Story
DOB 12-7-2024 Wolfie is a gorgeous Red and White Long Hair! This beautiful boy loves everyone, likes to play with toys and his friends. He is neutered, heartworm negative and has received a Proheart6 preventative injection, up to date on shots and is now looking for a loving home. His adoption fee is 900.00 and his transport fee is 135.00. HEARTS is our transport, they run every 2 weeks. It's the best transport and the only one we will use. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

FENCED YARD REQUIRED Adoption Donation   $ 399   Located:  RI (Transportation costs included to the Northeast , plz ask for more details ) Age: 10 mos. old      Meet Leo!   Leo is a 10-month-old Dachshund/Hound mix with the cutest little face and the biggest personality! This silly boy is full of energy, curiosity, and love — basically a furry toddler who keeps life exciting.  Leo would   love   a fenced-in yard where he can zoom around and explore, and he’d be thrilled to have another playful dog (or a few!) to wrestle and romp with. He’s all about fun, cuddles, and a little bit of mischief — you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on your shoes, because this charming “devil child” likes to test his limits in the most adorable way.  No condo or apartment living for this boy as he is very vocal.  Leo is working with a trainer on stranger danger. He becomes vocal and will retreat.  The trainer feels he is best suited for an older, energetic retired or work from home couple.     With his goofy grin and happy heart, Leo will bring laughter and love to any family lucky enough to call him theirs.     *** As part of the adoption donation this pup will participate in FOA's spay/neuter program or other programs available through FOHA. All puppies will have age appropriate vaccinations.  All small Pups need to be adopted by by children old enough to understand how to be respectful and gentle in handling a small young pup. ***     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: save4pawz@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.

Story
Meet Kingston!People keep telling me this is a dog we have available for adoption but I'm kinda only seeing a very crispy vienna sausage? IDK, I just work here 🤷ðŸ\x8F»â€\x8D♀ï¸\x8FKingston is a three year old dachshund mix. He's thicker than a Snicker, thicker than a milkshake, AND thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. He's heavy like a Chevy. He's a whopping 24lbs.While we don't body shame here and we appreciate a good wiggle and wobble, this is obviously too much for his itty bitty legs. He is on a weight loss journey and will need support through these trying times.Kingston can be shy at first but he's a sweet, lower energy kind of guy who will approach people on his own to give them a sniff and say hello. He perked up a little bit when he heard a squeaky toy but hasn't shown any real interest in toys just yet. He's pretty good on a leash and does enjoy his walks and outside time.Kingston does well with other dogs but can be wary if they come on really strong. He's the kind to peacefully coexist, mind his own business, and stay in his own lane. He hasn't shown any real reaction to cats one way or another...like, they're there, but we're not even sure if he knows that they're there. He may be choosing to pretend that they don't exist. Kids 12+ because he can be a nervous guy at first.He can be a little...difficult...for the vet but we'll forgive him. No one actually ENJOYS going to the doctor and if you say you do...you're lying.To apply, visit foreverpaws.com and click adopt to download our application. Once complete, you can email it to us at fpas1@foreverpaws.com.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bonded Duo Looking for Their Forever Home ❤️ Scooby and his brother, Pepper, are searching for a forever home where they can stay together. At 12 years young, these sweet boys have unexpectedly found themselves in need of a new family. Don't let their age fool you—they have plenty of energy, love life, and still act much younger than their years! Meet Scooby Scooby enjoys his walks but his favorite exercise happens indoors! Every single day, he proudly empties the toy box to make sure every squeaky toy still squeaks. Every. Toy. Every. Day. It's one of his many charming quirks that is sure to make you smile. Scooby does resource guard his bones, so mealtime and special treats are best managed appropriately. He and Pepper have always been the only dogs in their home and would love to remain the center of someone's world. However, they could happily live with another respectful, easygoing dog that understands Scooby's boundaries and won't interfere with his prized bones. Scooby is a healthy little guy who recently had a dental procedure that included 13 extractions, along with a full blood panel and removal of a small growth on his chest. He has recovered well, is up to date on all vaccinations, and is microchipped.   Meet Pepper Pepper likes to stay fit by chasing squirrels and chipmunks and enjoying long walks on leash. When he's finished with his daily workout, his favorite place is curled up next to his person for a good snuggle. Pepper is a healthy little guy who recently had a dental procedure that included 18 extractions, along with a full blood panel and removal of a large fatty tumor. He has recovered well, is up to date on all vaccinations, and is microchipped. The Perfect Pair Scooby and Pepper are: House trained Great on leash Excellent car riders Friendly with other small dogs Wonderful with older, respectful children These loving brothers have spent their entire lives together and are looking for a family willing to give them the love, comfort, and security they deserve for their golden years. In return, they'll reward you with endless companionship, laughter, and twice the love. Could your home be the forever home Pepper and Scooby have been waiting for?
