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: ~ 10 years (as of 2/18/26) Weight: 50 lbs (as of 2/18/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Meet Lady Bird, a charming senior dog with a heart full of love. Despite her deafness, she remains spirited and joyful. Lady Bird is the epitome of a well-behaved companion, boasting traits like friendliness, independence, playfulness, intelligence, sweetness, and gentleness. She is a smart lady that is house trained, crate trained, and walks great on the leash. Lady Bird is a pleasant co-exister with other dogs; she prefers dogs stay out of her personal space and not try to engage her in play, and would prefer not to live with puppies or playful dogs. She still has some spunk and can be playful - she just prefers to interact with toys and humans!  Due to her mostly deafness, she can also be startled easily, so a low-key household with predictable movements/noises would be best for her. She enjoys her playtime as much as her quiet moments and is adept at communicating her needs and wants in her unique way. Adopting Lady Bird means welcoming a treasure trove of love and loyalty into your home, ready to enrich your life with her serene and joyful spirit. Lady Bird’s story: Lady Bird and her buddy, Paul (coming to SOS soon) has quite the story!  They were in a house fire in Wagoner, Oklahoma. There were five dogs that escaped the fire. The oldest daughter of the homeowners surrendered the animals to rescues. Paul had burns on the back of his body and Lady Bird had smoke inhalation. They are in separate foster homes and thriving - they are now healthy and ready to find new forever homes - either together or apart. Medical Note:  Lady Bird is mostly deaf; she can hear shrill very loud noises but can't hear the dogs around her.  Due to this, she can be startled, so making visual contact before touching her is recommended to help promote a sense of trust and safety (she has never show aggression towards people - this is just a good rule of thumb with deaf dogs). 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.February 23, 2026, 5:01 pm

Story
Rin is a petite brindle beauty, about two years old, with a massive zest for life packed into her small pittie frame. She’s sweet, playful, and fast on her feet—especially when there’s a tennis ball involved! Fetch is her absolute favorite game, and she’ll happily chase after the ball as long as you throw it.This high-energy girl is still very puppyish in her behavior, despite paperwork suggesting she’s closer to 2. Luckily, she settles well in her crate after playtime and loves nothing more than being close to her people. Rin’s love language is touch—she wants to climb into your lap, wrap herself around you, and soak up every ounce of affection.Rin is incredibly social with humans and wants to meet every person she sees. With other dogs, however, she’s still learning her manners. She can be a bit too pushy and insistent, which has led to some altercations with tolerant males she’s been introduced to. With training, structure, and patience, Rin has excellent potential to mature into a more respectful playmate. For now, she may do best as your one-and-only pup while she learns.This gal is very smart and she already knows several basic commands.

Story
Bowie is a 11 month old, male, Boxer mixed breed. His story is heartbreaking and we are on a mission to find him the most amazing forever home possible. He is looking for a home without children. Bowie was found on the side of the road, severely underweight and desperately hungry. During intake, he was so starved that he even tried to eat his dewormer, a heartbreaking reminder of how little he had before being rescued. He is now safe, fed, and slowly learning that he never has to fight for his next meal again. Trust is something he’s still learning, but his progress has been remarkable. The gentle tail wags, the cautious steps forward, and the moments when he leans in for comfort show just how hard he is trying. Everyone who spends time with him is moved by his resilience. His sweetness reveals itself more every day, and there is a quiet gratitude in the way he looks at the people who care for him. Bowie is ready for an adult only home that understands that healing takes time and love. With consistency, compassion, and stability, he is sure to grow into the joyful, confident dog he was always meant to be.

Story
Just a girl and her toy waiting for a forever home. Meet Pippa. She is a 9 month old, female, Boxer mixed breed. Unfortunately, she has not had an easy life and has seen first hand how terrible people can be. She was found on the side of the road with her sibling, painfully thin and searching for food wherever she could. After everything she has been through her sweet personality remains intact. She is slowly learning that meals come regularly now, that hands can be kind, and that people can be safe. Each day she relaxes a little more, leans in a little closer, and begins to trust. Staff and volunteers have quickly fallen for her quiet bravery. She accepts love with growing confidence and is discovering the joy of soft beds, full bowls, and gentle voices. Pippa will blossom beautifully in a patient home where she can continue to learn what it means to be secure and loved. She has already come so far and has so much love ahead of her. She is up to date on vaccinations and has been spayed. ADOPTION INFORMATION HOW TO GO ABOUT ADOPTING: - Come in during adoption hours to apply and fill out an application completely.

Story
Meet Hitachi! This beautiful young boy is looking for a new home. He is a very friendly, well mannered dog. He is a curious boy who takes his sniffing very seriously. When he gets excited he does like to run around and all the snow we have gotten recently doesn't seem to faze him! Hitachi is also impressively fast. He is very loving and enjoys being pet and spending time with people. He is a younger dog who would need someone to be patient with him as he learns how to appropriately adjust to a new home. His two different colored eyes definitely draw you in and give him a unique look as well. Does Hitachi sound like a good fit for you? Inquire and set up a meet and greet today.
