Story
Meet Prim! Prim is a 13-week-old sweetheart who is ready to find her forever family! She’s the perfect mix of playful puppy and cuddle bug. Prim loves playing with her toys and having fun with her dog friends, but when playtime is over, she’s more than happy to curl up on the couch for some snuggles with her humans. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her a great addition to just about any home. Prim is already potty trained and crate trained, which makes the transition into her new home even easier. She is fully vetted — vaccinated, rabies vaccine, microchipped, and spayed — and all she’s missing now is a family to call her own. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and cuddly companion, Prim is ready to steal your heart. If interested in adopting please go to the website or go to the adoption process section and click on the adoption link to submit your adoption application.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Pippi and her brother Palomino, delightful Dachshund mix puppies with a heart full of joy. Their days are filled with playful antics and tender moments, making everyone around them smile. Pippi loves playing with toys and has a special affection for children, often cuddling up for a nap after a fun play session. Her gentle and friendly nature makes her the perfect companion for any family. Pippi and Palomino are almost-there with house training, are crate trained for up to 6 hours, and still need a little work on their leash skills. We strongly recommend that all our dogs attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it offers an opportunity for confidence building and socialization for the dog. Adopting Pipp or Palomino means bringing home endless love and playful laughter, enriching your life with their sweet and cuddly personality. 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.March 7, 2026, 1:37 pm

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: approx. 2 years old (as of 1/22/26) Weight: approx. 35 pounds (as of 1/22/26) This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped.   Meet the radiant Luna Moon! She is the proud mom of the “moon” litter and is looking for a fresh start and place to call home. Although we think she has some Dachshund and Basset in her, we are sure this pretty girl has some other breeds in the mix. Luna is a 100% certified goofy goober. She is hyper and super playful, described as always having her happy button “on!” She loves to run and play, loves people and other dogs. She is very interested in cats and small animals but may try to chase them. Luna’s rescue story started when she was found after being dumped by the side of a lake. She was so emaciated that no one knew she was pregnant until the "moon" puppies arrived just days later! We believe this brave and resilient girl was holding out hope for a safe place to birth her babies. Not only is Luna a total love bug, she does well in the crate and is really well mannered overall. Her areas for growth are learning boundaries for affection with humans and a little less pulling on leash walks. She will soon be fully house trained and is making excellent progress. She hopes her fur-ever family will be patient and willing to work on skill building together! Are you willing to welcome this sweet soul into your heart and home? Fill out an application and let her know you’d love to meet her!   Medical Note: This dog is being treated/has been treated for heartworm disease. Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future. Whenever possible, SOSARL advocates for following the American Heartworm Society guidelines for heartworm disease treatment as the safest and most effective methods; the active portion of this treatment protocol can take up to four months to complete. Once treatment is completed and the dog tests negative for microfilaria, the dog will be cleared to resume normal activity and will be ready to travel north and be placed into an adoptive home. This dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment, and is expected to complete treatment with no complications. Please ask your Adoption Counselor for the specific treatment protocol used for and current status of this dog. Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history.   An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see   HERE   for more information about this.
