Story
Adoption Donation  $ 599 Located: RI Age: approx. 2 years old Weight: 45 lbs.   Iris is a sweet, smaller boxer mix at 45 lbs. that would love to be part of a young, active family with kids. She was surrendered by a mom with 4 kids when they became homeless and are hoping she finds a family to love her like they did. She would do best with a stay at home or work from home parent and a fenced yard for her to run and play in. She's hoping for a life filled with love and adventures. She is up to date on vaccines and her spay is included with the adoption fee. No cats for this girl.  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:  mmm651@gmail.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.

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) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Don't let the gray muzzle fool you! This girl is playful and engaging despite her age. 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! She loves her toys!  Due to her age she is what we would call functionally deaf; because of this she can startle 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 was 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. Lady Bird suffered from smoke inhalation but is now thriving in her New England foster home.  Medical Note:  Lady Bird is mostly deaf due to age; 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.April 6, 2026, 10:09 am

Story
Meet Lumos, a bright and bouncy 1-year-old Boxer mix whose name is as magical as his personality! Weighing in at 45 lbs, Lumos is full of life, love, and goofy charm. This playful pup is a total socialite—he adores other dogs and thrives on playtime, especially games of fetch and tug of war. He’s not just fun—he’s smart too! Lumos already knows several commands like sit, stay, lay, paw, and place, and he’s fully potty trained. Lumos greets everyone like a long-lost friend, bringing enthusiastic energy and a wagging tail wherever he goes. Because of his exuberant spirit (and a bit of jumping), he’d be happiest in a home with older children. Due to his energy levels, he would love a fenced in yard for playing fetch and he would prefer a home without kitties. If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate, and active companion, Lumos might be your perfect match! Lumos is currently being fostered in RI and is available for adoption throughout Northeastern states. *All breed listings are educated guesses and not guaranteed*

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
Just a girl and her toy waiting for a forever home. Meet Pippa. She is a 1 year 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.
