Story
Tank Henson is currently in RI and looking for a 'furever' home!    &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Fresh Chihuahua &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Professional Lap Dog &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 1900s Water Bottle Heater (certified) Tank is a one-year-old, 10 lb very typical Chihuahua — if you love the breed, you already understand. Don’t let his sweet little face fool you, Tank is as fresh as they come and fully convinced he is, in fact, indestructible. When he’s not busy being brave, Tank’s favorite place in the world is curled up on your lap, keeping you warm like the best little heater you’ve ever had. Tank enjoys cozy pajamas, warm blankets, and lounging in comfort. Snow? Hard pass. Spa days? Also a no. Comfort is king in Tank’s world. Now for the important part: Tank has some past trauma and scarring from being attacked by a larger dog, and he copes by trying to act tougher than he is. Tank will attempt to bully bigger dogs and is willing to throw paws, so any dog in the home must be extremely patient, tolerant, and unbothered. Tank is not rated E for everyone and will do best with a Chihuahua-savvy adopter who appreciates his spicy personality and big attitude in a tiny body. If you love sassy little lap dogs with confidence for days and are ready to respect Tank for exactly who he is, he just might be your perfect match. If you are interested in adopting this dog please complete the adoption application at www.rhodehomerescue.org/adoption-form to become a pre-approved adopter.   If you were already approved through Rhode Home Rescue within the last 6 months, contact us today! Be sure to check our Facebook page "Rhode Home Rescue" for details on upcoming events and other announcements.January 19, 2026, 3:16 pm

Story
If you would like to apply to take ARIEL 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. This little one came from a hoarding situation, we are estimating to be somewhere between 1-2 years old. Being taken out of that situation when it’s all you’ve ever known is a bit of an adjustment, they have just gone into foster homes, and with patience and a bit of time we are confident they can adjust into a normal life. None of the dogs were nippy, just nervous. With this in mind we would recommend no small children or hectic households. They are all used to other dogs and a confident doggy companion in the home would be great. You can apply now will be able to go home mid February
