Story
Blondie is the very definition of “shy at first, sweet forever.” This beautiful golden girl has come a long way from a difficult past, where she and her sister were left to raise puppies in unsafe conditions. Thanks to the compassion of a kind rescuer and the support of Paws New England, Blondie and her babies were brought to safety—and her journey to healing began.Now in a loving foster home, Blondie is learning what it means to feel safe, cherished, and part of a family. While she can be a little hesitant at first, her gentle spirit shines through once she feels comfortable. When she bonds with someone, it’s pure joy—tail wags, happy jumps, and a heart full of love she’s been waiting to share.Blondie gets along well with other dogs, enjoys playing with kids, and is starting to discover the joys of toys and leash walks. Her foster mom says she’s smart and eager to please—she picks up on new things quickly and is learning every day.Blondie is looking for a patient, kind-hearted family who will continue helping her build confidence at her own pace. In return, she’ll give you loyalty, love, and the quiet magic of a dog who’s finally found her forever.Name: Blondie Breed: Carolina Dog/CrossbreedSex: FemaleAge: 1 year  (estimated)Weight: 55.0Spayed/Neutered: YesVaccinations: Up to dateHeartworm: Positive on recent testing.

Story
Adoption Donation   $ 499 Located:  in RI  (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details ) Age: approx 2-3 years old or Weight: 50lbs     Layne is a beautiful 2-3-year-old, 50 lb golden pup. Layne came to us pretty timid and scared of the world but has since gained a lot of confidence. She wants to be loved and give love in return. Layne lives with other dogs, kids and a baby. She is a sweetheart. She is not afraid to put the rowdy male dogs she lives with in their places .  She is pretty quiet. She is the only dog in the house who does not bark at the mailman .  Layne does best being able to run free and watch the birds fly by so a fenced yard is preferred. Layne loves playing fetch and treat time. She loves romping around the yard with her four-legged foster brothers. She does well with senior dogs as well.  If you have lots of love and patience to give a former shelter dog, a fenced yard and another friendly pup, please reach out to set up a meet and greet with this sweet girl. She also has a foster brother, Puddles, who is looking for a home and they would be perfect being adopted together if you were looking for two dogs.      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:    reginasfosterdogs@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.

Cheeto is now ready for his next chapter! He’s a perfect mix of playful energy and laid-back charm. Whether it’s romping around at daycare, tackling hiking trails, or playing endless games of tug-of-war (his favorite!), Cheeto is up for any adventure. At home, he transforms into the ultimate snuggle buddy, bringing warmth and comfort to any couch or bed. 🥏 What Cheeto Loves: 🐾Tug-of-war with humans or doggy pals 🐕 🐾Running and playing with kids or canine friends 🐾Relaxing and enjoying some quality cuddle time Cheeto is leash, house, and car trained, making him the perfect companion for any family, big or small. He would thrive with an active household or one with a playmate to share his joyful spirit. If you’re looking for a pup who will keep you smiling and make every day an adventure, Cheeto’s your guy!
