Story
I'm Brigid, (1-8-25) petite (15lb) and gorgeous. I've been learning to relax and feel secure. Now that I realize I'm safe, my personality is starting to shine. I absolutely adore my person and will follow them everywhere. Snuggling? Yes, please! I'd love to curl up on your lap and watch some TV. I'm almost fully potty trained (I do best when I can learn the routine). I'm just beginning to play with my canine foster siblings - at first, I was scared so I thought I needed to be tough. I have been known to playfully abscond with a slipper, but like i said, the playful side of me is just starting to peek through. I really thrive on gentle love and will be thoroughly devoted to you!

Story
Meet Rocky, a sweet 11-year-old senior pup looking for his new home. Rocky is 15 pounds of affection and will gladly give your hand (or your nose!) kisses when you greet him. He has a very chill personality and spends the majority of his day peacefully napping, but he also enjoys exploring the rescue. When he finds a blanket, he'll burrow tightly and wrap himself up like a little burrito. It's adorable (and impressive)! Rocky is mostly blind and does a pretty good job navigating, but will need some time to familiarize himself with the layout of his future home. He needs daily eye drops and isn't too fussy about us administering them. He's been living with 20 other dogs at our rescue and does great with everyone. Rocky has a large lipoma on his right side and a grade 2 heart murmur. He also has a broken tooth and will need a dental, which VPR will cover at our vet. Rocky is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and recently had full blood work. To apply to adopt Rocky, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt

Story
***SOLO, BUTTERS AND MIST ARE LOCATED IN A FOSTER HOME AROUND CUMBERLAND, RI - Now that they have arrived to the NE, an approved applicant would have to be willing to drive to meet/pick up the animal*** Super duper small breed alerts!! Rough and tough and…. Ha who are we kidding. These babies are everything but that. Whitney – 1 year old – female – 5.6 lbs – Fully grown – Darker color Glimmer – 1 year old – female – 5.0 lbs – Fully grown – All white Tofu – 10 weeks old – female – 3.0 lbs – Glimmers puppy – All white Mist – 10 weeks old – male – 5.5 lbs – Glimmers Puppy – All white These furry babies came from a hoarding situation where they were not well taken care of. Thanks to a foster of ours, we were able to help these 4 babies out of that situation, into a temporary, loving foster home. Are they all good with other dogs? YES! They came from a house with 20+ dogs and they get along great with the current foster’s dogs’ Are they good with cats? Yes! Cats are all bigger than they are. Kids? The puppies would be wonderful with children. The adults are a bit shy at first but come around and are very sweet Do they bark? Only when they’re super playful or see dogs/cats they don’t know yet. They do not bark at just the air, like some are known for House trained? Mist and Tofu are not house trained. Glimmer and Whitney are working on crate training. Will do great with one-on-one time and patience. They all love being held, it makes them feel safe. Mist and Tofu love playing with toys and are quite outgoing. All four have a habit of taking blankets from the others dog’s crates and trying to hoard them for themselves. Be aware of the blanket thieves! Whitney and Glimmers ideal home would be one that is patient, kind and has another dog for them to help them gain confidence. If there are no other dogs in the home, someone that is home and willing to socialize with them properly to ensure they continue to thrive and come out of their shells. They would do great with gentle, older children. Tofu and Mist are only puppies and would thrive in a home that is a bit more active. These puppies may be small, but they are mighty. They love to play with their toys and run around. They are not shy babies. We don’t believe these pups will get over 10 lbs, especially since mom is only 5 lbs! Adoption Fee Includes: Whitney/Glimmer – Spayed, current on annual vaccinations (Bordatella, rabies, parvo/distemper), heart worm negative, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, dewormed, microchipped and includes transport cost from Texas to the East Coast. Tofu/Mist – Current on Bordatella, 2 sets of parvo/distemper vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, dewormed, microchipped and includes transport cost from Texas to the East Coast. To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily.

Story
This dapper fellow is Shorty, being fostered in RI since arriving from Houston, TX where he was an owner surrender at a high intake shelter.  A sad scene for him, but Shorty is resilient and not emotionally fragile,  a quintessential big dog in a little body, self important and chock full of personality, and has dealt with his journey well.  A funny character who can fill a room and keep you laughing, he is a great companion. He knows what it is like to live a happy life in a home, loves his dog bed but is also pert and lively.  He has had some old injury, an ACL tear or slight patellar luxation, and tends to scoot around on three legs at faster gaits, but it does not seem to bother him, let alone slow him down.   Shorty is a long bodied Chihuahua mix of some sort, with that nice delicacy Chis can have.  Ultra sweet with his people, he loves his toys, is very playful and cooperative with other dogs, but he thinks cats are evil so does belong in a cat free home.   He was turned in by his owner reporting him to be six years of age....a bit grey through the face for that, but the vet we had do his health certificate didn't argue that age status, so it may just be his markings. Rescue is always a guess, lol, but what we don't have to guess on is that he is a readymade pet, does well in his crate, enjoys walks and is a very happy boy.  Housebroken overall but not immune to occasional accidents, and he can talk a lot so not ideal in a setting where noise might be an issue,  he will fit into a myriad of situations....a full family, single person or retiree.  Southpaws is happy to maintain its adoption fee at $450, but unfortunately we cannot adopt to residents of Massachusetts and New Hampshire due to state restrictions. For an application, or should you have any questions, please contact Lucy at maramuser@gmail.com

Story
This special little one year old chihuahua is called Magic Maude.  And especially sensitive little girl, that somehow got just a little too round and is on a dedicated exercise in nutrition program to drop some weight.  Currently, she is eighteen pounds and we field that she would be best to be in the ten to twelve pound range as a goal.  She originally was in a chaotic home that animal control had to step in and take away 112 chihuahuas that we're living in the home.  An unfathomable amount of dogs that were not altered, but yet healthy.  When mod came to our rescue and was put in a foster home. She lay there in her crate for days very depressed and emotionally unresponsive.  She barely moved from the one spot she lay in.   Eventually, after almost two weeks, she perked up with the company of few other chihuahuas coming to join her in her large crate.  Soon she was going on walks with the foster. Mom and seemed to enjoy the freedom of being outside, taking in all the new sights and sounds of the neighborhood.  We know she had never been leash walked due to the overcrowding at her original home.  This girl is spayed and healthy and ready to start all over again. She wants love and we promised her a great family who will love her and take her for walks and treat her like the Magic Maude that she is.  She is currently in Nashville, Tennessee, and can be transported to the northeast region as well. Please write to Critter Cavalry Rescue  at ccrnewengland@gmail.com  if you want to adopt or know more.  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 7, 2025, 6:32 pm
