Dijon Mustard

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 1 yr

Providence, RI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Dijon Mustard may be a dog but honestly he wouldn't mind at all if you got a little confused and put him on the table next to the hotdogs and hamburgers. All the food will vanish quickly and all you'll be left with is a happy and wiggly boy standing on the table with the biggest smile on his face. So, yes, he'd love to be a condiment for a day. Unfortunately for Dijon, he's a dog and will always be a dog but that comes with a few benefits - the ability to do zoomies, splashing in the pool, and making friends with every person he meets are just a few of those perks. He's a fun loving pup and he sometimes just cannot contain his joy and has to sprint as fast as his stocky little body can go to use some of that excitement up. After the zooms and play time, he'll settle down for some chill time with his people (because, really, that's just as important to him as anything else). **if you are interested in meeting Dijon, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours!**

Halo

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 14 yrs

Providence, RI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Halo is one of the sweetest and gentlest old men we've had in a while. He's a golden boy in the golden years of his life and he's looking for a home with a soft couch, good treats, and people to rub his belly. He does have creaky joints and stiff old man legs, so he's not up for long walks but a casual stroll around the block would be enough for him. He enjoys snoozing the days away and soaking in all the love possible. If you think you have enough affection to spare and would like to give him a loving hospice home, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours.

Montana

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Cranston, RI

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Montana - Take My Lead Dog Montana found herself at the shelter as part of a cruelty case in March of 2023. She was seized from her former owner and held as evidence alongside Vermont. Montana has been receiving routine visits from Vermont’s Enrichment Specialist, and continues to grow her confidence thanks to the dedicated staff at her shelter. Montana is very smart, and quick to learn new cues. This adorable girl loves to run, chase down toys, and is working hard on her fetch skills. While she’s not nearly as fearful as Vermont, she does have a fear of new people and things. This makes walking on leash challenging and something she will need patience with. She comes with a Take My Lead grant for FREE training through Handsome Dan's Rescue, which we are making a mandatory part of her adoption to ensure her forever home is committed to working on her behaviors. Montana loves to play. She’s a runner, and would do great in a home with enough space for her to do so. A large fenced in yard would be ideal to give her the outlet she needs to burn off her young energy. She also loves to snuggle, and will gladly get all up in your business in an attempt to get pats and hugs. She is on the small side of medium, and needs an adults-only home, where she will likely need to be the only pet. If you have any questions or are interested in adopting Montana, please email Rachael at hdrrachael@gmail.com

Story

Meet VT - Coming Soon - Cruelty Case - Take My Lead Dog This sweet boy is very fearful. He was part of a cruelty case. We can explain more on that to any interested applicants. He will need a very patient adopter willing to continue working to help him trust and habituate to life in the community. We would prefer an only dog home for him at this time. Also we probably won't place him with kids due to his level of fear with fast movements right now. However, we hope with time he will become more comfortable with all of these things. He lives at a local shelter where their most skilled staff has been working hard to help him recover from his past life. He is part of the Handsome Dan's Shelter Dog Enrichment Program where he has been matched to dedicated volunteer Rachael. You can contact her at HDRrachael@gmail.com for questions and more info. He has been granted an HDR Take My Lead grant, which in this case we prefer to be a mandatory part of adoption due to his level of fear, which provides him with FREE private training and group classes once adopted. Please don't overlook him due to his level of fear, It's very rewarding to help such a fearful dog learn to trust.

Story

Meet Brisket! Brisket is a skinny boxer man but he's a true foodie and he won't turn his nose up at any treats you have to offer. Brisket does well with all people and he tends to be very gentle. He does have a prey drive so we're looking for a home without cats or other small animals but he does do well with larger dogs. Brisket does urinate in the house occasionally and is prone to UTIs so he'd do best staying on a supportive diet for dogs with urinary crystals. **if you are interested in meeting this distinguished gentleman, please complete an adopter's profile at parl.org and come in during our open hours**

Story

Meet Aubie 💙 Aubie is a 10 year old Boxer mix. He had a wonderful home where he was spoiled and loved up until a few months ago and then his world fell apart 😔. Aubie’s owner got very sick and could no longer care for himself or Aubie. Aubie was placed at a local vet clinic for several months in hopes that someday he could return home to his person and the life he had always known but unfortunately that is not going to be possible due to the fact that his previous owner has had to have more surgery and has sadly lost his ability to walk. So now Aubie is looking for a new home where he has never has to worry about the future and he can just focus on being the good boy that he is. Aubie is crate and house trained and would do great in a settled home where he still gets to be active. We think a home with an active person or couple or one with older children would be great for Aubie. He is okay with other dogs but is not really interested in being a doggie friend. Aubie just wants a person to hang with and to play ball non stop 🎾. He is very active for his age so a fenced yard for him to run around in is a high priority especially since he loves to spend time outside. This boy has been through so much recently, we are praying his new family will see this post and give him the opportunity to live out his life in the way he deserves being loved and cared for by his new hero. ❤️
