Jackson Henson is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home! Jackson enjoys people and tolerates other dogs. He would be content being the only dog in the home with an adult who is home often.

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. If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter. If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today!

Story
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. He enjoys affection on his terms and has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion in a home that meets his needs.

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

This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption. If this is the case, your adoption coordinator will provide guidance on the process.)   To adopt or learn more about this dog, you must complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com.   PLEASE READ:     •    If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this.     •    All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date.     •    Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments.   Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well.   Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation.   For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com.   The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.   ##2300723##

Story
Meet Zoely! Zoely is a playful, happy-go-lucky pup and the sweetest little furball who’s ready to find her forever home! This sweet girl loves people and is great with other dogs. She’s also good with kids, though a home with children 6+ would be best since she gets very excited and bouncy. Zoe is always ready for an adventure, Whether it's a car ride or a walk. She LOVES chasing after a ball, leaping through the snow, and snuggles. She enjoys being brushed and pampered and you will enjoy the affection she gives you. Zoely sleeps in her crate all night and is doing great with potty training—she’s a smart cookie! She would be a wonderful addition to an active family and will require regular grooming every 6-8 weeks to prevent matting and keep her coat in great shape. Currently fostered on the North Shore of Massachusetts  This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered.
