Story
Meet Dixie! 🖤🤍 Dixie is a 1.5-year-old Border Collie/Heeler mix with the cutest perky ears, soulful eyes, and an expression that somehow manages to be both serious and ridiculously endearing at the same time. She has a unique look that makes you stop and stare—and then instantly smile. Dixie has rickets, but it truly doesn’t slow her down or dampen her joyful spirit one bit. She’s a happy, playful girl who loves to bounce around, soak up attention, and be part of whatever’s going on. Her personality is bright, loving, and full of charm. She’s incredibly friendly and adores everyone she meets, including kids, cats, and other dogs. Dixie is smart, eager to please, and already crate trained and housebroken, making her an easy and wonderful addition to a home. Dixie is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to find a forever family who will love her just as she is—unique, joyful, and absolutely adorable. 💕

Story
Meet Todd 🐾😍 Todd is a 5-month-old Border Collie mix with the sweetest personality and a fun, playful spirit. He’s 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, he’s incredibly affectionate and loyal. Todd is doing wonderfully with house training and crate training, and he’s 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 💕

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
Hello, our names are Elle (f), Emma (f), Ember (f), Eden (f), Emmett (m), Eddie (m), Ethan (m), and Ely (m). We were born approximately on 02/06/2026. No one knows because mom had us around the Artic blast in a culvert. Some how our amazing skinny momma fed her babies, kept them warm & safe until we were found. Our foster mom is in love with our mom, Shadow. We will be ready to head to our furever homes after April 6, 2026. We are the silliest, happiest, funniest babies. We just love human contact, snuggling, and playmate. We are looking for families who want to go hiking, camping, to the beach or the lake. I have heard stories of going to the apple orchards, playing in the snow and getting a pup cup or a munchkin from Dunkin Donuts. Please request an application from alittlelonger2home@gmail.com to adopt me. I am ready to come home.

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.
