Adoption Donation   $    499               Located:      MS   (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details )    Age: approx 8  years old     Weight: 6   lbs    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:  friendsoha@yahoo.com Please verify the location and readiness of this dog with us.  Because we save lives from various locations through out the United States, some dogs may not be in New England yet, nor ready for immediate adoption.   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
Laverne is a sweet, affectionate rescue girl who is ready to bring warmth, love, and companionship into her forever home. She is around 2 years old and weighs approximately 25 pounds, making her a wonderful medium-sized companion—perfect for cuddles, adventures, and everyday life. Laverne is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX, where she has settled beautifully into a loving routine. Laverne is fully potty trained and crate trained, making her an easy transition into a new home. She is good with all dogs and truly enjoys their company, whether it’s playtime in the yard or relaxing together after a busy day. That said, she does not necessarily need a home with another dog—she would be just as happy soaking up all the love and attention as your one-and-only. One of her favorite pastimes is soaking up the sunshine. She loves curling up in a sunny spot by a window for a peaceful nap. She also enjoys going places! Laverne loads easily into the car and likes to stand on the console so she can see everything on the road ahead. She is leash trained and walks nicely, making daily strolls enjoyable. Laverne may initially bark at strangers and especially men, but she warms up quickly once she feels safe. Outings without a lot of new people are preferred. At heart, she is a true cuddle bug who adores being held, petted, and sleeping with her family. She’s ready to offer endless affection and loyalty to her forever home. 💛 To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

Story
Gregory – 8 Week Old Border Terrier Schnauzer Mix | The Sweet Talker with the Serious Face Gregory is a happy little boy with the cutest serious expression when he locks eyes with you. Do not let that thoughtful look fool you though, his tail is almost always wagging. He was the first of the two brothers to discover his bark and loves to “talk” when he wants your attention. He enjoys playing outside and is right there for a good game of chase with his brother and foster sibling. He may be slightly calmer than Theodore, but at this young age he still has plenty of playful puppy energy. Gregory loves giving kisses and will follow them up with gentle nibbles. If you wear your hair in a scrunchie ponytail consider yourself warned, he and his brother think that is the best toy ever. Like his brother he sleeps through the night and does well with the crate when left open. Morning snuggles are his specialty and he loves starting the day curled up close to his people. Gregory would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a sweet affectionate puppy with just the right amount of playful spark. He is being fostered in Texas but can be transported. You can apply directly for Theodore by clicking the Apply for Adoption button on the linked page. https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/FODS-A-814 All our dogs come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org.

Story
Meet Willa Jean! 🐾 Willa Jean is a shy but sweet scruffy girl with a heart that blooms once she feels safe. Though reserved at first, Willa forms deep bonds with her special person and finds comfort in quiet companionship. She currently lives with a foster family that includes older kids and other dogs, and she enjoys the calm, steady presence of her foster dad—her favorite porch buddy. Willa has a soft spot for gentle men and would thrive in a home with a patient adult or a quiet singleton who understands that trust takes time. She’s comfortable around calm canine companions and could coexist peacefully with another mellow dog. Her ideal day includes lounging in her own yard, soaking up the sunshine, and ending the day curled up in a cozy spot next to her person. If you’re looking for a loyal snuggle buddy who just needs a little time and patience to blossom, Willa Jean is ready to find her forever home—and her forever heart. 💕 Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/684109704c93cce7b20cbfa7 If you have any questions, email her adoption coordinator at Marie@threelittlepittiesrescue.org We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care.

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!    Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.   Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there!

Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option.

Story
**Fostered in Seattle, WA and Ready for Meet and Greets** Estimated at 2 years old and weighing in at a scruffy, adorable 8.5 pounds, Huck might be part Chihuahua, part Border Terrier—or maybe even part bunny, because this boy loves to frolic through the grass and clover. Huck is a sweet, gentle soul who’s looking for a peaceful, quiet home. He can be a little shy at first but give him some time to trust and he’ll become your constant shadow and biggest fan. He’s potty trained, great in the car, and enjoys short outdoor adventures—sunny strolls, a little beach exploration, or simply sniffing around the yard. While he’s not an outdoorsman at heart, he’s always up for being by your side. Huck is currently fostered with a small dog and a cat and does wonderfully with both. He would benefit from having another doggy friend in the home to help him blossom and keep him company when his humans are away. Because he thrives on companionship, he’ll do best with an adopter who is home more often than not. This little frolicker isn’t suited for a busy household with small kiddos, but he’s discovered the joy of snuggling with his foster mom and soaking in the calm, cozy life. Huck gives an excellent side-eye, loves a good cuddle, and will happily settle in for quiet time. If you’re looking for a loyal, ride-or-die sidekick who will bring endless love, snuggles, and gentle companionship, Huckleberry Frolicking Bunnykins is your boy. 💛 Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/68410820923ffcbc5f0ee82c Questions?
