My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello everyone.
My name is Catarina. I go by Cat. My brother's name is Baxter. I am the color of my mom, and Baxter is the color of our dad. My momma was a Lab mix and my daddy was a Boxer.
I came into rescue being the sweet crazy girl you see right now.
I love people, children, dogs/ puppies, and cats/kittens. For the most part house broken, sort of leash trained, doggy door trained, crate trained. I have those boxer long legs. I would love to be a running buddy, go camping, hiking, yard work, anything with you.
When the sunlight hits my coat, I have some areas of my coat looking like dark rich chocolate.
Please fill out an application and submit a deposit to begin my journey home to you.

We are very careful with our adoptions for these orphans are in our homes. They are family to us. If it does not feel right, there is probably a reason. The adoption is cancelled.

The ladies with FOHA, RI (Sandra Lamb) have invited our orphans to participate in adoption events.

More about this rescue

My name is Carla Carlton. We (my husband and I) are retired militay. He served in the Air Force for 25 years. We have always done some sort of servicing the community. So, when we got ready to retire, we found a place we wanted to live and bought a home. Well, the town we lived in has/had a high kill shelter. This broke our hearts.
Around this same time, I met a lady who fostered for Friends of Homeless Animals, RI. One day I got a call from FOHA there was a poodle in our shelter and he was on the short list. I went and pulled him. Roie (FOHA), helped set me up to foster and list our orphans from here as a courtesy post. I am not sure how long ago it was, 16-18 years, I think. The rest is history. Through them and Mountain Pet Rescue, CO (and a few others in CO, UT, IA, IL, OR, CA, MS...), we have placed over 2400 dogs/ puppies and cats.
