Story
If you would like to apply to take VINCE home, click the link next to their picture, or Visit our website at Www.godogsgorescue.org and fill out an application! We look forward to hearing from you. Vince started life on a hoarder house and was a shy boy when he came to us, it took him a minute to work out that the world is ok outside of that house and it’s ok to trust. He’s come on in leaps and bounds, and has turned into a happy little boy in his new environment. Whilst we expect there to be a period of adjustment and some shyness he has shown us that he can do it. He’s very well socialised with other dogs. He might not be the best candidate for a super noisy home with young children. But that’s for his sake not theirs, he’s a sweetheart.

Sweet Maxine is a low key, lower energy lady, she likes other dogs and playing with a few toys, but mainly she likes to just hang out with a person. She would make a great companion animal for an older person who is looking for a sweet, gentle easy little dog.

Diesel looks like a little tough fella but he’s not, he’s a big baby. After starting life in a hoarder house he’s now living free and enjoying being able to be a real dog. He has medium energy, and has got past his shyness, and whilst we expect there to be a period of adjustment going into a new home, he has shown us that he can absolutely do this and be a very happy and confident little guy.

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.

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.

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: 4 months (as of 3/11/26) Weight: 14 lbs (as of 3/12/26) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet Orison, a delightful puppy full of life and love. Orison and his brothers Michael, Author, and Benedict and sisters Divinity and Angel want to meet you! These are typical puppies with typical puppy behavior - like chewing on stuff, playing with each other, playing with toys, playing with people and just playing in general! Orison’s sweet, friendly nature makes him a joy to be around. Gentle yet playful, he adores cuddling after a long day of fun. He has boundless energy and a particular fondness for squeaky toys. Playing with his siblings is his favorite pastime, showcasing his sociable spirit. As the pups are so young, they are just getting started on potty, crate, and leash training and think they will pick up these skills quickly as they seem very smart. They are playful with other dogs and kids and even seem ok with cats that they like to chase in playfulness. Orison, or one of his littermates, would make a wonderful addition to any family looking for a loving and lively companion to bring joy and laughter into their home. Medical Note: This puppy was born to a mother dog who was positive for heartworm disease and had circulating microfilaria.  Microfilariae can be transmitted from mothers to unborn puppies through the placenta; these worms, however, will not develop in the puppy into adult heartworms because the heartworms must pass through a mosquito to fully develop.  Microfilariae may live up to two years within the host dog in whom they were born, but they should be eliminated when the puppy received its first dose of heartworm preventative.  This puppy has been given heartworm preventative regularly while in SOS care, but to ensure that any remaining microfilaria are fully eliminated and the risk to other dogs (via mosquitos) is minimized, SOS recommends that the puppy be kept on Advantage Multi or Parasedge (imidacloprid + moxidectin) for monthly heartworm preventative for at least the first three months after adoption.  This product provides protection from heartworm disease as well as fleas, but another tick preventative (oral) should be used. 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.March 15, 2026, 12:31 pm

Story
Meet Pierre!Pierre is a real life goblin. He's like a tiny torpedo come to life. Pierre doesn't just come in like a wrecking ball, he IS the wrecking ball. Luckily, he's only 24lbs. Unluckily, he's a French bulldog so he's built like a lumberjack-slash-linebacker with a head harder than steel so he can definitely take you out at the kneecaps if he parkours hard enough.Pierre has one speed and it's NYOOOOM! Despite being four years old, his energy levels are ALL puppy. He's like a Chain Chomp on amphetamines minus the actual chomping, he just makes the demogorgon noises typical of his breed. He's definitely an extrovert and has zero issues making friends with people immediately upon meeting them. No boundaries, no personal space, he can and will jump all over your legs to say hello. His leash manners are okay - he gets distracted easily and gets overexcited and will start gnawing at the leash but he listens very well to corrections. If you're consistent with him, he'll pick up on it easily enough.He does not seem like he's been socialized with other dogs because he looks at them and has NO IDEA what to do. He just stares at them with the most puzzled expression on his face and then looks at his handler like, "what do I do with this?" A patient, tolerant dog would be best. He does not like cats (and seems to be very offended by their mere existence) so, no cats. Kids 10+ just because we don't have a history of him being around younger kids. He LOVES his toys. He's obsessed. His play is INTENSE. He'll share, though, so no worries about toy aggression. To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com.
