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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application   HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see    HERE Age: approx. 11 months (as of 7/3/2026) Weight: approx. 46 lbs. (as of 7/3/20206)    This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet Dewey! This handsome dude is ready to fill your life with adventure and love! Dewey has the sweetest face that says I'm all yours. If your looking for an outgoing companion that loves going places, hiking, running, going for walks and meeting new people look no further! And when the adventures are over Dewey is happy to chill and enjoys lap time. We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog. We are still learning how Dewey does with cats and children and Dewey, like all puppies, is still in process of leash learning. Dewey 's Story: Dewey was found and rescued from a pond by his foster. Medical Note:  This dog has tested positive for exposure to ehrlichia and showed symptoms consistent with an active infection.  This dog has been treated with a 28-day course of doxycycline and all symptoms have resolved.  This dog is ready for adoption, though may continue to test positive for exposure to ehrlichia for some time.  There is also a chance that the symptoms could recur and/or additional treatment be needed.  Please see here for more information on ehrlichia, and please check with your vet before you apply to adopt this dog if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history. An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see  HERE  for more information about this. To apply for this dog, fill out an adoption application on our website:  Adoption Application - SOS Animal Rescue League in Rhode Island (sosarl.org)   **Additional info you should know -  For most of our dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix.  We get to know each of our dogs as an individual and do our best to describe and place them based on personality not breed label.   Some dogs may not yet be in New England, nor ready for immediate adoption.  There may be additional vetting, quarantine, waiting periods and/or fees depending upon your state of residence. If you have questions or concerns on any of this, you can discuss this with your Adoption Counselor.

Story
Darling  Haze has arrived in Rhode Island adoption ready :)  He is the kindest, charming and most thoughtful puppy....everyone who meets him falls in love with him in an instant....and such a dapper fellow with the most handsome markings!  Haze is a happy little mutt puppy with several breeds melded in....a fun genetic mystery who more likely than not should mature to a medium size.  We think he was separated from his mom early, after which  this poor fellow spent a month at a large intake shelter in Houston getting passed over, but he has very much relished  being in a foster home since!  Haze has a high social center and wants very much to make friends with other dogs. Placing him with another dog would be a perk so that he can catch up on some dog socialization, but it certainly is not essential.  He'd do very well with a full family to provide him with plenty of attention, which he loves as a pup with not too independent a nature, but he does know how to settle and for a puppy his energy is quite reasonable.   Haze is doing very well with learning the ropes as an eager and attentive pupil, showing an exceptional amount of natural handler focus, does well on his walks, is coming along well with his housebreaking, and will make a perfect companion to devote your time to through your adventures this summer and beyond! For further information or an application, please contact Lucy at maramuser@gmail.com  Our adoption fee is $450, but unfortunately due to state restrictions we cannot adopt to residents of New Hampshire or Massachusetts.   For further information or an application, please contact Lucy at maramuser@gmail.com  Our adoption fee is $450, but unfortunately due to state restrictions we cannot adopt to residents of New Hampshire or Massachusetts.

Story
Frankie is a sweet puppy boy who is a foster favorite. He's everything you want in a dog: goofy, loving, playful, sweet, and cuddly! We think he's a border collie/bully breed mix, but whatever his mix is, it makes him perfect! A smart little guy, Frankie keeps his crate clean and does really well in the house. He loves chasing balls and wrestling with other dogs. This sweet puppy's greatest trait is that he loves his people. While his littermates take off when they come out of the crate, he immediately stays behind to give kisses and be petted. There's a heart dog in every litter, and Frankie is that dog. Frankie was born in December 2025 and found on a dirt road in January. He's fully vetted and ready to be your best snuggle buddy.
