Story
Meet Nova 🖤 Nova is a great companion, ready to take on any adventure. She's extremely affectionate, playful, and happiest with people. She hasn't met cats or kids, so slow introductions to new friends will be important. She would do best as the only dog in the family. Her loving nature and energetic personality would fit well in an active family who's ready to give her all the well-deserved attention! Apply to adopt today, or email dogs@rispca.org with any questions 🐶

Adoption Donation  $4 99     Located: RI Age: 5 yrs old  Weight: 65 lbs    Sophie Pepper is a very active pup who is looking for an active family! She is friendly, affectionate, and a happy girl, who loves her long walks and outdoor time. She's a fun loving girl, super active and affectionate, and she loves to be close to her people and feel part of a family. She would be happiest in a home with older kids for adults only and who's looking for a home with people who love to have fun as much as she does. She's had the benefit of working with a trainer, and three additional training sessions are included in her adoption fee!       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.

Story
Introducing Lyla! 🐾💕 Lyla is a 1.5-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix weighing about 60 lbs. She is such a sweet, gentle girl with a wonderfully calm and easygoing personality. She’s low energy and happiest simply being wherever her people are. If you move to another room, you can pretty much count on Lyla quietly following right behind you. 🥹❤️ She loves lounging on the couch and snuggling up with her people, but she’s also always happy to head out for a nice walk. Lyla does great with kids, cats, and other dogs, making her an easy addition to just about any family. She’s fantastic in her crate and is doing great with house training. If you’re looking for a laid-back, loving companion who just wants to be by your side, Lyla may be your perfect girl! 🐾💕

Story
Meet Skip! 🐾 Skip is a 1.5-year-old Border Collie mix with the sweetest, most lovable personality! ❤️ He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he warms up, he is incredibly affectionate and cuddly and loves being close to his people. And as if he wasn’t already adorable enough, he has the most beautiful, incredibly soft coat that makes him even better to snuggle with! 🥰 Skip is very smart, eager to learn, and picks up on new things quickly. He’s crate trained and about 95% house trained, so he’s well on his way to having all of his good-boy skills mastered! He has moderate energy but tends to be on the calmer side and is a great mix of playful and easygoing. He does great with kids and other dogs and would especially thrive in a home with another friendly dog to help build his confidence and keep him company. Because of his Border Collie instincts, he may be tempted to chase cats, so a cat-free home would likely be the best fit. Skip is neutered, fully vaccinated, and ready to find his forever family! 🐾❤️

Story
Meet Todd Todd is a 5-month-old Border Collie mix with the sweetest personality and a fun, playful spirit. Hes expected to stay on the smaller side, around 40 lbs full grown, making him a great medium-sized companion. This smart boy is quick to learn and loves to make his people smile with his goofy, funny personality. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he warms up, hes incredibly affectionate and loyal. Todd is doing wonderfully with house training and crate training, and hes already showing how eager he is to learn. He does great with kids and other dogs, but will need a feline-free home as he may chase cats. Todd is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home
