Story
Alpha is the biggest pup of the litter and the most loyal. He is super smart and affectionate. He loves to play, but is not hyper. He is very focused and chill for such a young border collie mix! We are huge fans of the active breeds, and if you are looking for a smart, easy-to-train pup that will be on the smaller side (maybe 35-40 lbs?), this is your pup! Alpha is looking for a best friend! RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the New England area and delivered in RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please go to: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com

Story
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. 8 Months (a s of 4/4/2024)  Weight: 48.9 pounds (a s of 3/4/2024) Location: RI   This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. I ntroducing Shiloh, the eight-month-old bundle of joy with bright blue eyes and a heart of gold. This charming border collie mix is on a quest to find her forever home after an unexpected turn of events in her young life. Adopted as a puppy, Shiloh’s world was turned upside down when her family split, leaving her in search of a new place to call home. Despite the upheaval, Shiloh remains sweet, friendly, and full of infectious enthusiasm. Her wagging tail and boundless energy are sure to bring joy to anyone lucky enough to cross her path. With just the right amount of energy to keep up on adventures, she’s also a pro at snuggling up on the couch for some quality downtime. Shiloh loves to explore, sniffing out new sights and sounds with curiosity and delight. While she’s still mastering leash manners, she adores brisk walks in the neighborhood and playful romps in the park. And when it’s time to unwind, there’s nothing she loves more than curling up in your lap for some well-deserved snuggles. She is a smart girl that is housetrained, and crate trained, but still needs some work on her leash skills and would love to join you on a walk or hike so she can get more practice! Shiloh is eager to learn and grow with her new family. While she may still be a puppy in need of guidance, her gentle soul and unwavering loyalty make her a truly special companion. If you’re seeking a loyal and loving canine friend to join your family, look no further than Shiloh – she’s ready to steal your heart and become the cherished member you’ve been searching for. 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: www.sosarl.org/aa/   **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. April 24, 2024, 7:15 pm

Story
Jupiter is the smartest of the litter! But these are the chillest smart pups you will ever meet! At just 2 months, they are already focused and crate trained and learning crate training! They love to follow me around and watch what I’m doing! Jupiter especially always has her eye on me. She would be a great dog for someone that wanted to teach one how to use the talking buttons or agility! But without the massively hyper energy! Jupiter is an amazing pup! She’s looking for a best friend! RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such.

Story
 ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home.  In some cases, we can help transport.  Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions  follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:)     Meet Rain, a 15-month-old medium-sized mixed breed sweetheart rescued from Puerto Rico. Rain has been through a lot in her short life, but you’d never know it. She has the tenacity, spirit, and spunk of a happy girl. She is sweet, intelligent, and knows basic commands. She would do best in a home with a fenced-in backyard where she can run, play, and explore. Good with other dogs? Yes. Good with cats? Unknown. Quirks or fears? Afraid of loud sounds and traffic. Needs positive reinforcement, love, and patience. Housetrained? Yes. Crate-trained? Yes, she has been sleeping in a crate at night. Health problems? No known health issues. Activity level? High. She likes to play nip. Plays with toys? Yes, but do not give her cheap toys, toys that can break, or chews that she can break and swallow. Car travel? Very good in the car and no car sickness. And check out her heart-shaped nose and oh-so-adorable RCA dog appearance.     .All dogs are located in NY/NJ area All our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social.     Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff  Instagram: zanisfurryfriends   Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!)  All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport.  Please go to our site  https://zanisfurryfriends.org  fill out an application  Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too.   Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people. The upside to this is that you won't feel as guilty leaving them alone and you get twice the love. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer, and you can always donate! If you want to know about cats/dogs specifically being shown at our adoption locations, please email us info@zanisfurryfriends.org closer to the date so we know your interest and will make every effort to have that pet at the event or let you know how and where you can meet.  It is extemely helpful and speeds up adoption if the application is filled out prior to visiting us so please do that before coming to our weekend events. Our weekend locations are: Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent  Follow us on FB, Zani's Furry Friends ZFF, for latest updates. Usually we are in our foster homes so all this is a bit more stressful but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer. And you can always donate:) Cats and Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD w/ all age appropriate shots and microchipped.
