throw pillow that growls sometimes. This is the best description of Jameson that we could come up with. Jameson’s favorite thing to do is sleep on the couch and his second favorite thing is eating. He does not do much else and is very pillow-like. We think Jameson is around 8-10 years old and he has had both eyes removed so he is completely blind. But, he still manages to get up the 2 steps to the couch and find his “spot”. Jameson weighs 18 lbs. When Jameson first arrived, we could not touch him without him snapping. He was scared, blind, and in pain. After a few weeks he became comfortable with us and we could pet him and pick him up. He started to recognize our voices and we gained his trust by going slow and not pushing him. He will need an adopter who is patient and doesn’t expect a dog who is immediately loving and cuddly. Jameson can get there but it will take time. Jameson is fine with other dogs as long as they don’t jump on him or step on him. Then he can snap. But, he does not go out of his way to interact with other dogs. Jameson loves to eat and feeding time is the only time we hear him bark. Jameson is neutered, up to date on vaccines, recently had full blood work and recently had surgery to remove his remaining eye. He had a mass removed months ago that was benign. To apply to adopt Jameson, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

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.

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
