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.

Story
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: 6 Years (as of 11/13/25) Weight: 23 lbs. (as of 11/7/25) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Mary Puppins (aka Itsy) is a littermate with her sister Vera Wang (aka Bitsy). These sweet girls will actually come running together when called by one name:  "Itsy Bitsy". While these beautiful little girls are not bonded, we would love to see them placed together if possible. They are described as precious, lovely and perfect houseguests. They play for a bit and then settle down and cuddle together. They have lived together their entire lives so far. They have unique personalities but are perfectly blended companions. They would be able to live solo but it would be wonderful if they could live together.  They are both small gals with huge hearts! Mary Puppins and Vera Wang are both described as sweet, goofy, affectionate, quiet and perfect houseguests. Mary Puppins is tan and white and while small is a little bit bigger than Vera Wang. Vera Wang who is brown and white is only 15 pounds. They are housetrained, ride well in a car and walk well on a loose leash. They get along with women, men, older and younger children as well as other dogs and cats. They are just great all around little gals. If you are looking for the perfect little companion or companion(s) it is your lucky day! The foster home where they lived for 5 months describes them as pint-sized pup perfection. These beautiful little ladies don't demand much and give back so much love and unlimited little kisses! Medical Note:  This dog has been treated for heartworm disease.  Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future.  Whenever possible, SOSARL advocates for following the American Heartworm Society guidelines for heartworm disease treatment as the safest and most effective methods; the active portion of this treatment protocol can take up to four months to complete.  This dog’s treatment has been completed and the dog has tested negative for microfilaria; the has been cleared to resume normal activity and is ready to be placed into an adoptive home.  This dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment; future complications are not expected, but are not impossible.  Please ask your Adoption Counselor for the specific treatment protocol used for this dog.  Please check with your vet 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.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 12, 2025, 8:15 am

Story
I met Luna 2 and a half years ago. A couple I knew had her. The couple were in need of a place for them and their dog to go for a short period of time. I ended up asking them to leave due to normal couple issues but I kept the dogs for them till they found a place where they could have them. Long story short another friend took the male dog as it was to much for me to have both. Almost 2 years later and I still have Luna. I love this dog so much but I don't have the time or funds to give her what she deserves. All she wants is love and attention. She wears diapers as she drops urine regularly and if she barks more sprays out. Luna loves stuffed animals to suckle on at night and she loves food. She does get fearful and cowers if she has an accident in her and thinks she's in trouble, I do feel she was abused at one point. Luna just needs the vet care and unconditional love every animal deserves. She is loyal and loving and anyone who adopts her will be lucky to have a dog like her.

Story
Meet Zyon — the 20-lb soul who’s done pretending life with chaos fits him. At 7 years old, this Boston Terrier just wants calm. He spent years trying to keep it together in a busy home, but the noise and unpredictability of little kids were too much. Now he’s safe, healing, and figuring out what it means to actually relax. He’s housebroken, crate-trained, and loyal to the core. He’ll curl up beside you, follow you from room to room, and give his whole heart once he feels secure. But he’s not looking for playdates, toddlers, or dog-park drama — just someone steady who gets him. He loves food (bananas especially), car rides, and quiet companionship. Zyon’s not broken — he just needs a home that matches his energy: peaceful, patient, and real.  Is it you?   This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption. If this is the case, your adoption coordinator will provide guidance on the process.)   To adopt or learn more about this dog, you must complete an adoption application, which can be found on our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com.   PLEASE READ:     •    If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this.     •    All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date.     •    Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments.   Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well.   Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation.   For information on adoption fees, procedures, or FAQs, visit our website: www.sandypawsrescue.com.   The FIRST step in adopting from Sandy Paws Rescue is to submit a completed adoption application.   ##2564007##
