Story
Meet Frack; she and her brother Frick, also available for adoption on the PAWS New England page, are 13-week-old sweet puppies looking for their own forever homes. After being unexpectedly left with an elderly couple who were unable to care for them, these pups are now ready for a fresh start—one loving family at a time. Frack is a happy, playful puppy with a gentle personality. She rarely barks, enjoys play time, and has done very well on car rides to the vet with no signs of motion sickness.She is confident in her home environment and, because of her young age, has not yet been introduced to public outings or leash walking—giving her future adopter the joy of guiding her through those first experiences. Each puppy would thrive in a home where they can receive individual attention, training, and bonding. Whether you’re looking for a playful companion or a loyal best friend, Frack could be the perfect addition to your family.Name: FrackBreed: American Bulldog/CrossbreedSex: FemaleAge: 13 weeks as of 12/21/25Weight: 15lbs as of 12/21/25Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date.

Story
Meet Petunia! Despite her name, this girl is no delicate or wilting summer flower. When Petunia was found as a stray by Providence Animal Control, she was scared, skinny, and in need of a little love. It took a few minutes and a handful of treats to earn her trust, but then she showed us her sweet and playful personality. Petunia loves to chase toys, tear the squeakers from her stuffies, play a competitive game of tug, and shred cardboard boxes in search of hidden treats. But once all that is done? She’s up for a nap and snuggle time with her people. She’s still young, estimated to be about 1-2 years old, and is quickly returning to a healthy weight. Though we don’t know much of Petunia’s past, she is currently thriving in foster care and her foster family only gave good things to say about her. She’s house trained, well behaved, and enjoying the company of a smaller, playful dog. **if you are interested in Petunia, please complete an adopter’s profile at parl.org and email cshamgochian@parl.org to set up a meet and greet. Petunia is in foster care and is not available during regular open hours without an appointment**
