Story
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.

Story
Adoption Donation   $ 299 Located:  RI   Age: approx    11 years old Weight: 14  lbs.   Meet Babs. This gorgeous senior girl came to us from a local shelter after she was surrendered by an owner who could no longer take care of her.  Babs is a sweet girl who does well with structure and a routine. She is not a big fan of car rides but if she's elevated in the car so she can see does better. Babs does potty outside, but if you miss her cues she will potty on pee pads. She's had some previous back issues so we'd like to see her go into a one level home so she doesn't have to deal with alot of stairs at this point in her life. Babs ideal home would be a quieter, one-level home with a fenced yard and someone home a good part of the time as she does have some anxiety.  No kids for her, they make her nervous. Another small dog or cat would be fine.  She loves finding a sunny window to sit by in the morning and being close to her people.    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:  bethmanton@ymail.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.
