Meet Pineapple!Pineapple is an adorable young pup with a big personality and an inspiring story.Rescue Story: This sweet boy came to a Memphis vet clinic in distress with an obstructed bladder. His owners surrendered him, not wanting him back, but thankfully, the vet’s office reached out to Paws New England. We didn’t hesitate to welcome Pineapple into our rescue family!Puppy Personality: Pineapple is all about the typical puppy life. He’s curious, playful, and full of energy. He’s learning the ropes of house training and is eager to please with a little patience and guidance.Farm Life: Currently, Pineapple is living the dream on a farm surrounded by other dogs, cats, and various animals. He gets along wonderfully with everyone and is soaking up the rural vibes.Pineapple is ready to find his forever home where he can share his sweet puppy charm and grow into the fantastic companion he’s destined to be.

Story
Meet Dwight Schrute Meet Handsome Dan's Rescue for Pit Bull Type Dogs newest foster dog! Dwight Schrute ? **Welcome Dwight Schrute to the HDR foster care!** We had the honor of pulling this big lug from Warwick Animal Shelter, into Handsome Dan's Rescue. Here’s what I know about our sweet boy so far: He’s a 10-month-old XL bully. He came to the shelter with his canine family - his sister is still at the shelter and she's absolutely stunning! AND, the dog who we speculate to be his mother is being adopted by volunteer Jen!!! Dwight is a big, goofy puppy full of spunk and personality. While he’s a bit fearful of doorways and new experiences, I’m confident he’ll overcome those fears with some patience and love ?. Dwight has never met a stranger, he’s absolutely lovely. He’s also dog-friendly and would thrive in a home where he can either have some time to himself or with another dog that can help teach him the ropes. He’s still learning that appropriate play doesn’t involve body slams, but he’s eager to learn! His favorite activities include squeaky toys and playing tug, so if you’re looking for a fun-loving companion, he’s your guy! We can’t wait to see how Dwight blossoms in this new environment. He’s going to make someone a truly wonderful pet! Stay tuned for more updates on his journey. Thank you for choosing rescue.

American Bulldog

Female, Adult
Warwick, RI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Pebbles is 65lbs, about 7 years old, and Ive had her since she was about 1. She is a big playful, energetic, quirky, expressive, loving, loyal, snuggly baby. Pebbles loves sunbathing and being outside. She catches treats (lettuce is her fav), enjoys puzzle and treat-dispensing toys, and always wins tug of war. She's receptive to changing rules and routines, and has always been an excellent walker, well potty-trained, and can stay home alone without issue--though she will VERY MUCH miss you and meet you at the door with elation. You should be experienced and active (exercise is vital). Due to her first home she's anxious with men but could adjust to a soothing, patient dad. She also fares best in a home that doesn't drink or host often. Pebbles has adapted to living alongside my mom's yorkies though she'd need to brush up on sharing resources; chases bunnies; reptiles ok; cats N/A. Pebbs is such a good dog and she'll be the best little lovebug you could ask for.
