Story

Meet Shadow! If you're looking for a dog with a big personality and an even bigger zest for life, Shadow is ready to steal your heart! This exuberant girl approaches every day with enthusiasm, curiosity, and plenty of playful energy. Whether she's bouncing around the yard, splashing in a kiddie pool, or exploring the world by your side, Shadow is always ready for her next adventure. Shadow is looking for a home with teens and older, where her excitement and energy will be appreciated. She would thrive with an active family that can provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and positive training to help her channel all that enthusiasm. When it comes to other dogs, Shadow is dog selective. She has shown that she's interested in making canine friends, especially those who enjoy playful chase games and respect her personal space. She prefers slow introductions and does best with calm, socially savvy dogs who can take her cues. While she may use her voice during play and can become overwhelmed by overly pushy or wrestling-style playmates, with thoughtful introductions and patient guidance, Shadow could enjoy sharing her home with the right canine companion—or she may be just as happy soaking up all of your attention as your one-and-only. Shadow is ready to find a family that will embrace her playful spirit, celebrate her quirks, and give her the time she needs to build confidence. In return, you'll gain a fun-loving, adventurous best friend who's always ready to make every day a little more exciting. If you are interested in Shadow, 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

Double the Love: Meet Jojo & Rudy! Some friendships are simply meant to last a lifetime, and that's exactly the case with Jojo and Rudy. This sweet senior bonded pair is searching for a loving home where they can continue life's journey together. From the moment you meet them, it's easy to see their wonderful personalities. Jojo greets new friends with a wiggly body and happy tail, while Rudy may let out a few alert barks at first—but don't let that fool you! He quickly melts into affection and loves leaning in for pets once he knows you're a friend. Together, they enjoy leisurely walks, taking their time to sniff, explore, and appreciate the world around them. These two are looking for a home with teens and older. They have successfully lived with cats in the past, but they made need a slow introduction since it has been a while since cohousing with any kitties. They are dog selective, so any potential canine companions should be introduced thoughtfully to ensure everyone is a good match. Rudy is also living with cataracts and blindness. While his vision is limited, he continues to enjoy spending time with his favorite people and navigating familiar surroundings with confidence. His future family should be prepared to help him adjust to a consistent environment and understand that his vision loss doesn't stop him from enjoying life—it just means he experiences the world a little differently. Jojo and Rudy have spent years building a special bond, and they're hoping to find a family willing to open their hearts to both of them. If you're looking for two loyal companions who will reward your kindness with unconditional love, this deserving senior duo is ready to fill your home with warmth, comfort, and twice the companionship. If you are interested in Jojo and Rudy, 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 them at any time.

Bailey

Mixed Breed (Large)

Male, 4 yrs 6 mos

Middletown, RI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

If you're looking for a dog who loves with his whole heart, Bailey is your guy. This affectionate cuddle bug is convinced he's the perfect lap dog, and he'll happily snuggle up as close as he can. Once Bailey forms a bond, he's incredibly devoted and will be a loyal companion through thick and thin. Bailey is happiest when he can be the center of your world, soaking up all the love and attention for himself. While he'd prefer not to share his home with another pet, he's perfectly happy making canine friends on walks or outings—he just enjoys coming home to his favorite people. When meeting new people, Bailey appreciates a slower introduction with someone he knows and trusts. The good news? A few tasty treats go a long way toward winning him over! Because Bailey sometimes forgets just how enthusiastic (and strong) he can be, we'd recommend a home with older, sturdier teens who won't mind his affectionate, oversized lap-dog approach. If you're ready for a loyal best friend who will keep your lap warm and your heart full, Bailey can't wait to meet you. If you are interested in Bailey, please call us at (401) 846-8276. You are also welcome to stop by our Animal Care & Adoption Center in Middletown, RI to meet him during our open adoption hours.

Story

Topaz is a sweet, cuddly girl with a playful, goofy side that's sure to make you smile. She loves spending time with her people and is looking for a family that will appreciate both her affectionate nature and her fun-loving personality.

Once she feels comfortable, you'll discover a loyal companion who loves being with her people and is always ready to brighten your day. Topaz is looking for a home where she can truly thrive. She would be happiest as your canine companion and is best suited for a home without small animals due to her high prey drive. She'll also benefit from a family that's committed to continuing her positive reinforcement training and helping her build confidence as she settles into her new life. If you're looking for a devoted friend with plenty of love to give and a silly side that will keep you smiling, Topaz can't wait to meet you. If you are interested in Topaz, please call us at (401) 846-8276. You are also welcome to stop by our Animal Care & Adoption Center in Middletown, RI to meet her during our open adoption hours.
