My personality

My story

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

Tofu is looking for a loving home! This senior princess is around 12 years old and weighs 13 pounds.

Since the first day we met her, Tofu has been sweet and friendly. She has met dozens of dogs during her stay and has gotten along well with everyone. Tofu is a gentle, affectionate girl who loves to give love as much as she loves to receive it. During mealtimes, she will bark for her food. She will also occasionally bark when a new person stops by, but isn't overly vocal otherwise.

Tofu joined Vintage Pet Rescue last September. First, we focused on regulating her liver values, which were high, but are now in a normal range. Then, she was on several weeks of rest for a partially torn ACL, which is better now. Most recently, Tofu underwent surgery to remove a mass on her front left leg. The biopsy results said it was a peripheral nerve sheath tumor with very little chance of recurrence. We're happy to report that the tumor was completely excised.

Tofus is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and recently had full bloodwork. If you're interested in adopting Tofu, please apply at: https://www.vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Please fill out an adoption application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

2.

Approve Application

Once we review all the applications for each dog, we will reach out and let you know you've been approved and we'd like to schedule a call.

3.

Interview

You will have a phone interview with our adoption coordinator.

4.

Meet the Pet

If everything sounds like a good fit on the phone, we have you come meet the dog in person.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

if you fall in love at the meet and greet, we have you sign an adoption contract digitally.

6.

Take the Pet Home

Then you can usually take the dog home right then!

Additional adoption info

We only arrange meet and greets with pre-approved applicants.

The vast majority of the dogs we take in and post on our social media will be available for adoption at some point, but not everyone is ready to be adopted right away. We first need to get all of our dogs seen by our vet, treat any health issues, and/or schedule any procedures they may need. Once the dog does not need anything else from us medically, we will post them for adoption!

More about this rescue

Vintage Pet Rescue is a Rhode Island based 501c3 non-profit. We protect and advocate for homeless senior dogs in need by providing cage-free sanctuary living for all of our rescue's residents, helping unwanted seniors find love in their final years through our adoption program, and increasing public awareness and interest in saving senior pets.

VPR was founded by Kristen and Marc Peralta (who met at an animal shelter in 2013). Their mutual love for senior dogs is the driving force behind our organization where we are committed to rescuing vintage (senior) dogs from shelters and assisting owners who can no longer care for their senior pets.

Kristen, Marc, and their team of volunteers make sure these animals are provided with love, attention, and medical care for the last months or years of their lives. To date, VPR has saved the lives of over 1,000 dogs.
