My personality

My story

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

This adorable 7-month-old, 20-lb mystery mix (maybe a little border collie?) is Casper’s sibling and shares his zest for life!
Smokey is fast, playful, and full of personality. He adores other dogs and loves showing off his speed—he’ll happily run circles around his playgroup just because he can. After a sheltered start where he spent long hours, sometimes days confined to a crate, he’s making up for lost time and soaking in every bit of fun he can find.
We’re helping him build positive association with the crate in short sessions—and his love of food and enrichment activities is making that process go smoothly. He’s been starved of attention for his first months so he doesn’t want to miss a thing… and honestly, who can blame him?
With time, routine, and plenty of love, Smokey will blossom even more. He’d thrive in a home with another energetic dog to play with.

Additional adoption info

Adoption Fees:

Dogs $400 6 to 8 years old
$250 9 years and older
Kittens $150, Cats $100, Senior cats by donation 10+ yrs

*Puppies adopted out that are under 12 weeks of age will not have been vaccinated against Rabies. The adopter will need to be responsible for getting them vaccinated.

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a “free” animal. ALL animals need some kind of medical attention at some point in their lives. Our adoption fee for dogs includes spay/neuter surgery, Rabies vaccine, Distemper vaccine, Bordatella vaccine, precautionary deworming, microchip with registration, flea treatment (if necessary), heartworm test (if necessary), and a heartworm preventative. Cats receive spay/neuter surgery, Rabies vaccine, FVRCP vaccine, FeLV/FIV test, precautionary deworming, flea treatment (if necessary). Depending on which vet is used, our animals’ medical needs can cost upwards of $500, just for the procedures listed above. Other animals may require dental care, prescription medications or diets, or long-term intensive nursing.

Here at Potters Angels Rescue, we strive to adopt our animals out to the best matches possible for them. This means that an animal other than the one who initially catches your eye may be a better fit for your home and lifestyle.

Our policy is to adopt to people that are 21 years of age or older. This is not a first come/first served procedure as we take great care in matching our dogs to prospective homes. Please be aware that a representative will contact you as soon as possible when you either make an inquiry or complete an application, however ‘as soon as possible’ does not mean immediately nor an exact amount of time as we are volunteers. It means just that- as soon as we possibly can.

After the references have been checked on your application, you can expect a call from one of our representatives as soon as we can. This is in order to address any concerns regarding your application and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have thought of since completing the application. After this a home visit will be scheduled with a representative and the adopter. It is required that and everyone in the household be present including the 4 legged members. If possible this will also be when the potential adopter meets the dog; although occasionally due to distance that will require a second meeting.

If you have found a specific animal you are interested in, please list the animal on the application. If you have questions about a specific animal, please send us an e-mail at info@pottersangelsrescue.org. We will then have the animal’s foster parent get in contact with you.

We are emotionally tied to the animals we rescue and remain committed to the animals and their adoptive families for their life. If there is a problem in keeping the adopted animal at any time during their life, we require that the animal come back to us for re-homing. Additionally, if there are problems or concerns with the health or well being of an animal, we are there to help the adoptive family with the support they require.

Go meet their pets

Our foster pets reside in loving foster homes before they are adopted. On occasion we have special events in which you can meet some of them.

More about this rescue

Potter's Angels Rescue (PAR) is a New England- foster based dog rescue that is dedicated to finding loving forever homes for unwanted or neglected animals.

We help families who can no longer care for their pets, support local animal control, and respond to neglect and cruelty cases. All animals are spayed/neutered (if age appropriate), vaccinated, and ready for a fresh start.

Our mission is simple: every animal deserves a change to have a safe and loving home for life.
