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.

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
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.

Story
Meet Todd Todd is a 7-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, 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

🏆Major🏆 This handsome boy is Major, he is the best boy and the life of the party! 🎉 Major is around two years old and is a most likely a border collie / lab mix (a Borador). Major is very smart and is already house trained. He is great with other dogs and loves everyone he meets. 😊 Major needs room to play and he is looking for a big fenced in yard to run off his energy and play endless games of fetch. He would make the perfect family dog or bestie for an active compile. If you are interested in learning more about Major, please submit an adoption application. This guy checks all the boxes for being the best boy and can’t wait to meet his forever family. ❤️ If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at https://www.dixiegirldogrescue.org/forms PLEASE MAKE NOTE- OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN ALABAMA (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED), OUR DOGS TRANSPORT TO THEIR NEW FAMILIES IN RHODE ISLAND AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN ADOPTED.

Story
Lilly-- What you dream of in a fur baby's story! Lilly is a perfect size fur baby that would be a great addition for someone who wants an active already trained good to go type of dog! She is six years old and ready for her next adventure. She has been loved her whole life and taken excellent care of, but her current environment is no longer one she can thrive in. The young babies and toddler make her to nervous and anxious and it's just not fair to Lilly. Lilly is SO smart, loyal, affectionate, and fun. She is the kind of dog who just wants to be wherever her people are. She loves being included and is happiest when she can hang out right alongside you. Some of Lillys favorite things: Snuggling in bed Going for walks Hiking and exploring Running around and having room to roam Peanut butter Long car rides — she is an absolute champ Being near her people Her crate — she has always genuinely loved her crate and sees it as her safe space Learning and training — she is incredibly intelligent and has been very well trained Being OFF leash and getting to explore — she has been trained for this and absolutely loves it She is house trained; crate trained and comes with her E-collar and everything she needs to continue her training. We truly believe Lilly was made for a home with space, structure, adventure, and someone who wants a best friend by their side. A child-free and ideally dog-free home would probably be her happiest fit, not because she's horrible, but because she prefers to be an only dog and offers so much to someone that a second dog isn't necessary. She would thrive in an environment where she can soak up all the attention. Lilly loves adventure and has been in so many social situations that she is amazing. The best way to begin a potential adoption is to directly EMAIL STORKWOODS@COMCAST.NET and request an application.
