Story
Meet Hiccup!He's ridiculously cute. He's silly. His ears don't fit. He has puppy breath.He's perfect.Hiccup is about four months old and weighs just over 25lbs. He's going to be a big boy when he's all grown up - probably around 70lbs or so. Somehow, impossibly, this boy was found as a stray and no one ever called to claim him. We have no idea why because he's an absolute DELIGHT. We really have no idea what breed he is, but if we had to guess...most likely some sort of lab/border collie mix. Hiccup is all things puppy. He's playful, he's immediately best friends with everything and everyone he meets, he loves life, and everything is just SO exciting ALL of the time! He's genuinely not terrible on a leash for a puppy - he could obviously use some basic training but, all things considered, he's got a pretty good foundation.He will most likely be too much for older, calmer dogs to deal with. He's always up to some shenanigans or mischief. If it's a more tolerant dog that either has eternal patience or can match that silliness, he would do great! Cats are a little concerning to him - he doesn't understand what they are or what their purpose is. He didn't show any red flags but he also has no idea what to do with them. He would be great with kids 5+ as long as the family is dog savvy and understands that puppies can be clumsy, bouncy, and mouthy until they learn manners.If you're looking for sunshine in dog form, Hiccup is it!

Story
June Bug is a beautiful Border Collie/Shepherd mix with a big personality. This affectionate girl absolutely LOVES people, especially children, and is always ready to share cuddles, belly rubs, and plenty of love!June Bug was found running loose in Arkansas and, sadly, was never claimed. After spending time in a loving foster home, PAWS was asked to help find this wonderful girl the forever family she deserves.If you're looking for a four-legged babysitter, June Bug is ready to volunteer! She adores children of all ages, loves playing with them, and has even been known to curl up on the floor for a nap beside them. She's still learning that jumping up to give hugs isn't always necessary, but her enthusiasm comes from a place of pure love!June Bug gets along with dogs of all sizes, although she does enjoy being the BOSS and can play pretty rough. A submissive canine companion could be a good match, but she'd be equally happy soaking up all the attention herself. She does need to be fed separately from other dogs, although she has no issues with people around her food.This smart girl is housetrained using a doggy door, crate trained, and a quick learner who easily picks up new routines. She may need a little adjustment to a new potty schedule without a doggy door. Crating when home alone is recommended, as her mischievous side occasionally takes over, especially when there's food to be found! She's also wonderful on leash, enjoys outings and social events, and is a terrific traveler who rides quietly while watching the world go by.June Bug's ideal home would be an active, loving family, preferably with children to play with and adore! A fenced yard would be a bonus but isn't required, as long as she gets plenty of exercise, walks, adventures, and family time.June Bug is a fun-loving, affectionate, incredibly smart girl who wants nothing more than to spread happiness wherever she goes. She's ready to give one lucky family a lifetime of loyalty, laughter, cuddles, and unconditional love!All known information about the animal is listed above.

Please contact Sandra (sandralamb@comcast.net) for more information about this pet. Adoption Donation  $199   Located: RI Age: 5 yrs old  Weight: 65 lbs    Sophie Pepper is a happy, affectionate, and very active pup looking for an active family! She loves long walks, outdoor adventures, and being close to her people. Sophie would do best with older kids or adults and a family who loves to have fun as much as she does. She’s already worked with a trainer, and three additional training sessions are included with her adoption fee! With slow introductions, she may be able to live with other dogs over time.   If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website   www.fohari.org and email my foster parent for more information:  save4paws@gmail.com  Our adoption application can be found here: https://fohari.org/application/  Our Adoption Process:   Go to our website and select the animal you are interested in. ALL animals are in foster homes as we do NOT have a  shelter where you can visit. Some animals are in foster care in New England, and some are located in other states. If the initials following the animals name are a state, then that is the state where the animal is located. If initials are not a state, then those are the initials of the foster home outside of New England and you will not be able to meet the animal ahead of time. Complete our online application You will be contacted by phone or email by the foster parent  or a member of our adoption team and will have the opportunity to find out more about the animal, and ask any questions that you have to ensure the animal is a good fit for your household. If the animal is local, you can meet the animal, but you would not be able to take the dog home until you are approved to adopt.  From our end, we will check references and schedule a home visit.  If you live in an apartment, or a condo, we will need to verify permission to own the animal from your landlord or condo board. Please let your vet’s office and references know we will be contacting them. If your  references are positive, we will schedule a home visit by a volunteer. Please try to accommodate the home visit volunteer as most  have busy schedules. Delays in the visit will result in a delay in the adoption. Once you are approved, you will receive an e-mail with your  adoption contract attached. This e-mail will have details about pick up, the balance of the adoption fee that is owed, etc. Please email your signed & witnessed contract and pay your adoption fee in full, and for any animals located out of state, you will be contacted for details about transport to New England. Once you have paid your adoption fee in full and sent back your contract, you can make arrangement to pick up your animal from the foster home or from transport depending on where the animal is located. Please bring a harness, collar, ID tag and leash when you are picking up the dog unless otherwise instructed by the foster parent. Our extensive approval process is intended to ensure the best fit between our animals and adopters. Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) reserves the right to deny any adoption application with or without disclosure of cause. Your adoption fee helps to cover the cost of all age appropriate vetting and transportation. FOHARI.ORG makes no explicit or implicit guarantees in reference to the health, temperament and/or the breed of the animal. The animal is adopted ‘as is’, and the adopter assumes all responsibility for treatment of any and all existing conditions or any other conditions of physical or temperament changes that may occur. FOHARI.ORG will provide the animal with the basic vaccines, heart worm test and sterilization of dogs and cats before adoption if the age and current health of the animal permits. While FOHARI.ORG makes every effort to place only healthy animals, FOHARI.ORG cannot guarantee the health of any animal, and shall not be held responsible for any medical expenses that may be incurred. Rescuer will provide information received from the veterinarian exam, observations on the temperament of the animal and a best guess of the breed. Friends of Homeless Animals Inc.
