Bolt is a friendly, loving, and energetic best friend. I am sadly in a situation where I can no longer have a pet where I am moving. Looking for an active owner who can provide plenty of play time and room for Bolt to run. He lived with a cat and two other dogs in his life and is very friendly with other animals.

Story
Meet Amelia! The definition of a gentle giant. Amelia is the equivalent of a deer in dog form. She is graceful, poised, sweet, and beautiful. Despite her older age, she still has so much pep in her step. She loves toys and would like nothing more than to be surrounded by her favorites while running around in a field. She is okay with younger teens, but she is a bit large for younger children since she does not know how big she is. Amelia prefers to be the only pet in the home since that is what she is familiar and comfortable with. If you are interested in Amelia, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to meet with her at any time. Feel free to visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.

Story
Meet Steven! A happy-go-lucky fun sized adult dog looking to add excitement to your life. He has a lot of personality for being a pretty little guy. Steven must think he is a cat, because he tends to prefer sharing his quarters with cats rather than dogs. He can make dog friends outside of his home, but he definitely likes being the only dog in the house. He is looking for a special family that understands his energy needs and his silly quirks. Before going home, our behavior team would like to have a conversation with any potential family to make sure it is the best fit for both! If you are interested in Steven, please call us here at (401)846-8276. You are welcome to stop by our Animal Care and Adoption Center here in Middletown, RI to visit him at any time. Feel free to visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.

Story
Meet Mikala! She is a beautiful, intelligent dog with a heart full of love and a spirit that's ready to bond deeply with the right person. She thrives in a calm, steady environment where she can build trust and enjoy a predictable routine. In our care, Mikala has formed loyal connections with those she feels safe around. She would do best in a home where she can be the only pet. This would ensure that she can enjoy all the love and attention she deserves. While Mikala enjoys quiet walks and time outdoors, she prefers not to be in overly busy or crowded environments. A peaceful home with a secure yard and someone who understands the value of patience, space, and respect for her boundaries would be ideal. Mikala is not just a pet, she’s a partner, a protector, and a deeply devoted friend once she feels secure. If you're someone who appreciates a meaningful connection and has the time and heart to let Mikala truly blossom, she just might be the perfect addition to your life. If you are interested in Mikala, please call us here at (401)846-8276. To set up a meeting with Mikala, email abrzozowy@potterleague.org to learn more. Feel free to visit our website, www.potterleague.org, for more information on adopting from us.
