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: 2 yrs. at 3/25/26 Weight:  28 lbs. at 3/25/26 This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Let's be frank. If you’ve been dreaming of a little gentleman with big feelings, a smooshy face, and a heart that thumps excitedly every time you walk into the room… meet Frankie Boston. This tan‑and‑white cutie is basically a walking mood enhancer. He’s sweet, he’s social, he’s a little bit goofy, and he’s absolutely convinced that your lap was designed specifically for him. Frankie has settled into his foster home like a pro. We're told he’s affectionate, gentle, and mild‑mannered, the kind of houseguest who brings sunshine wherever he goes. He loves squeaky toys, cuddles, laptime, and any opportunity to be your little shadow. He’s also a fan of playgroups and yard time, where he gets to show off his zoomies and his “I’m a big dog in a small dog body” confidence. He’s great with dogs of all sizes and he’s tolerant and playful with kids, whether they’re calm bookworms or energetic whirlwinds. He’s calm in his crate for 6–8 hours at a time and settles nicely once he knows the routine. He’s happy to chill when you’re busy and thrilled to join in when you’re not. He’s still working on leash skills and basic obedience, but he’s eager to please and learns quickly. Frankie's waiting to meet you. 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 31, 2026, 11:10 am

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.

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.

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.
